Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y] gfs2: fix freeze error handling
Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2025 17:33:32 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251229223332.1744624-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2025122906-preshow-nearest-b359@gregkh>

From: Alexey Velichayshiy <a.velichayshiy@ispras.ru>

[ Upstream commit 4cfc7d5a4a01d2133b278cdbb1371fba1b419174 ]

After commit b77b4a4815a9 ("gfs2: Rework freeze / thaw logic"),
the freeze error handling is broken because gfs2_do_thaw()
overwrites the 'error' variable, causing incorrect processing
of the original freeze error.

Fix this by calling gfs2_do_thaw() when gfs2_lock_fs_check_clean()
fails but ignoring its return value to preserve the original
freeze error for proper reporting.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Fixes: b77b4a4815a9 ("gfs2: Rework freeze / thaw logic")
