Unfortunately I see this a lot with f2fs. Please reach out to all relevant maintainers for something that does not look strictly local to f2fs. > Signed-off-by: Daeho Jeong > --- > v2: check freezing() together for non-PM freezing. > --- > fs/f2fs/f2fs.h | 9 +++++++++ > fs/f2fs/gc.c | 13 ++++++++----- > fs/f2fs/segment.c | 12 ++++++++---- > fs/f2fs/super.c | 25 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ > 4 files changed, 50 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/fs/f2fs/f2fs.h b/fs/f2fs/f2fs.h > index f1774d4e18d2..2a7b0fe8419b 100644 > --- a/fs/f2fs/f2fs.h > +++ b/fs/f2fs/f2fs.h > @@ -25,6 +25,7 @@ > #include > #include > #include > +#include > > #include > #include > @@ -1492,6 +1493,7 @@ enum { > SBI_IS_FREEZING, /* freezefs is in process */ > SBI_IS_WRITABLE, /* remove ro mountoption transiently */ > SBI_ENABLE_CHECKPOINT, /* indicate it's during f2fs_enable_checkpoint() */ > + SBI_IS_SUSPENDING, /* system suspend is in progress */ > MAX_SBI_FLAG, > };
