Currently, e4defrag will not work on machines where /etc/mtab is not present
OR is empty.
This patch does 3 things:
a) Add option "-m mtab" to e4defrag so that user can specify any file to
be scanned for otbtaining mounted filesystems info.
b) If mtab option is not specified, first we try to scan /proc/mounts, if failed
to access this file, we try with /etc/mtab.
c) In function is_ext4, check if the varibale "mnt_type" is null before
calling strcmp, otherwise segfault would occur if mtab is empty.

Under what conditions would this be useful; i.e. when is mtab information
ever in a file other than /etc/mtab?

On embedded systems usually /etc is read-only. In that case /etc/mtab,
though  present, is empty.
When we tried to run e4defrag on our system, it gave segfault due to
the reasons mentioned in patch.

Then we look into xfs_fsr and found that it has this -m mtab option
due to which it worked without any problem
on our system. Also, xfs_fsr scans /proc/mounts first. So we changed
e4defrag accordingly.

Clearly the segfault needs to be fixed, and looking at /proc/mounts makes sense.
But I just wonder about the usefulness of being able to specify an arbitrary
file in lieu of /etc/mtab.  Unless there's a clear usecase I'm not sure I'd
add it.

Compatibility with xfs_fsr is the only reason I can think of to do it :)

I just can't imagine why mount information would be anywhere other than
/etc/mtab or /proc/mounts.

Just pushing back on the complexity a little.

you are right. Actually xfs_fsr may work on more than 1 mounted XFS
filesystem in a single run.
That is why it makes _little_ sense for xfs_fsr to have this mtab
option so that user can provide
exclusive mounted xfs partitions info in a seprate file.
But e4defrag would work on a single mounted partition in a single run.
This won't be much helpful here if not for compatiblity.
