Subject: [PATCH v2] block: make bdev_freeze() mutex waits killable
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 20:35:29 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111123530.871952-1-diasyzhangqing@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110132118.11265-1-diasyzhangqing@gmail.com>
From: Qing Zhang <diasyzhang@tencent.com>
Concurrent bdev_freeze() callers may wait a long time on
bd_fsfreeze_mutex while another caller freezes and syncs the filesystem.
Use mutex_lock_killable() to allow fatal signals to interrupt this wait.
An interrupted wait returns -EINTR before bd_fsfreeze_count is
incremented, so no freeze reference needs to be dropped. This does not
make the filesystem freeze operation itself killable.

Changes since v1:
- per Jan's suggestion, move the killable wait from a new ext4
per-superblock mutex into bdev_freeze() itself.
