    Partially revert "block: fail op_is_write() requests to read-only partitions" · a32e236e
    Linus Torvalds 提交于
    It turns out that commit 721c7fc7 ("block: fail op_is_write()
    requests to read-only partitions"), while obviously correct, causes
    problems for some older lvm2 installations.
    
    The reason is that the lvm snapshotting will continue to write to the
    snapshow COW volume, even after the volume has been marked read-only.
    End result: snapshot failure.
    
    This has actually been fixed in newer version of the lvm2 tool, but the
    old tools still exist, and the breakage was reported both in the kernel
    bugzilla and in the Debian bugzilla:
    
      https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200439
      https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=900442
    
    The lvm2 fix is here
    
      https://sourceware.org/git/?p=lvm2.git;a=commit;h=a6fdb9d9d70f51c49ad11a87ab4243344e6701a3
    
    but until everybody has updated to recent versions, we'll have to weaken
    the "never write to read-only partitions" check.  It now allows the
    write to happen, but causes a warning, something like this:

    Note that this is a "revert" in behavior only.  I'm leaving alone the
    actual code cleanups in commit 721c7fc7, but letting the previously
    uncaught request go through with a warning instead of stopping it.
