[PATCH 0/7] Implement freeze and thaw as holder operations

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hey Christoph,
Hey Jan,

This implements block device freezing and thawing as holder operations.

Not just does this allow to simplify the current implementation by
removing a few locks and members in struct block_device and getting rid
of a few helpers in the superblock code, it also allows us to implement
block device freezing for multiple devices and not just the main block
device.

This will also allow us to fix block device freezing and thawing for
btrfs which is broken right now but that's just a nice side-effect.

Thanks!
Christian
