It does; with this approach you would need to add ORANGEFS_VFS_OP_FS_UNMOUNT to the whitelist in orangefs_devreq_read() - the !(op->upcall.type == ORANGEFS_VFS_OP_FS_MOUNT || op->upcall.type == ORANGEFS_VFS_OP_GETATTR)) { thing. Sorry, should've thought about that... Alternatively, we could do orangefs_unmount_sb(sb) before removing from the list, and add mutex_lock/mutex_unlock of request_mutex right before that kfree() in the very end. Same effect in terms of list protection and closer to your current logics.
