Which part of get_tree_bdev?  Is it this?

		/*
		 * s_umount nests inside open_mutex during
		 * __invalidate_device().  blkdev_put() acquires
		 * open_mutex and can't be called under s_umount.  Drop
		 * s_umount temporarily.  This is safe as we're
		 * holding an active reference.
		 */
		up_write(&s->s_umount);
		blkdev_put(bdev, fc->fs_type);
		down_write(&s->s_umount);

<confused>

Isn't down_write taking s_umount?  I think the label should be
out_relock or something less misleading.
