From 1ba50bbe93ebb98e83b174a85eff76af430c4e5b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Boaz Harrosh Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2009 17:56:46 +0300 Subject: exofs: remove BKL from super operations the two places inside exofs that where taking the BKL were: exofs_put_super() - .put_super and exofs_sync_fs() - which is .sync_fs and is also called from .write_super. Now exofs_sync_fs() is protected from itself by also taking the sb_lock. exofs_put_super() directly calls exofs_sync_fs() so there is no danger between these two either. In anyway there is absolutely nothing dangerous been done inside exofs_sync_fs(). Unless there is some subtle race with the actual lifetime of the super_block in regard to .put_super and some other parts of the VFS. Which is highly unlikely.
