Yeah, but AFAIK fs freezing code has a history of doing exactly that..
This is just the latest incarnation here.

So the immediate problem here is that the task doing thaw isn't the same
that did freeze, right? The thing is, I'm not seeing how that isn't a
problem with upstream either.

The freeze code seems to do: percpu_down_write() for the various states,
and then frobs lockdep state.

Thaw then does the reverse, frobs lockdep and then does: percpu_up_write().

percpu_down_write() directly relies on down_write(), and
percpu_up_write() on up_write(). And note how __up_write() has:

DEBUG_RWSEMS_WARN_ON(sem->owner != current, sem);

So why isn't this same code coming unstuck in mainline?
