Some fs (like isofs, minix) read/write super block fields (such as s_dev,
s_op) _without_ taking the lock, while other always take the lock when
accessing super block members.
My question is : What is the correct attitude? Should this lock be used
for accessing every member of a super block? Is there an area of code when
you are sure you don't need to take such a lock (in the read_super()
function of a fs for example)?
Just tell me, and I will do a patch for all incorrect fs.
