Oh, that still hasn't been fixed? Generic bug, not XFS - the global
semaphore->mutex cleanup converted the bd_mount_sem to a mutex, and
mutexes complain loudly when a the process unlocking the mutex is
not the process that locked it.
Basically, the generic code is broken - the bd_mount_mutex needs to
be reverted back to a semaphore because it is locked and unlocked
by different processes. The following patch does this....
BTW, Sami, can you cc xfs@....sgi.com on XFS bug reports in future;
you'll get more XFS savvy eyes there.....
Cheers,
Dave.

Revert bd_mount_mutex back to a semaphore so that xfs_freeze -f /mnt/newtest;
xfs_freeze -u /mnt/newtest works safely and doesn't produce lockdep warnings.
