Hi,
When I checked the freeze feature for ext4 filesystem using fsfreeze command
at 2.6.38-rc3, I got the following messeges:
---------------------------------------------------------------------

I think the following deadlock problem happened:
[flush-8:0:1409] | [fsfreeze:2104]
--------------------------------------------+--------------------------------
writeback_inodes_wb |
pin_sb_for_writeback |
down_read_trylock(&sb->s_umount) |
writeback_sb_inodes |thaw_super
writeback_single_inode | down_write(&sb->s_umount)
do_writepages | # stop until flush-8:0 releases
ext4_da_writepages | # read lock of sb->s_umount...
ext4_journal_start_sb |
vfs_check_frozen |
wait_event((sb)->s_wait_unfrozen, |
((sb)->s_frozen < (level))) |
# stop until being waked up by |
# fsfreeze... |
--------------------------------------------+--------------------------------
Could anyone check this problem?
Thanks,
Masayoshi Mizuma
