[PATCH v6 32/40] fs: split out functions to hold writers

From: Christian Brauner <hidden>
Date: 2021-01-21 13:34:42
Also in: linux-ext4, linux-fsdevel, linux-integrity, linux-security-module, linux-xfs, selinux
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

When a mount is marked read-only we set MNT_WRITE_HOLD on it if there
aren't currently any active writers. Split this logic out into simple
helpers that we can use in follow-up patches.
