Subject: [patch 7/7] uml ubd: handle readonly status


CC: Jens Axboe <[email protected]>

Use the set_disk_ro() API when the backing file is read-only, to mark the disk
read-only, during the ->open(). The current hack does not work when doing a
mount -o remount.

Also, upgrade some warnings to WARN_ON(1) statements. They should actually
become BUG()s probably but I'll avoid that since I'm not so sure the change
works so well. I gave it only some limited testing.

I don't think that's a sound change. The WARN_ON() is strictly only
really useful for when you need the stack trace for something
interesting. As the io happens async, you will get a boring trace that
doesn't contain any valuable information.

Ok, removed, and resending the patch, is the rest ok? I.e. is that supposed to
work? I gave a walk around and it seemed that the code handles
set_{disk,device}_ro() even during the open, but I'm no block layer expert.

Thanks for the review.

I'd keep the checks for sanity. Although the set_disk/device_ro prevents
regular fs write mounts, a buggy layered drive could still send down a
write by accident.
