Re: [PATCH 0/3] freeze feature ver 1.14

[Eric Sandeen <sandeen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

In lieu of the timeout feature which was originally proposed, how
about access to an emergency un-freeze via magic sysrq, maybe
piggy-backed on emergency sync... something like this (not
tested or even built yet...), would this be a good compromise to
help save people from frozen roots?
