Misono, Tomohiro 312c89fbca btrfs: cleanup btrfs_mount() using btrfs_mount_root()
Cleanup btrfs_mount() by using btrfs_mount_root(). This avoids getting
btrfs_mount() called twice in mount path.

Old btrfs_mount() will do:
0. VFS layer calls vfs_kern_mount() with registered file_system_type
   (for btrfs, btrfs_fs_type). btrfs_mount() is called on the way.
1. btrfs_parse_early_options() parses "subvolid=" mount option and set the
   value to subvol_objectid. Otherwise, subvol_objectid has the initial
   value of 0
2. check subvol_objectid is 5 or not. Assume this time id is not 5, then
   btrfs_mount() returns by calling mount_subvol()
3. In mount_subvol(), original mount options are modified to contain
   "subvolid=0" in setup_root_args(). Then, vfs_kern_mount() is called with
   btrfs_fs_type and new options
4. btrfs_mount() is called again
5. btrfs_parse_early_options() parses "subvolid=0" and set 5 (instead of 0)
   to subvol_objectid
6. check subvol_objectid is 5 or not. This time id is 5 and mount_subvol()
   is not called. btrfs_mount() finishes mounting a root
7. (in mount_subvol()) with using a return vale of vfs_kern_mount(), it
   calls mount_subtree()
8. return subvolume's dentry

Reusing the same file_system_type (and btrfs_mount()) for vfs_kern_mount()
is the cause of complication.

Instead, new btrfs_mount() will do:
1. parse subvol id related options for later use in mount_subvol()
2. mount device's root by calling vfs_kern_mount() with
   btrfs_root_fs_type, which is not registered to VFS by
   register_filesystem(). As a result, btrfs_mount_root() is called
3. return by calling mount_subvol()

The code of 2. is moved from the first part of mount_subvol().

The semantics of device holder changes from btrfs_fs_type to
btrfs_root_fs_type and has to be used in all contexts. Otherwise we'd
get wrong results when mount and dev scan would not check the same
thing. (this has been found indendently and the fix is folded into this
patch)

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
