Here goes the complete function:
static
int bc_lock_dev(struct bc_disk *bd, struct bc_device *bc, kdev_t dev,
int lock)
{
struct super_block *sb;
struct vfsmount *mnt, *root;
struct list_head *ptr;
if (!capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN))
return -EPERM;
if (!bd->bd_flags.configured) {
if (!lock)
return 0;
printk(KERN_ERR "bc: attempt to lock free device.\n");
return -ENXIO;
}
if (lock && !bd->bd_flags.mounted) {
root = current->fs->rootmnt;
list_for_each(ptr, &root->mnt_list) {
mnt = list_entry(ptr, struct vfsmount, mnt_list);
sb = mnt ? mnt->mnt_sb : NULL;
printk (KERN_WARNING "\n\n[++++] The pointer to sb is: %08x\nAnd
the name is: %s\n\n",
sb, mnt->mnt_devname);
if (NULL != sb && dev == sb->s_dev)
mntget(mnt);
}
bd->bd_flags.mounted = 1;
bc->bc_refcnt++;
} else if (!lock && bd->bd_flags.mounted) {
root = current->fs->rootmnt;
list_for_each(ptr, &root->mnt_list) {
mnt = list_entry(ptr, struct vfsmount, mnt_list);
sb = mnt ? mnt->mnt_sb : NULL;
if (NULL != sb && dev == sb->s_dev)
mntget(mnt);
}
bd->bd_flags.mounted = 0;
bc->bc_refcnt--;
}
return 0;
}
