[PATCH 0/6] vfs: extend loopback (bind) mounts by mnt_flags

The following set of patches extends the per device
'noatime', 'nodiratime' and last but not least the
'ro' (read only) mount option to the vfs --bind mounts,
allowing them to behave like any other mount, by
honoring those mount flags (which are silently ignored
by the current implementation in 2.4.x and 2.6.x)

the patch makes the following syscall variations behave
as expected:

- open (read/write/trunc), create
- link, symlink, unlink
- mknod (reg/block/char/fifo)
- mkfifo, mkdir, rmdir, rename
- (f,l)chown, (f)chmod, utime
- access, truncate, mmap
- ioctl (gen/ext2/ext3/reiser)
- (f,l)setxattr, (f,l)removexattr

an older version of this patch was included in
2.6.0-test6-mm2, and v2.6.4-wolk2.0, the patches are
in use by several people, without any issues ...

please consider inclusion (in -mm ?) and/or let me know
what needs to be changed to get this functionality into
mainline ...

TIA,
Herbert

Shouldn't it be retval = do_loopback(&nd, dev_name, recurse, mnt_flags); ?

Nevermind.

This one looks good, it's an obvious fix. But please follow the proper
patch format, see http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/tpp.txt
for details.

Please see the original mail from Al on this subject. We need to
split the "am I allowed to write to the fs" part out of permission().
Once we're at it we can pair it with the "don't need to write to fs anymore"
even and get saner unmount/remount semantics.

To get there we will still need the vfsmount propagatios, so these should
come first in the series. Then the get/release write access helpers and
last the actual per-mount ro bit. Your mnt_flags propagation fix is fine
on it's own and should go in asap.

And please send the patches to -fsdevel and in the proper patch format.
I have planned to look at this again in February, tell me if you want to
finish it before or at the same time, then I won't spend time on it.

could you point me to this thread/email, so that I can
(re)read it?

will do so, once I figure out what was improper ...
(as I tried to follow Andrew's tpp document in the first palce)

once I figured out what is desired/wanted/acceptable, I'm
willing to do it ...

the mnt_flags are propagated into do_loopback(), so that
they can be stored with the vfsmount
