Hi,
I have got a block device which I would like to mount twice using different
filesystems. The two filesystems support this (are already patched), but
through the function thread of mounting comes open_bdev_excl() which makes
it impossible to do said mounts.
Can anyone give me a hint on what to change to disable bdev exclusive locking
for a given condition? Thanks.

Write your own get_sb_bdev() and open_bdev(), do not call bd_claim().
