The patch titled fs: add lock annotation to grab_super has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is fs-add-lock-annotation-to-grab_super.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: fs: add lock annotation to grab_super From: Josh Triplett <josht@xxxxxxxxxx> grab_super gets called with sb_lock held, and releases it. Add a lock annotation to this function so that sparse can check callers for lock pairing, and so that sparse will not complain about this function since it intentionally uses the lock in this manner.
