The intent was to verify that bh = affs_bread_ino(...) returned a valid
pointer.  We checked "ext_bh" earlier in the function and it's valid
here.

The BKL is only used in put_super, fill_super and remount_fs that are all
three protected by the superblocks s_umount rw_semaphore. Therefore it is
safe to remove the BKL entirely.

<title>BKL: Explicitly add BKL around get_sb/fill_super</title>

<id>db71922217a214e5c9268448e537b54fc1f301ea</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch is a preparation necessary to remove the BKL from do_new_mount().
It explicitly adds calls to lock_kernel()/unlock_kernel() around
get_sb/fill_super operations for filesystems that still uses the BKL.

I've read through all the code formerly covered by the BKL inside
do_kern_mount() and have satisfied myself that it doesn't need the BKL
any more.

do_kern_mount() is already called without the BKL when mounting the rootfs
and in nfsctl. do_kern_mount() calls vfs_kern_mount(), which is called
from various places without BKL: simple_pin_fs(), nfs_do_clone_mount()
through nfs_follow_mountpoint(), afs_mntpt_do_automount() through
afs_mntpt_follow_link(). Both later functions are actually the filesystems
follow_link inode operation. vfs_kern_mount() is calling the specified
get_sb function and lets the filesystem do its job by calling the given
fill_super function.

Therefore I think it is safe to push down the BKL from the VFS to the
low-level filesystems get_sb/fill_super operation.

[arnd: do not add the BKL to those file systems that already
       don't use it elsewhere]

<title>AFFS: wait for sb synchronization when needed</title>

AFFS does not ever wait for superblock synchronization in
-&gt;put_super(), -&gt;write_super, and -&gt;sync_fs().

However, it should wait for synchronization in -&gt;put_super() because
it is about to be unmounted, in -&gt;write_super() because this is
periodic SB synchronization performed from a separate kernel thread,
and in -&gt;sync_fs() it should respect the 'wait' flag. This patch fixes
the situation.

Also, in -&gt;put_super(), do not write the SB if it is not dirty.

In 'affs_write_super()': remove ancient and wrong commented code,
remove unneeded 'clean' variable, so the function becomes a bit
cleaner and simpler.

In 'affs_remount(): remove unnecessary SB dirty flag changes.
