Hi,

nice catch. This is a bug indeed. However I am currently in a process of
changing the ctx_set/clear/test_ helpers because currently it generates
functions that are unused.

While I am at it I can just create a custom ctx_set_mount_flags()
helper that would behave as expected so that we won't have to specify
"1 < EXT4_MF_FS_ABORTED" which is not really obvious and hence error
prone.
Actually, I fixed the first version as follows:

I think 'mask_s_mount_flags' is useless now.

My plan is to send my patch set including this one tomorrow, will that
be fine with you ?

We test remount with 'abort' option as follows:
[root@localhost home]# mount /dev/sda test
[root@localhost home]# mount | grep test
/dev/sda on /home/test type ext4 (rw,relatime)
[root@localhost home]# mount -o remount,abort test
[root@localhost home]# mount | grep test
/dev/sda on /home/test type ext4 (rw,relatime)

Obviously, remount 'abort' option isn't effective.
After 6e47a3cc68fc commit we process abort option with 'ctx_set_mount_flags':
static inline void ctx_set_mount_flags(struct ext4_fs_context *ctx, int flag)
{
ctx->mask_s_mount_flags |= flag;
ctx->vals_s_mount_flags |= flag;
}

But we test 'abort' option with 'ext4_test_mount_flag':
static inline int ext4_test_mount_flag(struct super_block *sb, int bit)
{
return test_bit(bit, &EXT4_SB(sb)->s_mount_flags);
}

To solve this issue, pass (1 << EXT4_MF_FS_ABORTED) to 'ctx_set_mount_flags'.
