ext4: don't update sb journal_devnum when RO dev
An ext4 filesystem on a read-only device, with an external journal which is at a different device number then recorded in the superblock will fail to honor the read-only setting of the device and trigger a superblock update (write). For example: - ext4 on a software raid which is in read-only mode - external journal on a read-write device which has changed device num - attempt to mount with -o journal_dev=<new_number> - hits BUG_ON(mddev->ro = 1) in md.c Cc: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Maciej Żenczykowski <zenczykowski@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
