So the system isn't really deadlocked. It's just that fsfreeze command hangs, isn't it? OK, I understand that it's kind of incovenient situation because every command will hang like this when the filesystem is frozen. Now I only have to come up with a way to improve this... It isn't quite simple - to properly protect against freezing be have to communicate down into generic_file_aio_write() that we want to bail out if filesystem is frozen instead of waiting.
