Subject: [PATCH 02/12] zloop: take freeze protection for writes
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2026 11:47:09 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261114-work-fs-frozen_writes-v1-2-f5ae61c898b1@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261114-work-fs-frozen_writes-v1-0-f5ae61c898b1@kernel.org>
zloop calls ->write_iter() of the zone files without taking freeze
protection. So a write to a zloop device goes through to a filesystem
that is frozen. With the zone files on ext4:

</TASK>
Take freeze protection around the write like loop does. A write that
wasn't queued drops it right away. A write that was queued drops it in
the completion callback.
Note that zloop_rw() also called the completion callback for I/O that
wasn't queued or that failed before it was submitted. It completes
these itself now so the callback only ever sees queued I/O.
Fixes: eb0570c7df23 ("block: new zoned loop block device driver")
