Right. I converted it to be a spinlock and unlock before calling
ext2_sync_super().

What do you think?

Thanks,

Again didn't go through all the code paths, but it seems like a good
approach.

  The patch is generally fine. I have just a few minor comments below:

   I don't like this dropping of spinlock inside ext2_sync_super. Can we
just drop it here and retake it in ext2_sync_super? It's by far not a
performance critical path so it should not really matter.

  As I'm reading the code s_lock protects some of the fieds but definitely
not all. I'd say it protects s_mount_state, s_blocks_last, s_overhead_last,
and a content of superblock's buffer pointed to by sbi->s_es. The rest just
either does not change during lifetime of the filesystem or has different
locks (either s_umount semaphore or other spinlocks).

Patch

From d70afd90149d0318c0fe51d05aaebe24c7def96a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 05/28] ext2: Add ext2_sb_info spinlock

Add a spinlock that protects the ext2_sb_info from concurrent modifications.
This is a preparation for removing the BKL later.
