Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] jfs: Log shutdown error in jfs_freeze() function

Hi Vahram,
   I saw the same issue in the bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53331,
and I sent out a patch this issue, but I've get any feedback.
In fact, I think it's the right way to fix this issue,
can you help to test it?

Thanks,
Gu
