From: Pavel Tikhomirov <ptikhomirov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> We probably need to fix superblock leak in patch (v4 "fs: Add user namesapace member to struct super_block"): Imagine posible code path in sget_userns: we iterate through type->fs_supers and do not find suitable sb, we drop sb_lock to allocate s and go to retry. After we dropped sb_lock some other task from different userns takes sb_lock, it is already in retry stage and has s allocated, so it puts its s in type->fs_supers list. So in retry we will find these sb in list and check it has a different userns, and finally we will return without freeing s.
