Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 09/12] fs/configfs: open-code simple_pin_fs()
Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2026 10:36:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260619-configfs-ns-v2-9-82fd7094b8dc@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260619-configfs-ns-v2-0-82fd7094b8dc@kernel.org>

simple_pin_fs() is protected by an internal spin lock, to
protect against concurrent use of simple_release_fs().
But as we also need to clone the mountpoint we cannot
easily expand the scope of the lock as it's internal to
fs/libfs. So open-code simple_pin_fs() and simple_release_fs()
to be able to use a lock covering all use-cases.
