Subject[PATCH 1/5] fsfreeze: Prevent emergency thaw from looping infinitely
Date
From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

The thawing of a filesystem through sysrq-j loops infinitely as it
incorrectly detects a thawed filesytsem as frozen and tries to
unfreeze repeatedly. This is a regression caused by
4504230a71566785a05d3e6b53fa1ee071b864eb ("freeze_bdev: grab active
reference to frozen superblocks") in that it no longer returned
-EINVAL for superblocks that were not frozen.

Return -EINVAL when the filesystem is already unfrozen to avoid this
problem.
