Hi list,
It seems that the support for get_sb function is removed from
kernel 2.6.39 onwards. My code which is working till 2.6.38 series
is failing with new kernels.
I tried finding out but there isnt anything mentioned. So if this
function itself is removed then how kernel is going to find out
the superblock and use it?
Are we supposed to use the mount function provided? This is what i
got from one of the kernel patch email.

diff --git a/Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt b/Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt
It looks like there are other changes related to Pages are also
done.

I have modified the code to use the mount function and its working
correctly. There is one more change I noticed for struct
address_space_operations: The sync_page is removed.
The code is working now.
