ext4: don't return to userspace after freezing the fs with a mutex held
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
ext4_freeze() used jbd2_journal_lock_updates() which takes
the j_barrier mutex, and then returns to userspace.  The
kernel does not like this:

================================================
[ BUG: lock held when returning to user space! ]
------------------------------------------------
lvcreate/1075 is leaving the kernel with locks still held!
1 lock held by lvcreate/1075:
 #0:  (&journal->j_barrier){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff811c6214>]
jbd2_journal_lock_updates+0xe1/0xf0

Use vfs_check_frozen() added to ext4_journal_start_sb() and
ext4_force_commit() instead.
