I did some small unit testing to observe the behavior. Below logs are *with your patch applied* for nolazytime e.g. which you referred above. But without your patch, as you mentioned nolazytime was not taking into effect. mount 8635 [007] 5477.595642: probe:ext4_remount: (ffffffff813bd270) s_flags=0x72810000 flags=0x0 data_string="i_version" mount 8635 [007] 5477.595672: probe:ext4_remount_L55: (ffffffff813bd3d1) s_flags=0x70010000 flags=0x0 data_string="i_version" mount 8635 [007] 5477.595758: probe:ext4_remount_L217: (ffffffff813bd787) s_flags=0x70810000 flags=0x0 mount 8635 [007] 5477.595772: probe:ext4_remount_L246: (ffffffff813bd820) s_flags=0x70810000 flags=0x800000 Please feel free to add.
