Saner handling of refcounts to mountpoints.
Transfer the counting reference from struct mount ->mnt_mountpoint
over to struct mountpoint ->m_dentry. That allows to get rid of
the convoluted games with ordering of mount shutdowns. The cost
is in teaching shrink_dcache_{parent,for_umount} to cope with
mixed-filesystem shrink lists, which we'll also need for the Slab
Movable Objects patchset.
I'm not sure what's the best way to do that pull request;
there are two branches with identical (modulo one space in comment)
contents. The former (#work.dcache) sat in -next; the latter (#work.dcache2)
has the last commit of the former split and folded. Said last commit is
basically what you'd asked to change - comment for locking of ex_mountpoints,
separating the default variant of put_namespace() from "save to this
list" one, having the former explicitly pass &ex_mountpoints to the
latter, comment updates.
Conservative approach would be to pull #work.dcache, but...
consider e.g. put_mountpoint() changes in work.dcache: in the middle of
the series we have
-static void put_mountpoint(struct mountpoint *mp)
+static void put_mountpoint(struct mountpoint *mp, struct list_head *list)
...
+ if (!list)
+ list = &ex_mountpoints;
+ dput_to_list(dentry, list);
with corresponding callers' updates (all but one passing NULL). In this
last commit it becomes
static void __put_mountpoint(struct mountpoint *mp, struct list_head *list)
with if (!list) part gone and
+static void put_mountpoint(struct mountpoint *mp)
+{
+ __put_mountpoint(mp, &ex_mountpoints);
+}
with callers reverted to the original state. IOW, pointless noise.
And
-static LIST_HEAD(ex_mountpoints);
+static LIST_HEAD(ex_mountpoints); /* protected by namespace_sem */
is better folded into the into the commit introducing the list.
IOW, if you are OK with pulling #work.dcache2, it would, IMO, be
better. Below is the pull request for it; the variant for #work.dcache
would differ in having 9 commits instead of 8. Up to you...

nfs: dget_parent() never returns NULL
__detach_mounts(): lookup_mountpoint() can't return ERR_PTR() anymore
fs/namespace.c: shift put_mountpoint() to callers of unhash_mnt()
Teach shrink_dcache_parent() to cope with mixed-filesystem shrink lists
make struct mountpoint bear the dentry reference to mountpoint, not struct mount
get rid of detach_mnt()
switch the remnants of releasing the mountpoint away from fs_pin
