Subject: [PATCH 07/12] zloop: take freeze protection when recording write pointers
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2026 11:47:14 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261114-work-fs-frozen_writes-v1-7-f5ae61c898b1@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261114-work-fs-frozen_writes-v1-0-f5ae61c898b1@kernel.org>
With discard_write_cache a flush records the write pointer of each
active zone in an xattr of its zone file. zloop_record_safe_wps() uses
vfs_setxattr() for that which leaves freeze protection to the caller.
So a flush rewrites the xattrs on a filesystem that is frozen. With the
zone files on ext4:

</TASK>
Take freeze protection around vfs_setxattr() with mnt_want_write_file()
like fsetxattr() does.
