Subject: [PATCH 08/12] target: fileio: take freeze protection for unmap
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2026 11:47:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261114-work-fs-frozen_writes-v1-8-f5ae61c898b1@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261114-work-fs-frozen_writes-v1-0-f5ae61c898b1@kernel.org>
UNMAP and WRITE SAME with UNMAP=1 end up in fd_execute_unmap() which
calls ->fallocate() of the backing file directly. That skips the freeze
protection vfs_fallocate() would have taken. So they go straight
through to a filesystem that is frozen, with and without fd_async_io.
With the backing file on ext4:

Take freeze protection around ->fallocate() like vfs_fallocate() does.
