Hello.
There was a problem in remount(). After the remount invalidate_inodes() was
called. This might cause loosage of some data as some process might write something
while we were waiting in lock_super() and in foo_remount_fs(). I discussed this
problem with Andrea and we agreed that invalidate_inodes() after remount currently
isn't necessary and so the patch removes the call.
BTW: I think we have another problem that for example when remounting ro nothing
prevents processes from opening files for writing after fs_may_remount_ro() was
called and before proper flags were set...
