[RFC v3 11/24] gfs2: replace kthread freezing with auto fs freezing

From: Luis Chamberlain
Date: Fri Jan 13 2023 - 19:36:32 EST


The kernel power management now supports allowing the VFS
to handle filesystem freezing freezes and thawing. Take advantage
of that and remove the kthread freezing. This is needed so that we
properly really stop IO in flight without races after userspace
has been frozen. Without this we rely on kthread freezing and
its semantics are loose and error prone.

The filesystem therefore is in charge of properly dealing with
quiescing of the filesystem through its callbacks if it thinks
it knows better than how the VFS handles it.

The following Coccinelle rule was used as to remove the now superflous
freezer calls:

spatch --sp-file fs-freeze-cleanup.cocci --in-place --timeout 120 --dir fs/gfs2 --jobs 12 --use-gitgrep
