From 8e8ad8a57c75f3bda2d03a4c4396a9a7024ad275 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2012 16:20:38 +0200 Subject: ext4: Convert to new freezing mechanism We remove most of frozen checks since upper layer takes care of blocking all writes. We have to handle protection in ext4_page_mkwrite() in a special way because we cannot use generic block_page_mkwrite(). Also we add a freeze protection to ext4_evict_inode() so that iput() of unlinked inode cannot modify a frozen filesystem (we cannot easily instrument ext4_journal_start() / ext4_journal_stop() with freeze protection because we are missing the superblock pointer in ext4_journal_stop() in nojournal mode).
