As we calling this from the mount_single() wrapper:
return mount_single(fs_type, flags, data, efivarfs_fill_super);
which does this:
struct dentry *mount_single(struct file_system_type *fs_type,
int flags, void *data,
int (*fill_super)(struct super_block *, void *, int))
{
[...]
error = fill_super(s, data, flags & MS_SILENT ? 1 : 0);
if (error) {
deactivate_locked_super(s);
return ERR_PTR(error);
}
[...]
I am expecting us to get called back via deactivate_locked_super(),
which calls sb->kill_sb() which is:
static void efivarfs_kill_sb(struct super_block *sb)
{
kill_litter_super(sb);
efivarfs_sb = NULL;
}
Which I believe will clean them up.
