So, it is safe to not\nset SB_RDONLY flag, let's remove the logic and keep in line w/ ext4 [3].\n\n[1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240729-himbeeren-funknetz-96e62f9c7aee@brauner\n[2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240729132721.hxih6ehigadqf7wx@quack3\n[3] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-ext4/20240805201241.27286-1-jack@suse.cz","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.3},"cwes":["CWE-362"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1f63f405c1a1a64b9c310388aad7055fb86b245c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/649ec8b30df113042588bd3d3cd4e98bcb1091e0","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/930c6ab93492c4b15436524e704950b364b2930c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/de43021c72993877a8f86f9fddfa0687609da5a4"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:56:33.105311382+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-47689","score":0.00622,"percentile":0.49851,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
