Hi. I have a suggestion while I read ext2 code in recent Linux. mark_files_ro() function in fs/super.c turns off FMODE_WRITE of every file in a super block for the case of remounting. However, an inode whose file's mode is FMODE_WRITE may hold reservations. I think these reservations lost their chance to be discarded since FMODE_WRITE is off. So, I think ext2_release_file rather check EXT2_I(inode)->i_block_alloc_info->rsv_window_node. Could you check my suggestion is valid or not please?
