    [PATCH] Don't run unlock_super() in ext3_fill_super() · e1f3b1fc
    Andrew Morton authored
    A very long time ago ext3_fill_super() was beng called under the VFS's
    lock_super(), and it had to drop that lock for deadlock avoidance reasons.
    
    But the VFS was later changed to not take lock_super() across ->fill_super(),
    so we're upping a non-downed semaphore.
    
    Just take it out.
