Hi Luis,

BTW, any reason the following code won't be triggered ?

deactivate_locked_super(sb);

   --> fs->kill_sb(s);

         --> ceph_kill_sb()

               --> kill_anon_super()

                     --> generic_shutdown_super()

                           --> sop->put_super()

                                 --> ceph_put_super()

                                       --> ceph_fscrypt_free_dummy_policy()

                                            --> fscrypt_free_dummy_policy(

Thanks!
