Linux kernel source tree
When "read_only" is exposed as a mount option, it is redundant with the
standard option "ro" and gives users multiple ways to specify that a
bcachefs filesystem should be mounted read-only. This presents the risk
of having inconsistent options specified.
This can be seen when remounting a read-only filesystem in read-write
mode, using mount(8) from util-linux. Because mount(8) parses the
existing mount options from `/proc/mounts` and applies them when
remounting, it can end up applying both "read_only" and "rw":
$ mount img -o ro /mnt
$ strace mount -o remount,rw /mnt
...
fsconfig(4, FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG, "read_only", NULL, 0) = 0
fsconfig(4, FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG, "rw", NULL, 0) = 0
...
Making "read_only" no longer a mount option means this edge case cannot
occur.

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.
