[PATCH 1/6] fs: unify locking semantics for fs freeze / thaw

Luis Chamberlain mcgrof at kernel.org
Sun May 7 18:17:12 PDT 2023


Right now freeze_super()  and thaw_super() are called with
different locking contexts. To expand on this is messy, so
just unify the requirement to require grabbing an active
reference and keep the superblock locked.
