Push down lock_super into ->write_super instances and remove it from the caller. Following filesystem don't need ->s_lock in ->write_super and are skipped: * bfs, nilfs2 - no other uses of s_lock and have internal locks in ->write_super * ext2 - uses BKL in ext2_write_super and has internal calls without s_lock * reiserfs - no other uses of s_lock as has reiserfs_write_lock (BKL) in ->write_super * xfs - no other uses of s_lock and uses internal lock (buffer lock on superblock buffer) to serialize ->write_super. Also xfs_fs_write_super is superflous and will go away in the next merge window Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Index: vfs-2.6/fs/ext4/super.c =================================================================== --- vfs-2.6.orig/fs/ext4/super.c 2009-05-11 23:26:24.844787452 +0200 +++ vfs-2.6/fs/ext4/super.c 2009-05-11 23:28:12.925808532 +0200 @@ -66,6 +66,7 @@ static int ext4_remount(struct super_blo static int ext4_statfs(struct dentry *dentry, struct kstatfs *buf); static int ext4_unfreeze(struct super_block *sb); static void ext4_write_super(struct super_block *sb); +static void ext4_write_super_locked(struct super_block *sb); static int ext4_freeze(struct super_block *sb); @@ -566,7 +567,7 @@ static void ext4_put_super(struct super_ lock_super(sb); lock_kernel(); if (sb->s_dirt) - ext4_write_super(sb); + ext4_write_super_locked(sb); ext4_mb_release(sb); ext4_ext_release(sb); @@ -3273,7 +3274,7 @@ int ext4_force_commit(struct super_block * point.
