Subject: vfs: Provide function to get superblock and wait for it to thaw
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6b6dc836a195e077e76977b6c020a73de411b46d;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

vfs: Provide function to get superblock and wait for it to thaw

In quota code we need to find a superblock corresponding to a device and wait
for superblock to be unfrozen. However this waiting has to happen without
s_umount semaphore because that is required for superblock to thaw. So provide
a function in VFS for this to keep dances with s_umount where they belong.

[AV: implementation switched to saner variant]
