Hi Christian,
this is for ext4 mount options usrjquota and grpjquota that will treat
empty parameter, that is "grpjquota=" and "usrjquota=", as a means to
disable those. I agree that it's not ideal, but if I don't want to break
compatibilily when converting ext4 to this new mount API I have to keep
that option the way it is.
I share your concern, but for the string to be empty, the
fs_param_can_be_empty flag must be used intentionaly and so the code
handling this must expect the string to be empty in some cases.
Another option would be to use a flag parameter with the name including
the egual sign. Not sure if that's currently possible. But that would
require us to use separtate parameter and it feels even more clunky to
me especially since we can easly detect empty string instead.
Thanks!
