Darrick J. Wong 27fb5a72f5 xfs: prohibit fs freezing when using empty transactions
I noticed that fsfreeze can take a very long time to freeze an XFS if
there happens to be a GETFSMAP caller running in the background.  I also
happened to notice the following in dmesg:

 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe

These two things appear to be related.  The assertion trips when another
thread initiates a fsmap request (which uses an empty transaction) after
the freezer waited for m_active_trans to hit zero but before the the
freezer executes the WARN_ON just prior to calling xfs_log_quiesce.

The lengthy delays in freezing happen because the freezer calls
xfs_wait_buftarg to clean out the buffer lru list.  Meanwhile, the
GETFSMAP caller is continuing to grab and release buffers, which means
that it can take a very long time for the buffer lru list to empty out.

We fix both of these races by calling sb_start_write to obtain freeze
protection while using empty transactions for GETFSMAP and for metadata
scrubbing.  The other two users occur during mount, during which time we
cannot fs freeze.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
