SubjectRe: [PATCH 3/4] udf: Replace bkl with a mutex for protect udf_inode_info struct
>  	struct inode vfs_inode;
> +

> + struct mutex lock;

mentioning that it replaces bkl is not very useful for someone looking
at the code. Neither is "Seriazlize writer access". What would be
more useful is to document what exact fields are supposed to
be protected by this field. Take a look at hfsplus_inode_info, where
I documented the locking as part of the BKL removal during the 2.6.37
cycle.
