+ bool "Allow writing to mounted block devices"
+ default y
+ help
+ When a block device is mounted, writing to its buffer cache is very
+ likely going to cause filesystem corruption. It is also rather easy to
+ crash the kernel in this way since the filesystem has no practical way
+ of detecting these writes to buffer cache and verifying its metadata
+ integrity. However there are some setups that need this capability
+ like running fsck on read-only mounted root device, modifying some
+ features on mounted ext4 filesystem, and similar. If you say N, the
+ kernel will prevent processes from writing to block devices that are
+ mounted by filesystems which provides some more protection from runaway
+ privileged processes and generally makes it much harder to crash
+ filesystem drivers. Note however that this does not prevent
+ underlying device(s) from being modified by other means, e.g. by
+ directly submitting SCSI commands or through access to lower layers of
+ storage stack. If in doubt, say Y. The configuration can be overridden
+ with the bdev_allow_write_mounted boot option.
