Subject: [rfc][patch] fs: mntput might sleep
Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2010 00:28:20 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100317132820.GH2869@laptop> (raw)

I missed this once or twice, so can we put might_sleep check into
mntput?  Or does anyone call it from atomic context to drop a known
not-last reference? (if so then maybe the caller could be rewritten).
