From bc86256d2e80e6731a2055175d9a32cf96eb71f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Artem Bityutskiy Date: Wed, 6 Jun 2012 18:56:51 +0300 Subject: affs: stop setting bm_flags AFFS stores values '1' and '2' in 'bm_flags', and I fail to see any logic when it prefers one or another. AFFS writes '1' only from '->put_super()', while '->sync_fs()' and '->write_super()' store value '2'. So on the first glance, it looks like we want to have '1' if we unmount. However, this does not really happen in these cases: 1. superblock is written via 'write_super()' then we unmount; 2. we re-mount R/O, then unmount. which are quite typical. I could not find good documentation describing this field, except of one random piece of documentation in the internet which says that -1 means that the root block is valid, which is not consistent with what we have in the Linux AFFS driver. Jan Kara commented on this: "I have some vague recollection that on Amiga boolean was usually encoded as: 0 == false, ~0 == -1 == true. But it has been ages..." Thus, my conclusion is that value of '1' is as good as value of '2' and we can just always use '2'. An Jan Kara suggested to go further: "generally bm_flags handling looks strange. If they are 0, we mount fs read only and thus cannot change them. If they are != 0, we write 2 there. So IMHO if you just removed bm_flags setting, nothing will really happen." So this patch removes the bm_flags setting completely. This makes the "clean" argument of the 'affs_commit_super()' function unneeded, so it is also removed.
