Eric Sandeen 757a69ef6c xfs: write unmount record for ro mounts
There are dueling comments in the xfs code about intent
for log writes when unmounting a readonly filesystem.

In xfs_mountfs, we see the intent:

/*
 * Now the log is fully replayed, we can transition to full read-only
 * mode for read-only mounts. This will sync all the metadata and clean
 * the log so that the recovery we just performed does not have to be
 * replayed again on the next mount.
 */

and it calls xfs_quiesce_attr(), but by the time we get to
xfs_log_unmount_write(), it returns early for a RDONLY mount:

 * Don't write out unmount record on read-only mounts.

Because of this, sequential ro mounts of a filesystem with
a dirty log will replay the log each time, which seems odd.

Fix this by writing an unmount record even for RO mounts, as long
as norecovery wasn't specified (don't write a clean log record
if a dirty log may still be there!) and the log device is
writable.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
