Very close. :)
You've got the structure right, but missed one more thing: the
options are still cut'n'paste from _scratch_mount_options, and so
should be /factored/ into a common function...
_scratch_options is only useful to XFS to set external log/realtime
devices, and we don't want to do that for the dmerror device.
Everthing else is almost the same as _scratch_mount_options(),
however. So:
# Used for mounting non-scratch devices (e.g. loop, dm constructs)
# with the safe set of scratch mount options (e.g. loop image may be
# hosted on $SCRATCH_DEV, so can't use external scratch devices).
_common_dev_mount_options()
{
echo $MOUNT_OPTIONS $SELINUX_MOUNT_OPTIONS $*
}
_scratch_mount_options()
{
_scratch_options mount
echo `_common_dev_mount_options $*` $SCRATCH_OPTIONS \
$SCRATCH_DEV $SCRATCH_MNT
}
_dmerror_mount_options()
{
echo `_common_dev_mount_options $*` $DMERROR_DEV $SCRATCH_MNT
}
And to demonstrate why factoring like this is useful, this can also
be applied to _mount_flakey(), and we could also replace most of the
open-coded loop device mounts with a generic "mount device" function
like:
_mount_dev()
{
_mount `_common_dev_mount_options $*`
}
and call it like:
_mount_dev $LOOP_DEV $MNT_POINT
or even
_mount_dev -o loop $MNT_POINT
We can then take it further: if we have a _mount_dev() wrapper we
can factor _common_dev_mount_options() from all the
_*_mount_options() functions. i.e:
_scratch_mount_options()
{
_scratch_options mount
echo $SCRATCH_OPTIONS $SCRATCH_DEV $SCRATCH_MNT
}
_scratch_mount()
{
_mount_dev $* `_scratch_mount_options`
}
The result is we end up with a much cleaner set of mount functions
that are more generic, more extensible and easier to use, as well as
being more maintainable....

Ok, I'll try to be more clear in future.
Cheers,
Dave.
