Subject: [PATCH] ext4: handle option set by mount flags correctly

Currently there is a problem with mount options that can be both set by
vfs using mount flags or by a string parsing in ext4.

i_version/iversion options gets lost after remount, for example

$ mount -o i_version /dev/pmem0 /mnt
$ grep pmem0 /proc/self/mountinfo | grep i_version
310 95 259:0 / /mnt rw,relatime shared:163 - ext4 /dev/pmem0 rw,seclabel,i_version
$ mount -o remount,ro /mnt
$ grep pmem0 /proc/self/mountinfo | grep i_version

nolazytime gets ignored by ext4 on remount, for example

$ mount -o lazytime /dev/pmem0 /mnt
$ grep pmem0 /proc/self/mountinfo | grep lazytime
310 95 259:0 / /mnt rw,relatime shared:163 - ext4 /dev/pmem0 rw,lazytime,seclabel
$ mount -o remount,nolazytime /mnt
$ grep pmem0 /proc/self/mountinfo | grep lazytime
310 95 259:0 / /mnt rw,relatime shared:163 - ext4 /dev/pmem0 rw,lazytime,seclabel

Fix it by applying the SB_LAZYTIME and SB_I_VERSION flags from *flags to
s_flags before we parse the option and use the resulting state of the
same flags in *flags at the end of successful remount.

Looks good to me. I did some small unit testing to observe the
behavior. Below logs are *with your patch applied* for nolazytime e.g.
which you referred above. But without your patch, as you mentioned
nolazytime was not taking into effect.

mount 8635 [007] 5477.595642: probe:ext4_remount:
(ffffffff813bd270) s_flags=0x72810000 flags=0x0 data_string="i_version"
mount 8635 [007] 5477.595672: probe:ext4_remount_L55:
(ffffffff813bd3d1) s_flags=0x70010000 flags=0x0 data_string="i_version"
mount 8635 [007] 5477.595758: probe:ext4_remount_L217:
(ffffffff813bd787) s_flags=0x70810000 flags=0x0
mount 8635 [007] 5477.595772: probe:ext4_remount_L246:
(ffffffff813bd820) s_flags=0x70810000 flags=0x800000



Please feel free to add.
