As part of startup, the MMP initialization code does this:
mmp->mmp_seq = seq = cpu_to_le32(mmp_new_seq());
Next, mmp->mmp_seq is written out to disk, a delay happens, and then
the MMP block is read back in and the sequence value is tested:
if (seq != le32_to_cpu(mmp->mmp_seq)) {
/* fail the mount */
On a LE system such as x86, the *le32* functions do nothing and this
works. Unfortunately, on a BE system such as ppc64, this comparison
becomes:
if (cpu_to_le32(new_seq) != le32_to_cpu(cpu_to_le32(new_seq)) {
/* fail the mount */
Except for a few palindromic sequence numbers, this test always causes
the mount to fail, which makes MMP filesystems generally unmountable
on ppc64. The attached patch fixes this situation.

Current logic would print an error message only once, and then
'failed_writes' would stay at 1. Rework the loop to increment
'failed_writes' and print the error message every
s_mmp_update_interval * 60 seconds, as intended according to the
comment.

sysname holds "Linux" by default, i.e. what appears when doing a "uname
-s"; nodename should be used to print the machine's hostname, i.e. what
is returned when doing a "uname -n" or "hostname", and what
gethostname(2)/sethostname(2) manipulate, in order to notify the
administrator of the node which is contending to mount the filesystem.

Prevent an ext4 filesystem from being mounted multiple times.
A sequence number is stored on disk and is periodically updated (every 5
seconds by default) by a mounted filesystem.
At mount time, we now wait for s_mmp_update_interval seconds to make sure
that the MMP sequence does not change.
In case of failure, the nodename, bdevname and the time at which the MMP
block was last updated is displayed.
