[PATCH] ReiserFS: Make sure all dentries refs are released before calling kill_block_super() [try #2]

From: David Howells
Date: Wed Aug 09 2006 - 09:41:39 EST



Make sure all dentries refs are released before calling kill_block_super() so
that the assumption that generic_shutdown_super() can completely destroy the
dentry tree for there will be no external references holds true.

What was being done in the put_super() superblock op, is now done in the
kill_sb() filesystem op instead, prior to calling kill_block_super().


Changes made in [try #2]:

(*) reiserfs_kill_sb() now checks that the superblock FS info pointer is set
before trying to dereference it.
