Hi Amit,
I see that the mtab locking here has the patches that should make it
work properly (at least I believe that is the case) but if that same fix
is not implemented in the util-linux code base then the problem will
persist.
Perhaps Adrian Bunk should be involved in this since he will ultimately
need to update util-linux as well?

util-linux already uses this locking protocol (which is included in the
patches), in fact that code is duplicated now in nfs-utils. But theres
code like the samba client (mount.cifs), that doesn't follow this and
have implemented some different mechanism.

My point is that the code in util-linux does not do the locking properly
and if it is not fixed then the locking here isn't worth anything.
