[PATCH] vfs: Handle file systems without ->parse_params better

From: Laura Abbott
Date: Thu Dec 12 2019 - 16:36:12 EST


The new mount API relies on file systems to provide a ->parse_params
function to handle parsing of arguments. If a file system doesn't
have a ->parse_param function, it falls back to parsing the source
option and rejecting all other options. This is a change in behavior
for some file systems which would just quietly ignore extra options
and mount successfully. This was noticed by users as squashfs failing
to mount with extra options after the conversion to the new mount
API.

File systems with a ->parse_params function rely on the top level
to parse the "source" param so we can't easily move that around. To
get around this, introduce a default parsing functions for file
systems that take no arguments. This parses only the "source" option
and only logs an error for other arguments. Update the comment
to reflect this expected behavior for "source" parsing as well.

creation/configuration context")

I cleaned up my original suggestion a bit as I realized things would
be easier if we just made this a default option if there's no parsing.
Lightly tested only.
