Hi Sunil,
thank you for your comment.

How about allowing the fs to over-ride the default message? Reduces the clutter.
Same on the umount.

My purpose is to print the common message on the VFS layer.
By using "sop->mount_msg" or "sop->umount_msg", we can print the additional
messages as the filesystem specific information about mount/umount operation
at the same time if necessary.

- at the mount time
[VFS mount message]     <= We can understand a certain filesystem is being
                          mounted at this moment.
[fs specific messages
...                   ] <- additional messages as the filesystem specific info
                          at the mount time.

- at the umount time
[fs specific messages   <- additional messages as the filesystem specific info
 ...                 ]    at the umount time.
[VFS umount message]     <= We can understand a certain filesystem has been
                           unmounted at this moment.

(NOTE: VFS messages == "Device ??? mounted file system type ??? read-???")

Best Regards,
Toshiyuki Okajima
