[PATCH 07/30] r/o bind mounts: stub functions

2008-02-15 Thread Dave Hansen
This patch adds two function mnt_want_write() and mnt_drop_write(). These are used like a lock pair around and fs operations that might cause a write to the filesystem. Before these can become useful, we must first cover each place in the VFS where writes are performed with a want/drop pair.
