Hi, Yes. I found the source and read it. But I cant understand the following things. 1. Why mutex lock is used in the code ? I know it is used for process synchronisation but why that section of the code is critical ? 2. What is the purpose of the "sget()" function ? 3. And what is the job of the function mount_bdev() ? Thanking you, On Sat, Jun 15, 2013 at 6:24 PM, <Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu> wrote:

Please describe the functions of this function "mount_bdev()" defined in the header file "Linux/fs/super.c".
I guess it somehow initiates a safe execution of the fill_super function passed as parameter but i want to know the actual steps performed by that function.
Did you find the source of the function?
Did you read the source of the function?
Can you explain what you're still confused about even after reading it?
