From 42bbdb289122169ec6d4f2a4bec848491c4408a7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kazuya Mio Date: Thu, 1 Dec 2011 16:51:07 +0900 Subject: wake up s_wait_unfrozen when ->freeze_fs fails commit e1616300a20c80396109c1cf013ba9a36055a3da upstream. dd slept infinitely when fsfeeze failed because of EIO. To fix this problem, if ->freeze_fs fails, freeze_super() wakes up the tasks waiting for the filesystem to become unfrozen. When s_frozen isn't SB_UNFROZEN in __generic_file_aio_write(), the function sleeps until FITHAW ioctl wakes up s_wait_unfrozen. However, if ->freeze_fs fails, s_frozen is set to SB_UNFROZEN and then freeze_super() returns an error number. In this case, FITHAW ioctl returns EINVAL because s_frozen is already SB_UNFROZEN. There is no way to wake up s_wait_unfrozen, so __generic_file_aio_write() sleeps infinitely.
