Subject: [PATCH] Documentation/filesystems/porting: Update documentation.
Date: Fri,  3 Aug 2012 23:04:25 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1344015265-6752-1-git-send-email-sacchi@gmail.com> (raw)

->get_sb() is no longer used, update documentation to use ->mount(). Also added
  a example for struct file_system_type.

 Turn your foo_read_super() into a function that would return 0 in case of
 success and negative number in case of error (-EINVAL unless you have more
 informative error value to report).  Call it foo_fill_super().  Now declare
 
-int foo_get_sb(struct file_system_type *fs_type,
-	int flags, const char *dev_name, void *data, struct vfsmount *mnt)
+static struct dentry *foo_mount(struct file_system_type *fs_type, int flags,
+                                const char *dev_name, void *data)
 {
-	return get_sb_bdev(fs_type, flags, dev_name, data, foo_fill_super,
-			   mnt);
+        return mount_bdev(fs_type, flags, dev_name, data, foo_fill_super);
 }
 
 (or similar with s/bdev/nodev/ or s/bdev/single/, depending on the kind of
 filesystem).
 
 Replace DECLARE_FSTYPE... with explicit initializer and have ->get_sb set as
-foo_get_sb.
+foo_mount. For example:
+
+static struct file_system_type foo_fs_type = {
+        .owner  = THIS_MODULE,
+        .name   = "foo",
+        .mount  = foo_mount,
+};
