+The mount() method must return the root dentry of the tree requested by

+superblock must be locked.  On failure it should return ERR_PTR(error).
 
-The get_sb() method must determine if the block device specified
-in the dev_name and fs_type contains a filesystem of the type the method
-supports. If it succeeds in opening the named block device, it initializes a
-struct super_block descriptor for the filesystem contained by the block device.
-On failure it returns an error.
+The arguments match those of mount(2) and their interpretation
+depends on filesystem type.  E.g. for block filesystems, dev_name is
+interpreted as block device name, that device is opened and if it
+contains a suitable filesystem image the method creates and initializes
+struct super_block accordingly, returning its root dentry to caller.

+->mount() may choose to return a subtree of existing filesystem - it
