This breaks the "feature" that we can freeze a block device that doesn't have a filesystem mounted yet. For filesystems using get_sb_bdev that prevents a new filesystem to be mounted on them. I'm not sure it's a particularly useful feature, but it's been there since day 1 of the freeze support. The easiest way to not break it would be to keep the per-sb freeze count only for that case and only check it during mount. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
