    isofs: Remove global fs lock · d769b3c2
    Jan Kara 提交于
    sbi->s_mutex isn't needed for isofs at all so we can just remove it. Generally,
    since isofs is always mounted read-only, filesystem structure cannot change
    under us.  So buffer_head contents stays constant after it's filled in. That
    leaves us with possible changes of global data structures. Superblock changes
    only during filesystem mount (even remount does not change it), inodes are only
    filled in during reading from disk. So there are no changes of these structures
    to bother about.
    
    Arguments why sbi->s_mutex can be removed at each place:
    isofs_readdir: Accesses sb, inode, filp, local variables => s_mutex not needed
    isofs_lookup: Protected by directory's i_mutex. Accesses sb, inode, dentry,
      local variables => s_mutex not needed
    rock_ridge_symlink_readpage: Protected by page lock. Accesses sb, inode,
      local variables => s_mutex not needed.
