From 6b6dc836a195e077e76977b6c020a73de411b46d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2012 11:03:00 +0100 Subject: 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.
