Subject: [PATCH 5/5] super: add a guard for super_lock()
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2026 11:41:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261023-work-super-lock_helpers-v1-5-d0fcb3f2f275@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261023-work-super-lock_helpers-v1-0-d0fcb3f2f275@kernel.org>
Six callers take s_umount and drop it again in the same scope and have
to pick the unlock that matches the lock they took. Add a guard for
super_lock() that unlocks with the flags it locked with and convert
them. Similar to irqdesc_lock let's build it from
__DEFINE_UNLOCK_GUARD() as super_lock() takes its flags at runtime.
The device walks use ACQUIRE() instead of scoped_guard() so a continue
still moves on to the next superblock. __iterate_supers() uses ACQUIRE()
as well because, like fs_bdev_sync(), it needs ACQUIRE_ERR() to tell
-ENOENT from a fatal signal. The callers that hand the lock off stay as
they are.
No functional changes.
