Patch series "ocfs2: Refactor read-only checks to use
ocfs2_emergency_state", v4.
Following the fix for the `make_bad_inode` validation failure (syzbot ID:
b93b65ee321c97861072), this separate series introduces a new helper
function, `ocfs2_emergency_state()`, to improve and centralize read-only
and error state checking.
This is modeled after the `ext4_emergency_state()` pattern, providing a
single, unified location for checking all filesystem-level emergency
conditions. This makes the code cleaner and ensures that any future
checks (e.g., for fatal error states) can be added in one place.
This series is structured as follows:
1. The first patch introduces the `ocfs2_emergency_state()` helper
(currently checking for -EROFS) and applies it to `ocfs2_setattr`
to provide a "fail-fast" mechanism, as suggested by Albin
Babu Varghese.
2. The second patch completes the refactoring by converting all
remaining read-only checks throughout OCFS2 to use this new helper.
This patch (of 2):
To centralize error checking, follow the pattern of other filesystems like
ext4 (which uses `ext4_emergency_state()`), and prepare for future
enhancements, this patch introduces a new helper function:
`ocfs2_emergency_state()`.
The purpose of this helper is to provide a single, unified location for
checking all filesystem-level emergency conditions. In this initial
implementation, the function only checks for the existing hard and soft
read-only modes, returning -EROFS if either is set.
This provides a foundation where future checks (e.g., for fatal error
states returning -EIO, or shutdown states) can be easily added in one
place.
This patch also adds this new check to the beginning of `ocfs2_setattr()`.
This ensures that operations like `ftruncate` (which triggered the
original BUG) fail-fast with -EROFS when the filesystem is already in a
read-only state.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
