From 7a249cf83da1813cfa71cfe1e265b40045eceb47 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Fri, 8 Jul 2011 14:34:42 +0200 Subject: xfs: fix filesystsem freeze race in xfs_trans_alloc As pointed out by Jan xfs_trans_alloc can race with a concurrent filesystem freeze when it sleeps during the memory allocation. Fix this by moving the wait_for_freeze call after the memory allocation. This means moving the freeze into the low-level _xfs_trans_alloc helper, which thus grows a new argument. Also fix up some comments in that area while at it.
