This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled gfs2: report "already frozen/thawed" errors to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: gfs2-report-already-frozen-thawed-errors.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b037aeb2689ab40c5b592ca4990859af216448b7 Author: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Mar 25 08:51:13 2021 -0400 gfs2: report "already frozen/thawed" errors [ Upstream commit ff132c5f93c06bd4432bbab5c369e468653bdec4 ] Before this patch, gfs2's freeze function failed to report an error when the target file system was already frozen as it should (and as generic vfs function freeze_super does. Similarly, gfs2's thaw function failed to report an error when trying to thaw a file system that is not frozen, as vfs function thaw_super does. The errors were checked, but it always returned a 0 return code. This patch adds the missing error return codes to gfs2 freeze and thaw.
