From 12ad3ab66103e6582ca69c0c9de18b13487eaaef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Chinner Date: Fri, 8 Jul 2011 14:14:41 +1000 Subject: superblock: move pin_sb_for_writeback() to fs/super.c The per-sb shrinker has the same requirement as the writeback threads of ensuring that the superblock is usable and pinned for the time it takes to run the work. Both need to take a passive reference to the sb, take a read lock on the s_umount lock and then only continue if an unmount is not in progress. pin_sb_for_writeback() does this exactly, so move it to fs/super.c and rename it to grab_super_passive() and exporting it via fs/internal.h for all the VFS code to be able to use.
