Sorry for late reply.

You do not need my help, I know nothing about fs ;)  but just in case...

Did you see the patch from Hillf ?
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240727011616.2144-1-hdanton@sina.com/
it seems to fix the problem...

Of course I don't understand this patch, but afaics SB_RDONLY can confuse
thaw_super_locked(). If sb_rdonly() is true, thaw_super_locked() assumes
that freeze_super() didn't call sb_wait_write() -> percpu_down_write().

So in this case thaw_super_locked() just clears sb->s_writers.frozen and
goes to the "out_deactivate" label bypassing sb_freeze_unlock().

Oleg.
