Subject: [PATCH 1/5] super: add super_wait()
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2026 11:41:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261023-work-super-lock_helpers-v1-1-d0fcb3f2f275@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261023-work-super-lock_helpers-v1-0-d0fcb3f2f275@kernel.org>

We wait for SB_BORN, SB_DYING and SB_DEAD in five places now, each with
an open-coded wait_var_event(), wait_var_event_killable() or
wait_var_event_state() on sb->s_flags and super_lock_common() picking
between the first two depending on @killable. Add super_wait() which
takes the flags to wait for and the task state to sleep in and use it
everywhere.

No functional changes.
