What about adding a lockdep_assert_lock_held in all the functions
that used to take the lock to document the assumptions?
static int __mnt_unmake_readonly(struct mount *mnt)
{
- lock_mount_hash();
mnt->mnt.mnt_flags &= ~MNT_READONLY;
- unlock_mount_hash();
return 0;
This helper is rather pointless now.
static void set_mount_attributes(struct mount *mnt, unsigned int
mnt_flags)
{
- lock_mount_hash();
mnt_flags |= mnt->mnt.mnt_flags & ~MNT_USER_SETTABLE_MASK;
mnt->mnt.mnt_flags = mnt_flags;
touch_mnt_namespace(mnt->mnt_ns);
- unlock_mount_hash();
In linux-next there is an additional notify_mount after the unlock here.
Also while you touch this lock_mount_hash/unlock_mount_hash could be
moved to namespace.c and maked static now.
