Hm, that's not a pleasant merge conflict given that it's locking
changes. It would probably be fine to just bring it up the way it is but
it looks needlessly messy/uncoordinated. I'm wonder why this isn't just
all in vfs.super since it's core vfs infra change anyway. Maybe I just
missed the patches if so then sorry about that.

That's the two infrastructure patches in the kernel-fsfreeze
branch/kernel-fsfreeze_2023-07-27 tag?:

ad0164493b81 ("fs: distinguish between user initiated freeze and kernel initiated freeze")
53f65fd7a3d5 ("fs: wait for partially frozen filesystemskernel-fsfreeze_2023-07-27kernel-fsfreeze")

If you give me a tag with your description and just the two commits or I
just cherry pick them and cite your description in my pr that would be
my preferred solution. How do you feel about that?
