From 972d0093c2f7b1bd57e47a1780a552dde528fd16 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amir Goldstein Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2017 12:14:18 +0300 Subject: ovl: force r/o mount when index dir creation fails When work dir creation fails, a warning is emitted and overlay is mounted r/o. Trying to remount r/w will fail with no work dir. When index dir creation fails, the same warning is emitted and overlay is mounted r/o, but trying to remount r/w will succeed. This may cause unintentional corruption of filesystem consistency. Adjust the behavior of index dir creation failure to that of work dir creation failure and do not allow to remount r/w. User needs to state an explicitly intention to work without an index by mounting with option 'index=off' to allow r/w mount with no index dir. When mounting with option 'index=on' and no 'upperdir', index is implicitly disabled, so do not warn about no file handle support. The issue was introduced with inodes index feature in v4.13, but this patch will not apply cleanly before ovl_fill_super() re-factoring in v4.15.
