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