Hey everyone,
This is an attempty to allow concurrent mounters and iterators to wait
on superblock state changes without having to hold s_umount. This is
made necessary by recent attempts to open block devices after superblock
creation and fixing deadlocks due to blkdev_put() trying to acquire
s_umount while s_umount is already held.
This is on top of Jan's and Christoph's work in vfs.super. Obviously not
for v6.6. I guess this is in between an RFC and meaning it. I hope I got
it right but this is intricate.
It reliably survives xfstests for btrfs, ext4, and xfs while
concurrently having 7 processes running ustat() hammering on
@super_blocks and a while true loop that tries to mount a filsystem with
an invalid superblock hammering on sget{_fc}() concurrently as well.
Thanks and don't hit me over the head with things.
Christian
