[PATCH 1/2] ext4: fix handling of nodelalloc parameter

From: Piotr Sarna
Date: Fri Aug 02 2013 - 08:05:25 EST


Commit 26092bf ("ext4: use a table-driven handler for mount options")
introduced buggy handling of nodelalloc parameter in mount command.

After explicitly using delalloc or nodelalloc parameter in mount command,
MOPT_EXPLICIT flag is set. After that, a test ensures that "data=journal"
and "delalloc" parameters are not simultaneously activated.
Unluckily, the mentioned test reports a bug in both situations:
- "data=journal,delalloc"
- "data=journal,nodelalloc"
whereas the second one is perfectly legal and acceptable.

A simple solution to this problem is in setting EXPLICIT_DELALLOC flag
properly. This patch ensures that EXPLICIT_DELALLOC flag is set only
if "delalloc" parameter was used, and not set in case of "nodelalloc".
