[EXISTING PROBLEM]
Currently btrfs mount is split into two parts:
- btrfs_get_tree_subvol()
Which sets up the very basic fs_info, and eventually calls
mount_subvol() to mount the target subvolume.
- btrfs_get_tree_super()
This is the part doing super block allocation and if there is no
existing super block, do the real open_ctree() to open the fs.
However currently we're doing this in a complex re-entering way:
vfs_get_tree()
|- btrfs_get_tree()
|- btrfs_get_tree_subvol()
|- vfs_get_tree()
| |- btrfs_get_tree()
| |- btrfs_get_tree_super()
|- mount_subvol()
This is definitely not that easy to grasp.
[ENHANCEMENT]
The function vfs_get_tree() is only doing the following work:
- Call get_tree() call back
- Call super_wake()
- Call security_sb_set_mnt_opts()
In our case, super_wake() can be skipped, as after
btrfs_get_tree_subvol() finishes, vfs_get_tree() will call super_wake()
on the super block we got anyway.
The same applies to security_sb_set_mnt_opts(), as long as we do not
free the security from our original fc in btrfs_get_tree_subvol(), the
first vfs_get_tree() call will handle the security correctly.
So here we only need to:
- Replace vfs_get_tree() call with btrfs_get_tree_super()
- Keep the existing fc->security for vfs_get_tree() to handle the
security
This will remove the re-entering behavior and make thing much easier to
follow.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
