[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] qemu-ga: avoid blocking on atime update when reading /etc/mtab

[Michael Roth]

Currently we re-read/re-process /etc/mtab to get an updated list of
mounts when guest-fsfreeze-thaw is called. This can cause an atime
update on /etc/mtab, which will block if we're in a frozen state.

Instead, use /proc's version of mtab, which may not be up-to-date with
options passed via -o remount, but is compatible for our use cases since
we only care about the filesystem type.
