           Summary: xfs filesystem exported via nfs don't work in 2.6.27.3
           Product: File System
           Version: 2.5
     KernelVersion: 2.6.27.3
          Platform: All

         Component: XFS
        AssignedTo: xfs-masters@xxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: francois.valenduc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx


Latest working kernel version: 2.6.27.2
Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.27.3
Distribution: Gentoo

Problem Description:

With kernel 2.6.27.3, it's impossible to use a xfs filesystem  exported via
NFS. I am using gentoo and I share a portage tree mounted on an xfs 
filesystem
via NFS. Each time packages are fetched, the emerge process is blocked. It
seems the problematic commit is the following:

    xfs: fix remount rw with unrecognized options

    commit 6c5e51dae2c37127e00be392f40842e08077e96a upstream

    When we skip unrecognized options in xfs_fs_remount we should just 
break
    out of the switch and not return because otherwise we may skip clearing
    the xfs-internal read-only flag.  This will only show up on some
    operations like touch because most read-only checks are done by the VFS
    which thinks this filesystem is r/w.  Eventually we should replace the
    XFS read-only flag with a helper that always checks the VFS flag to 
make
    sure they can never get out of sync.

    Bug reported and fix verified by Marcel Beister on #xfs.
    Bug fix verified by updated xfstests/189.

If I revert it, the problem doesn't occur.
