      xfs: fix scrub and remount-ro protection when running scrub · 71bddbcc
      Darrick J. Wong authored
      While running a new fstest that races a readonly remount with scrub
      running in repair mode, I observed the kernel tripping over debugging
      assertions in the log quiesce code that were checking that the CIL was
      empty.  When the sysadmin runs scrub in repair mode, the scrub code
      allocates real transactions (with reservations) to change things, but
      doesn't increment the superblock writers count to block a readonly
      remount attempt while it is running.
      
      We don't require the userspace caller to have a writable file descriptor
      to run repairs, so we have to call mnt_want_write_file to obtain freeze
      protection and increment the writers count.  It's ok to remove the call
      to sb_start_write for the dry-run case because commit 8321ddb2
      removed the behavior where scrub and fsfreeze fight over the buffer LRU.
