Lukas Czerner 47788043e5 ext4: handle read only external journal device
[ Upstream commit 273108fa50 ]

Ext4 uses blkdev_get_by_dev() to get the block_device for journal device
which does check to see if the read-only block device was opened
read-only.

As a result ext4 will hapily proceed mounting the file system with
external journal on read-only device. This is bad as we would not be
able to use the journal leading to errors later on.

Instead of simply failing to mount file system in this case, treat it in
a similar way we treat internal journal on read-only device. Allow to
mount with -o noload in read-only mode.

This can be reproduced easily like this:

mke2fs -F -O journal_dev $JOURNAL_DEV 100M
mkfs.$FSTYPE -F -J device=$JOURNAL_DEV $FS_DEV
blockdev --setro $JOURNAL_DEV
mount $FS_DEV $MNT
touch $MNT/file
umount $MNT

leading to error like this

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
