[PATCH] vfs: Don't reject unknown parameters

From: Laura Abbott
Date: Thu Dec 12 2019 - 09:50:52 EST


The new mount API currently rejects unknown parameters if the
filesystem doesn't have doesn't take any arguments. This is
unfortunately a regression from the old API which silently
ignores extra arguments. This is easly seen with the squashfs
conversion (5a2be1288b51 ("vfs: Convert squashfs to use the new
mount API")) which now fails to mount with extra options. Just
get rid of the error.

Fixes: 3e1aeb00e6d1 ("vfs: Implement a filesystem superblock
creation/configuration context")
