Hmm. This doesn't look exactly right. It appears that vfs_kern_mount()
has a slightly different purpose. It's for drivers which register their
own fstype and fs_context/sb callbacks. A typical usage would be
static struct file_system_type nfsd_fs_type = {
.owner→ → = THIS_MODULE,
.name→ → = "nfsd",
.init_fs_context = nfsd_init_fs_context,
.kill_sb→ = nfsd_umount,
};
MODULE_ALIAS_FS("nfsd");
vfs_kern_mount(&nfsd_fs_type, SB_KERNMOUNT, "nfsd", NULL);
i915 is a different beast, it just wants to mount fs and reconfigure
it, it doesn't want to be an fs. So it seems that current kern_mount()
is actually right.
Maybe we need to export put_filesystem() instead.
