Um, I think the addition of vfs_check_frozen(), esp. to ext4_journal_start_sb() is absolutely necessary. What else do we have to prevent filesystem modifications from going to the file systme layer? I didn't see anything in the VFS layer that checks s_frozen; am I missing something? - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
