Hmm, but what prevents the following race?
Thread 1 Thread 2
..
xfs_trans_alloc()
xfs_wait_for_freeze(mp, SB_FREEZE_TRANS);
freeze_super()
...
xfs_fs_freeze()
...
xfs_quiesce_attr()
...
_xfs_trans_alloc()
atomic_inc(&mp->m_active_trans);
... goes on modifying the filesystem
It seems to be a similar problem as in ext4 - the atomic_inc() and
vfs_check_frozen() are in the wrong order...
