Subject: exofs: remove BKL from super operations
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1ba50bbe93ebb98e83b174a85eff76af430c4e5b;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

exofs: remove BKL from super operations

the two places inside exofs that where taking the BKL were:
exofs_put_super() - .put_super
and
exofs_sync_fs() - which is .sync_fs and is also called from
                  .write_super.

Now exofs_sync_fs() is protected from itself by also taking
the sb_lock.

exofs_put_super() directly calls exofs_sync_fs() so there is no
danger between these two either.

In anyway there is absolutely nothing dangerous been done
inside exofs_sync_fs().

Unless there is some subtle race with the actual lifetime of
the super_block in regard to .put_super and some other parts
of the VFS. Which is highly unlikely.
