      NFS: Restore missing hunk in NFS mount option parser · af904dea
      Chuck Lever authored
      Automounter maps can contain mount options valid for other NFS
      implementations but not for Linux.  The Linux automounter uses the
      mount command's "-s" command line option ("s" for "sloppy") so that
      mount requests containing such options are not rejected.
      
      Commit f45663ce attempted to address a
      known regression with text-based NFS mount option parsing.  Unrecognized
      mount options would cause mount requests to fail, even if the "-s"
      option was used on the mount command line.
      
      Unfortunately, this commit was not complete as submitted.  It adds a
      new mount option, "sloppy".  But it is missing a hunk, so it now allows
      NFS mounts with unrecognized mount options, even if the "sloppy" option
      is not present.  This could be a problem if a required critical mount
      option such as "sync" is misspelled, for example, and is considered a
      regression from 2.6.26.
      
      This patch restores the missing hunk.  Now, the default behavior of
      text-based NFS mount options is as before: any unrecognized mount option
      will cause the mount to fail.
      
      Please include this in 2.6.27-rc.
      
      Thanks to Neil Brown for reporting this.
