Hello, in last month or two I've been working on making filesystem freezing work reliably (avoid dirty data on frozen filesystem, avoid all sorts of deadlocks, etc.). This effort seems to be slowly comming to an end so I can be giving a heads up to filesystem developers about current state: what happens in VFS, what filesystems may need to do, what they need not do. Also I'd like to hear back if some filesystem has problem with the new design or other feedback.
