18 * Handling of filesystem drivers list.
20 * Inclusion to/removals from/scanning of list are protected by spinlock.
21 * During the unload module must call unregister_filesystem().
22 * We can access the fields of list element if:
23 * 1) spinlock is held or
24 * 2) we hold the reference to the module.
25 * The latter can be guaranteed by call of try_module_get(); if it
26 * returned 0 we must skip the element, otherwise we got the reference.
27 * Once the reference is obtained we can drop the spinlock.
