    ext4: avoid panic during forced reboot · 1dc1097f
    Jan Kara authored
    When admin calls "reboot -f" - i.e., does a hard system reboot by
    directly calling reboot(2) - ext4 filesystem mounted with errors=panic
    can panic the system. This happens because the underlying device gets
    disabled without unmounting the filesystem and thus some syscall running
    in parallel to reboot(2) can result in the filesystem getting IO errors.
    
    This is somewhat surprising to the users so try improve the behavior by
    switching to errors=remount-ro behavior when the system is running
    reboot(2).
