[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH v2] ocfs2: return -EROFS to mount.ocfs2 if inode block is invalid

[piaojun]

If metadata is corrupted such as 'invalid inode block', we will get
failed by calling 'mount()' and then set filesystem readonly as below:

ocfs2_mount
  ocfs2_initialize_super
    ocfs2_init_global_system_inodes
      ocfs2_iget
        ocfs2_read_locked_inode
          ocfs2_validate_inode_block
            ocfs2_error
              ocfs2_handle_error
                ocfs2_set_ro_flag(osb, 0);  // set readonly

In this situation we need return -EROFS to 'mount.ocfs2', so that user
can fix it by fsck and mount again rather than doing meaningless retry.
In addition, 'mount.ocfs2' should be updated correspondingly as it only
return 1 for all errno. And I will post a patch for 'mount.ocfs2' too.
