[PATCH] debugfs: ignore auto and noauto options if given

From: Wolfram Sang
Date: Wed May 22 2024 - 04:39:21 EST


The 'noauto' and 'auto' options were missed when migrating to the new
mount API. As a result, users with these in their fstab mount options
are now unable to mount debugfs filesystems, as they'll receive an
"Unknown parameter" error.

This restores the old behaviour of ignoring noauto and auto if they're
given.

With current top-of-tree, debugfs remained empty on my boards triggering
the message "debugfs: Unknown parameter 'auto'". I applied a similar fix
which CIFS got and largely reused the commit message from 19d51588125f
("cifs: ignore auto and noauto options if given").

Given the comment in debugfs_parse_param(), I am not sure if this patch
is a complete fix or if there are more options to be ignored. This patch
makes it work for me(tm), however.

>From my light research, tracefs (which was converted to new mount API
together with debugfs) doesn't need the same fixing. But I am not
super-sure about that.

Looking forward to comments.
