           Summary: Re-mount XFS causes "noattr2 mount option is

proposed fix

After recent kernel update, I notice "XFS: noattr2 mount option is
deprecated."
kernel message every time I shutdown the system. It turns out that remounting
a
XFS causes the warning.

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Mount a XFS and remount it with different options:
quoted
$ mount some_xfs.img /mnt/test
$ mount -o remount,ro /mnt/test
2) Check kernel message. Remounting causes a line of warning:
quoted
XFS: noattr2 mount option is deprecated.
That sounds like a mount(1) bug, not a kernel bug. Something is
adding the "noattr2" option to the remount line. Running you test
on my system doesn't show that warning. I'm running a 5.11-rc5 kernel
and:

$ mount -V
mount from util-linux 2.36 (libmount 2.36.0: selinux, smack, btrfs, namespaces,
assert, debug)
$

And there is no such "noattr2 is deprecated" output. What version of
mount are you running?

What we really need from your system is debug that tells us exactly
what the mount option string that the mount command is handing the
mount syscall.
I had checked my fstab and kernel params and didn't found any use of "attr2"
option. It doesn't break things, but is a little confusing.
"attr2" != "noattr2"

The kernel is warning about a mount option being specified that
isn't even in the set emitted in /proc/mounts. Nor is it on your
command line. Yet the kernel is warning about it, and that implies
that mount has passed it to the kernel incorrectly.

Cheers,

Dave.
