Re: [PATCH 2/3] Implement generic freeze feature

Hi,

-void thaw_bdev(struct block_device *bdev, struct super_block *sb)
+int thaw_bdev(struct block_device *bdev, struct super_block *sb)
 {
+ int error = 0;
+
+ mutex_lock(&bdev->bd_fsfreeze_mutex);
+ if (!bdev->bd_fsfreeze_count) {
+ mutex_unlock(&bdev->bd_fsfreeze_mutex);
+ return -EINVAL;

This would be a programming error, yes?

This is not a kernel programming error but a user's.
thaw_bdev() is called via the unfreeze ioctl.  If a user calls the unfreeze
ioctl for an unfrozen filesystem, this error will be returned.
So a WARN_ON isn't needed.

If so, a WARN_ON is more appropriate than a silent runtime error.

+ }

Cheers, Takashi
