Subject: [PATCH] libext2fs/ismounted.c: check open(O_EXCL) before mntent file

Currently the ext2fs_check_mount_point() will use the open(O_EXCL) check
on linux after all the other checks are done. However it is not
necessary to check mntent if open(O_EXCL) succeeds because it means that
the device is not mounted.

Moreover the commit ea4d53b7 introduced a regression where a following
set of commands fails:

vgcreate mygroup /dev/sda
lvcreate -L 1G -n lvol0 mygroup
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mygroup/lvol0
mount /dev/mygroup/lvol0 /mnt
lvrename /dev/mygroup/lvol0 /dev/mygroup/lvol1
lvcreate -L 1G -n lvol0 mygroup
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mygroup/lvol0 <<<--- This fails

It fails because it thinks that /dev/mygroup/lvol0 is mounted because
the device name in /proc/mounts is not updated following the lvrename.

Move the open(O_EXCL) check before the mntent check and return
immediatelly if the device is not busy.

^ I think you are supposed to use {} for the 'else if'
branch too, once the first branch uses it

Other than the small coding style above, which depends on maintainer, the code
looks ok, and you can add:

Currently the ext2fs_check_mount_point() will use the open(O_EXCL) check
on linux after all the other checks are done. However it is not
necessary to check mntent if open(O_EXCL) succeeds because it means that
the device is not mounted.

Moreover the commit ea4d53b7 introduced a regression where a following

vgcreate mygroup /dev/sda
lvcreate -L 1G -n lvol0 mygroup
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mygroup/lvol0
mount /dev/mygroup/lvol0 /mnt
lvrename /dev/mygroup/lvol0 /dev/mygroup/lvol1
lvcreate -L 1G -n lvol0 mygroup
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mygroup/lvol0 <<<--- This fails

It fails because it thinks that /dev/mygroup/lvol0 is mounted because
the device name in /proc/mounts is not updated following the lvrename.

Move the open(O_EXCL) check before the mntent check and return
immediatelly if the device is not busy.
