Hum, is the lock needed at all? Remount & unfreeze both run with s_umount
held for writing. Thus we already have exclusion between these two calls.
The same seems to hold for ext4 BTW.

Agreed, it's not clear lock_super() is needed at all for ext4 at this
point.

Great. I'll remove the calls for ext3/ext4 when I'll submit the second
version of the patch.

Thanks for your feedback,

FYI, I have the following patch my ext4 tree, so I could do more
intensive testing. I'll let folks know if anything goes horribly
wrong, but I'm pretty sure this should be safe.

Subject: [PATCH] ext4: drop lock_super()/unlock_super()

We don't need lock_super()/unlock_super() any more, since the places
where it is used, we are protected by the s_umount r/w semaphore.

I think the patches will go via Al's tree so if Al is agree I'll submit
the patches without modify ext4 at this point. Al, let me know if we
want to proceed in a different way.
