[PATCH 5/9] vfs: allow mnt_want_write() to sleep

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

 



From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx>

Allow mnt_want_write() to sleep.

This is necessary to enable holding off write requests for the
duration of ->remount_fs(), which may sleep.

A quick audit didn't turn up any callers from atomic context.
