Hi.
Now, on the VFS-layer any messages aren't printed at mount/umount time
(when the operation normally terminates).
But there are some filesystems which print their own specific messages at those
times.
For the purpose of the system management and so on, users (especially,
enterprise users) want to observe their system operations from the system logs.
We may manage to observe some filesystems' operations (mount/umount) from the
logs. But the filesystems of which we can observe the operations are not all.
Therefore to achieve the observations for all filesystems is to add the message
mechanism into the VFS layer. If any filesystems' specific messages at
mount/umount time are added into this, we can distinguish more easily each
message among the system logs for our systems' observations.
This patch provides the following:
- message output at mount/umount time
- the functions of printing the filesystem's specific information at
mount/umount time
(NOTE: This mechanism becomes effective only when the users call
the mount system call because they don't want to observe the pseudo
filesystems.)
P.S.
This concept derives from the following:

How about allowing the fs to over-ride the default message? Reduces the
clutter.
Same on the umount.

Hi Sunil,
thank you for your comment.

My purpose is to print the common message on the VFS layer.
By using "sop->mount_msg" or "sop->umount_msg", we can print the additional
messages as the filesystem specific information about mount/umount operation
at the same time if necessary.
- at the mount time
[VFS mount message] <= We can understand a certain filesystem is being
mounted at this moment.
[fs specific messages
... ] <- additional messages as the filesystem specific info
at the mount time.
- at the umount time
[fs specific messages <- additional messages as the filesystem specific info
... ] at the umount time.
[VFS umount message] <= We can understand a certain filesystem has been
unmounted at this moment.
(NOTE: VFS messages == "Device ??? mounted file system type ??? read-???")
