Subject: [RFC 6/6] xfs: replace kthread freezing with auto fs freezing
Date: Wed, 26 Mar 2025 04:22:20 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250326112220.1988619-7-mcgrof@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250326112220.1988619-1-mcgrof@kernel.org>

The kernel power management now supports allowing the VFS
to handle filesystem freezing freezes and thawing. Take advantage
of that and remove the kthread freezing. This is needed so that we
properly really stop IO in flight without races after userspace
has been frozen. Without this we rely on kthread freezing and
its semantics are loose and error prone.

The filesystem therefore is in charge of properly dealing with
quiescing of the filesystem through its callbacks if it thinks
it knows better than how the VFS handles it.

The following Coccinelle rule was used as to remove the now superfluous
freezer calls:

make coccicheck MODE=patch SPFLAGS="--in-place --no-show-diff" COCCI=./fs-freeze-cleanup.cocci M=fs/xfs
