So in the old scheme:

s = alloc_super()
-> down_write_nested(&s->s_umount, SINGLE_DEPTH_NESTING);

and assume you're not finding an old one immediately afterwards you'd

-> spin_lock(&sb_lock)

static int set_bdev_super(struct super_block *s, void *data)
{
        s->s_bdev = data;
        s->s_dev = s->s_bdev->bd_dev;
        s->s_bdi = bdi_get(s->s_bdev->bd_disk->bdi);

        if (bdev_stable_writes(s->s_bdev))
                s->s_iflags |= SB_I_STABLE_WRITES;
        return 0;
}

-> spin_unlock(&sb_lock)

in the new scheme you're doing:

s = alloc_super()
-> down_write_nested(&s->s_umount, SINGLE_DEPTH_NESTING);

and assume you're not finding an old one immediately afterwards you'd

up_write(&s->s_umount);

error = setup_bdev_super(s, fc->sb_flags, fc);
-> spin_lock(&sb_lock);
   sb->s_bdev = bdev;
   sb->s_bdi = bdi_get(bdev->bd_disk->bdi);
   if (bdev_stable_writes(bdev))
           sb->s_iflags |= SB_I_STABLE_WRITES;
-> spin_unlock(&sb_lock);

down_write(&s->s_umount);

Which looks like the lock ordering here is changed?
