The mount is still locked but not in the mount hash? No, it means that something else is mounted on the same dentry (in another part of mount tree, obviously). If you mount the same fs on two different mountpoints, e.g. mount /dev/sda1 /mnt mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/foo you will have the same dentries seen in two places. Now, mount /dev/sdb11 /mnt/a mount /dev/sdc5 /tmp/foo/a and you've got two different filesystems mounted on two different places (/mnt/a and /tmp/foo/a). These two places have different vfsmounts, but the same dentry. struct mountpoint is associated with dentry, so it's also the same for both. And it serves as a mountpoint for two vfsmounts - one for fs from sdb11, another for fs from sdc5. Now umount /mnt/a; one of those two vfsmounts is gone now. struct mountpoint survives, of course, and dentry is *still* a mountpoint. sdc5 is still mounted on /tmp/foo/a, after all... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe autofs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
