Subject: [BUGFIX] [PATCH] freeze_bdev: don't deactivate successfully frozen MS_RDONLY sb
Date: Fri, 29 Jan 2010 09:56:22 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B623236.90003@ce.jp.nec.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100128182528.GA29926@infradead.org>

Thanks Thomas and Christoph for testing and review.
I removed 'smp_wmb()' before up_write from the previous patch,
since up_write() should have necessary ordering constraints.
(I.e. the change of s_frozen is visible to others after up_write)
I'm quite sure the change is harmless but if you are uncomfortable
with Tested-by/Reviewed-by on the modified patch, please remove them.


If MS_RDONLY, freeze_bdev should just up_write(s_umount) instead of
deactivate_locked_super().
Also, keep sb->s_frozen consistent so that remount can check the frozen state.

Otherwise a crash reported here can happen:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/1/28/53


This patch should be applied for 2.6.32 stable series, too.
