Does equivalent of up_write(&amp;s-&gt;s_umount); deactivate_super(s);
However, it does not does not unlock it until it's all over.
As the result, it's safe to use to dispose of new superblock on -&gt;get_sb()
failure exits - nobody will see the sucker until it's all over.
Equivalent using up_write/deactivate_super is safe for that purpose
if superblock is either	safe to use or has NULL -&gt;s_root when we unlock.
Normally filesystems take the required precautions, but
	a) we do have bugs in that area in some of them.
	b) up_write/deactivate_super sequence is extremely common,
so the helper makes sense anyway.

The mqueuefs filesystem will use this helper as well.  Proc's main get_sb
could also be made to use it, but that will require a bit more rework.

simple_set_mnt() is defined as returning 'int' but always returns 0.
Callers assume simple_set_mnt() never fails and don't properly cleanup if
it were to _ever_ fail.  For instance, get_sb_single() and get_sb_nodev()
should:

        up_write(sb-&gt;s_unmount);
        deactivate_super(sb);

if simple_set_mnt() fails.

Since simple_set_mnt() never fails, would be cleaner if it did not
return anything.

Opencode a cheasy approach with kevent. The idea here is that we'll
add some generic delayed work infrastructure, which probably wont be
based on pdflush (or maybe it will, in which case we can just add it
back).

This is in preparation for getting rid of pdflush completely.
