[PATCH v2] fs: record task name which froze superblock

From: Alexey Dobriyan
Date: Wed Feb 18 2015 - 02:37:09 EST


Freezing and thawing are separate system calls, task which is supposed
to thaw filesystem/superblock can disappear due to crash or not thaw
due to a bug. Record at least task name (we can't take task_struct
reference) to make support engineer's life easier.

Hopefully 16 bytes per superblock isn't much.
