<title>mnt: Protect the mountpoint hashtable with mount_lock</title>

<id>3895dbf8985f656675b5bde610723a29cbce3fa7</id>
<content type='text'>
Protecting the mountpoint hashtable with namespace_sem was sufficient
until a call to umount_mnt was added to mntput_no_expire.  At which
point it became possible for multiple calls of put_mountpoint on
the same hash chain to happen on the same time.

Kristen Johansen &lt;kjlx@templeofstupid.com&gt; reported:
&gt; This can cause a panic when simultaneous callers of put_mountpoint
&gt; attempt to free the same mountpoint.  This occurs because some callers
&gt; hold the mount_hash_lock, while others hold the namespace lock.  Some
&gt; even hold both.
&gt;
&gt; In this submitter's case, the panic manifested itself as a GP fault in
&gt; put_mountpoint() when it called hlist_del() and attempted to dereference
&gt; a m_hash.pprev that had been poisioned by another thread.

Al Viro observed that the simple fix is to switch from using the namespace_sem
to the mount_lock to protect the mountpoint hash table.

I have taken Al's suggested patch moved put_mountpoint in pivot_root
(instead of taking mount_lock an additional time), and have replaced
new_mountpoint with get_mountpoint a function that does the hash table
lookup and addition under the mount_lock.   The introduction of get_mounptoint
ensures that only the mount_lock is needed to manipulate the mountpoint
hashtable.

d_set_mounted is modified to only set DCACHE_MOUNTED if it is not
already set.  This allows get_mountpoint to use the setting of
DCACHE_MOUNTED to ensure adding a struct mountpoint for a dentry
happens exactly once.

d_mountpoint() can only be used reliably to establish if a dentry is
not mounted in any namespace. It isn't aware of the possibility there
may be multiple mounts using the given dentry, possibly in a different
namespace.

Add function, path_has_submounts(), that checks is a struct path contains
mounts (or is a mountpoint itself) to handle this case.

d_hash(dentry-&gt;d_name.hash) is __d_move(), where we give it d_hash
