  nilfs2: allow btree code to directly call dat operations
  nilfs2: add update functions of virtual block address to dat
  nilfs2: remove individual gfp constants for each metadata file
  nilfs2: stop zero-fill of btree path just before free it
  nilfs2: remove unused btree argument from btree functions
  nilfs2: remove nilfs_dat_abort_start and nilfs_dat_abort_free
  nilfs2: shorten freeze period due to GC in write operation v3
  nilfs2: add more check routines in mount process
  nilfs2: An unassigned variable is assigned to a never used structure member
  nilfs2: use GFP_NOIO for bio_alloc instead of GFP_NOWAIT
  nilfs2: stop using periodic write_super callback
  nilfs2: clean up nilfs_write_super
  nilfs2: fix disorder of nilfs_write_super in nilfs_sync_fs
  nilfs2: remove redundant super block commit
  nilfs2: implement nilfs_show_options to display mount options in /proc/mounts
  nilfs2: always lookup disk block address before reading metadata block
  nilfs2: use semaphore to protect pointer to a writable FS-instance
  nilfs2: fix format string compile warning (ino_t)

- *
- * The s_dirt flag is managed by each filesystem and we protect it by ns_sem

- * Inside NILFS, locking ns_sem is enough to protect s_dirt and the buffer

- *
- * In most cases, VFS functions call lock_super() before calling these
- * methods.  So we must be careful not to bring on deadlocks when using
- * lock_super();  see generic_shutdown_super(), write_super(), and so on.
- *
- * Note that order of lock_kernel() and lock_super() depends on contexts
