From 7a5144e71c46a5aea05444ca93f9d97664f7c859 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2012 16:20:36 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] fs: Skip atime update on frozen filesystem It is unexpected to block reading of frozen filesystem because of atime update. Also handling blocking on frozen filesystem because of atime update would make locking more complex than it already is. So just skip atime update when filesystem is frozen like we skip it when filesystem is remounted read-only.
