0636c73ee7 ext3: make barrier options consistent with ext4
ext4 was updated to accept barrier/nobarrier mount options
in addition to the older barrier=0/1.  The barrier story
is complex enough, we should help people by making the options
the same at least, even if the defaults are different.

This patch allows the barrier/nobarrier mount options for ext3,
while keeping nobarrier the default.

It also unconditionally displays barrier status in show_options,
and prints a message at mount time if barriers are not enabled,
just as ext4 does.

dee1d3b627 ext3: make "norecovery" an alias for "noload"
Users on the list recently complained about differences across
filesystems w.r.t. how to mount without a journal replay.

In the discussion it was noted that xfs's "norecovery" option is
perhaps more descriptively accurate than "noload," so let's make
that an alias for ext3.

Also show this status in /proc/mounts

e3375ac767 trivial: document ext3 semantics of 'ro' option a bit better
ext3 has quite unexpected semantics or "ro" and defaults are
not what they are documented to be, due to mkfs override.

0e4fb5e283 ext3: add an option to control error handling on file data
If the journal doesn't abort when it gets an IO error in file data blocks,
the file data corruption will spread silently.  Because most of
applications and commands do buffered writes without fsync(), they don't
notice the IO error.  It's scary for mission critical systems.  On the
other hand, if the journal aborts whenever it gets an IO error in file
data blocks, the system will easily become inoperable.  So this patch
introduces a filesystem option to determine whether it aborts the journal
or just call printk() when it gets an IO error in file data.

If you mount a ext3 fs with data_err=abort option, it aborts on file data
write error.  If you mount it with data_err=ignore, it doesn't abort, just
call printk().  data_err=ignore is the default.

71b9625744 [PATCH] ext3: external journal device as a mount option
The patch below adds a new mount option to allow the external journal
device to be specified.

The syntax is as follows:
# mount -t ext3 -o journal_dev=0x0820 ...
where 0x0820 means major=8 and minor=32.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
