Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y] xfs: always warn about deprecated mount options
Date: Sun, 26 Oct 2025 14:04:22 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251026180422.171824-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2025102645-oblivion-whoopee-576c@gregkh>

From: "Darrick J. Wong" <djwong@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 630785bfbe12c3ee3ebccd8b530a98d632b7e39d ]

The deprecation of the 'attr2' mount option in 6.18 wasn't entirely
successful because nobody noticed that the kernel never printed a
warning about attr2 being set in fstab if the only xfs filesystem is the
root fs; the initramfs mounts the root fs with no mount options; and the
init scripts only conveyed the fstab options by remounting the root fs.

Fix this by making it complain all the time.
