Subject: [PATCH] update sb->s_frozen when freezing read-only mounted device, too
Date: Sat, 29 Sep 2007 19:09:12 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070929100912.GB4121@APFDCB5C> (raw)

freeze_bdev() with the device which is mounted as read only
does not change sb->s_frozen from SB_UNFROZEN to SB_FREEZE_TRANS.

Because of this behavior, xfs_freeze can break read-only XFS filesystem.

Because xfs_thaw does nothing for the filesystem whose sb->s_frozen is
SB_UNFROZEN. So freezed readonly XFS filesystem will never be unfreezed.
Then we cannot do any unmount/remount operations for that filesystem.

This patch updates sb->s_frozen when freeze_bdev() is called for read-only
mounted device, too.
