      xfs: read only mounts with fsopen mount API are busted · d8d222e0
      Dave Chinner authored 
      Recently xfs/513 started failing on my test machines testing "-o
ro,norecovery" mount options. This was being emitted in dmesg:

[ 9906.932724] XFS (pmem0): no-recovery mounts must be read-only.

Turns out, readonly mounts with the fsopen()/fsconfig() mount API
have been busted since day zero. It's only taken 5 years for debian
unstable to start using this "new" mount API, and shortly after this
I noticed xfs/513 had started to fail as per above.

The syscall trace is:

fsopen("xfs", FSOPEN_CLOEXEC)           = 3
mount_setattr(-1, NULL, 0, NULL, 0)     = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
.....
fsconfig(3, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "source", "/dev/pmem0", 0) = 0
fsconfig(3, FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG, "ro", NULL, 0) = 0
fsconfig(3, FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG, "norecovery", NULL, 0) = 0
fsconfig(3, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE, NULL, NULL, 0) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
close(3)                                = 0

Showing that the actual mount instantiation (FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE) is
what threw out the error.

During mount instantiation, we call xfs_fs_validate_params() which
does:

        /* No recovery flag requires a read-only mount */
        if (xfs_has_norecovery(mp) && !xfs_is_readonly(mp)) {
                xfs_warn(mp, "no-recovery mounts must be read-only.");
                return -EINVAL;
        }

and xfs_is_readonly() checks internal mount flags for read only
state. This state is set in xfs_init_fs_context() from the
context superblock flag state:

        /*
         * Copy binary VFS mount flags we are interested in.
         */
        if (fc->sb_flags & SB_RDONLY)
                set_bit(XFS_OPSTATE_READONLY, &mp->m_opstate);

With the old mount API, all of the VFS specific superblock flags
had already been parsed and set before xfs_init_fs_context() is
called, so this all works fine.

However, in the brave new fsopen/fsconfig world,
xfs_init_fs_context() is called from fsopen() context, before any
VFS superblock have been set or parsed. Hence if we use fsopen(),
the internal XFS readonly state is *never set*. Hence anything that
depends on xfs_is_readonly() actually returning true for read only
mounts is broken if fsopen() has been used to mount the filesystem.

Fix this by moving this internal state initialisation to
xfs_fs_fill_super() before we attempt to validate the parameters
that have been set prior to the FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE call being made.
