[PATCH 3.16 046/366] ext4: do not update s_last_mounted of a frozen fs

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sun Nov 11 2018 - 15:07:21 EST


3.16.61-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@xxxxxxxxx>

commit db6516a5e7ddb6dc72d167b920f2f272596ea22d upstream.

If fs is frozen after mount and before the first file open, the
update of s_last_mounted bypasses freeze protection and prints out
a WARNING splat:

$ mount /vdf
$ fsfreeze -f /vdf
$ cat /vdf/foo

[ 31.578555] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1415 at
fs/ext4/ext4_jbd2.c:53 ext4_journal_check_start+0x48/0x82

[ 31.614016] Call Trace:
[ 31.614997] __ext4_journal_start_sb+0xe4/0x1a4
[ 31.616771] ? ext4_file_open+0xb6/0x189
[ 31.618094] ext4_file_open+0xb6/0x189

If fs is frozen, skip s_last_mounted update.

[backport hint: to apply to stable tree, need to apply also patches
vfs: add the sb_start_intwrite_trylock() helper
ext4: factor out helper ext4_sample_last_mounted()]
