The kernel's NFS client mount option parser currently doesn't allow unrecognized or incorrect mount options. This prevents misspellings or incorrectly specified mount options from possibly causing silent data corruption. However, NFS mount options are not standardized, so different operating systems can use differently spelled mount options to support similar features, or can support mount options which no other operating system supports. "Sloppy" mount option parsing, which allows the parser to ignore any option it doesn't recognize, is needed to support automounters that often use maps that are shared between heterogenous operating systems. The legacy mount command ignores the validity of the values of mount options entirely, except for the "sec=" and "proto=" options. If an incorrect value is specified, the out-of-range value is passed to the kernel; if a value is specified that contains non-numeric characters, it appears as though the legacy mount command sets that option to zero (probably incorrect behavior in general). In any case, this sets a precedent which we will partially follow for the kernel mount option parser: + if "sloppy" is not set, the parser will be strict about both unrecognized options (same as legacy) and invalid option values (stricter than legacy) + if "sloppy" is set, the parser will ignore unrecognized options and invalid option values (same as legacy) An "invalid" option value in this case means that either the type (integer, short, or string) or sign (for integer values) of the specified value is incorrect. This patch does two things: it changes the NFS client's mount option parsing loop so that it parses the whole string instead of failing at the first unrecognized option or invalid option value. An unrecognized option or an invalid option value cause the option to be skipped. Then, the patch adds a "sloppy" mount option that allows the parsing to succeed anyway if there were any problems during parsing. When parsing a set of options is complete, if there are errors and "sloppy" was specified, return success anyway. Otherwise, only return success if there are no errors.
