Eww... All it takes is
struct super_block *get_super_thawed(struct block_device *bdev)
{
while (1) {
struct super_block *s = get_super(bdev);
if (!s || s->s_frozen == SB_UNFROZEN)
return s;
up_read(&s->s_umount);
vfs_check_frozen(s, SB_FREEZE_WRITE);
put_super(s);
}
}
and there's no need of extra arguments, etc. whatsoever. Both patches
applied, with implementation of get_super_thawed() done as above.
