Subject: Are lock_super() and unlock_super() deprecated?
Date: Sun, 17 Jun 2012 20:05:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1339956342.4747.3.camel@localhost> (raw)

Hello everyone,

short question: What am I supposed to use instead of lock_super() and
unlock_super() in newly written filesystem drivers?

fs/super.c:
> 352 /*
> 353  * Superblock locking.  We really ought to get rid of these two.
> 354  */
> 355 void lock_super(struct super_block * sb)
> 356 {
> 357         mutex_lock(&sb->s_lock);
> 358 }
> 359 
> 360 void unlock_super(struct super_block * sb)
> 361 {
> 362         mutex_unlock(&sb->s_lock);
> 363 }
> 364 
> 365 EXPORT_SYMBOL(lock_super);
> 366 EXPORT_SYMBOL(unlock_super);

Regards,
Dan
