Commit Message

Lukas Czerner Oct. 21, 2021, 11:45 a.m. UTC
Add the necessary functions for the fs_context_operations. Convert and
rename ext4_remount() and ext4_fill_super() to ext4_get_tree() and
ext4_reconfigure() respectively and switch the ext4 to use the new api.

One user facing change is the fact that we no longer have access to the
entire string of mount options provided by mount(2) since the mount api
does not store it anywhere. As a result we can't print the options to
the log as we did in the past after the successful mount.

I have noticed the following error on -next on various ARM64 platforms 
that we have ...

  ERR KERN /dev/mmcblk1: Can't open blockdev

I have bisected this, to see where this was introduced and bisect is 
pointing to this commit. I have not looked any further so far, but 
wanted to see if you had any ideas/suggestions?

Cheers
Jon

Hi,

this error does not come from the ext4, but probably rather from vfs. More
specifically from get_tree_bdev()

        bdev = blkdev_get_by_path(fc->source, mode, fc->fs_type);
        if (IS_ERR(bdev)) {
                errorf(fc, "%s: Can't open blockdev", fc->source);
                return PTR_ERR(bdev);
        }

I have no idea why this fails in your case. Do you know what kind of
error it fails with? Any oher error or warning messages preceding the one you
point out in the logs?

I assume that this happens on mount and the device that you're trying to
mount contains ext4 file system? Ext4 is not the only file system
utilizing the new mount api, can you try the same with xfs on the device?

Does this happen only on some specific devices? I see that the error
is mentioning /dev/mmcblk1. Is it the case that it only affects MMC ?
Does this happen when you try to mount a different type of block device
with ext4 on it?

Any specific mount options you're using? Is it rw mount? If so, any
chance the device is read only?

Do you have any way of reliably reproducing this?

Thanks!

Yes, obviously this warning has been there for a while but only seen 
after this change was made.

No only this one.

This is happening on a board in the test farm and so not easy to 
reformat. Looking some more /dev/mmcblk1 is not a valid device, I only 
see /dev/mmcblk0 from the bootlogs on this board. Hmmm, OK I will have 
to take a closer look to see where this is coming from.

So far I have only seen this with the MMC, but I have not tried others.

Interestingly we are booting with NFS and so not mounting any MMC by 
default.

> Do you have any way of reliably reproducing this?

I see it on every boot and this is causing a warning test to fail. This 
is a new failure and I have not seen this before. I don't see it on the 
mainline with the same hardware, only on -next.

OK, I see what is happening. It appears that our test harness always 
tries to mount a device called /dev/mmcblk1. Prior to this change there 
was not kernel error generated and looking at the logs I would see ...

mount: /mnt: special device /dev/mmcblk1 does not exist.

Following this change, now a kernel warning is generated and I see ...

[  137.078994] /dev/mmcblk1: Can't open blockdev
mount: /mnt: special device /dev/mmcblk1 does not exist.

So there is a change in behaviour but at the same time the error looks 
correct. So sorry for the false-positive.

Cheers
Jon

Looking some more, previously, mount_bdev was being called and this has ...

         bdev = blkdev_get_by_path(dev_name, mode, fs_type);
         if (IS_ERR(bdev))
                 return ERR_CAST(bdev);

And now we are calling get_tree_bdev() and this has ...

         bdev = blkdev_get_by_path(fc->source, mode, fc->fs_type);
         if (IS_ERR(bdev)) {
                 errorf(fc, "%s: Can't open blockdev", fc->source);
                 return PTR_ERR(bdev);
         }

Hence, the difference. I was interested to know what had changed.

Cheers
Jon
