It consist mostly of cleanups and additionally introduces a spinlock to protect some of the superblock's fields against concurrent access. I've addressed the feedback kindly provided by Ogawa-san by moving the ext2_write_super() out of ext2_setup_super(). These patches have been part of the BKL removal series that I have posted in November 2009 already. Since this is more than just removing the usage of the big lock I repost it separately for inclusion. This series, at least the last patch that includes the s_lock, needs to be merged before Frederics bkl-removal branch, if he merges the rest of my patches there. Thanks, Jan Jan Blunck (5): ext2: Use ext2_clear_super_error() in ext2_sync_fs() ext2: Set the write time in ext2_sync_fs() ext2: Remove duplicate code from ext2_sync_fs() ext2: Move ext2_write_super() out of ext2_setup_super() ext2: Add ext2_sb_info s_lock spinlock fs/ext2/inode.c | 2 + fs/ext2/super.c | 63 +++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------- include/linux/ext2_fs_sb.h | 6 ++++ 3 files changed, 44 insertions(+), 27 deletions(-)
