Functions gfs2_freeze_super() and gfs2_thaw_super() are using the
SDF_FROZEN flag to indicate when the filesystem is frozen, synchronized
by sd_freeze_mutex. However, this doesn't prevent writes from happening
between the point of calling thaw_super() and the point where the
SDF_FROZEN flag is cleared, so the following assert can trigger in
log_write_header():
gfs2_assert_withdraw(sdp, !test_bit(SDF_FROZEN, &sdp->sd_flags));
Fix that by checking for sb->s_writers.frozen != SB_FREEZE_COMPLETE in
log_write_header() instead. To make sure that the filesystem-specific
part of freezing happens before sb->s_writers.frozen is set to
SB_FREEZE_COMPLETE, move that code from gfs2_freeze_locally() into
gfs2_freeze_fs() and hook that up to the .freeze_fs operation.

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.
