Hi all, This series modifies the log quiesce code path to cover the log instead of mark it clean and separates the latter into a distinct step. This allows existing users to determine whether to quiesce (i.e. cover) or clean the log depending on the operation, and thus avoids the need for contexts like freeze to have to redirty the log after a quiesce. By covering the log on quiesce, we can also fold final superblock updates (i.e., lazy superblock counters) into the quiesce sequence because covering uses the same superblock transaction as the explicit superblock updates. This same approach can accommodate (probably with some additional tweaks) future final superblock updates, such as for log feature compatibility bit management when the log is cleared of incompatible items. Patch 1 is a repost of a lazy sb accounting bug fix that was previously sent (included here as a dependency). Patches 2-3 make some preliminary cleanups. Patch 4 injects log covering into the log quiesce sequence. Patches 5-6 fold the existing lazy superblock accounting update into quiesce. Patches 7-8 make some final refactoring cleanups (these two patches could probably be squashed now that I look at them again). Finally, patch 9 updates fs freeze to cover the log instead of cleaning and redirtying it. Thoughts, reviews, flames appreciated.
