The freezing process is already protected by bd_mount_sem, so I don't
think there's need for another one.

I think the protection against double freezes would be better done by
using a trylock on bd_mount_sem.
bd_mount_sem can protect against only freezes and cannot protect against
unfreezes. If multiple unfreezes run in parallel, the multiple up() for
bd_mount_sem might occur incorrectly.
In fact after that it could be changed
from a semaphore to a simple test_and_set_bit.
I will consider using test_and_set_bit.
error = -ENOTTY;

This would be better to split intot a small helper ala ioctl_fibmap()

Same here.
OK. I will split small helper functions.
Cheers, Takashi
