The attr2 feature is somewhat unique in that it has both a superblock
feature bit to enable it and mount options to enable and disable it.
Back when it was first introduced in 2005, attr2 was disabled unless
either the attr2 superblock feature bit was set, or the attr2 mount
option was set. If the superblock feature bit was not set but the
mount option was set, then when the first attr2 format inode fork
was created, it would set the superblock feature bit. This is as it
should be - the superblock feature bit indicated the presence of the
attr2 on disk format.
The noattr2 mount option, however, did not affect the superblock
feature bit. If noattr2 was specified, the on-disk superblock
feature bit was ignored and the code always just created attr1
format inode forks. If neither of the attr2 or noattr2 mounts
option were specified, then the behaviour was determined by the
superblock feature bit.
This was all pretty sane.
Fast foward 3 years, and we are dealing with fallout from the
botched sb_features2 addition and having to deal with feature
mismatches between the sb_features2 and sb_bad_features2 fields. The
attr2 feature bit was one of these flags. The reconciliation was
done well after mount option parsing and, unfortunately, the feature
reconciliation had a bug where it ignored the noattr2 mount option.
For reasons lost to the mists of time, it was decided that resolving

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
