We recently fixed an infinite loop by setting the SB_BORN flag on submounts along with the write barrier needed by super_cache_count(). This is the job of vfs_get_tree() and FUSE shouldn't have to care about the barrier at all. Split out some code from fuse_dentry_automount() to a new dedicated fuse_get_tree_submount() handler for submounts and call vfs_get_tree(). The fs_private field of the filesystem context isn't used with submounts : hijack it to pass the FUSE inode of the mount point down to fuse_get_tree_submount().
What exactly do you mean by “isn’t used”? virtio_fs_init_fs_context() still sets it (it is non-NULL in fuse_dentry_automount() after fs_context_for_submount()). It does appear like it is never read, but one thing that definitely would need to be done is for it to be freed before putting mp_fi there.
So I think it may technically be fine to use this field, but then virtio_fs_init_fs_context() shouldn’t set it for submounts (should be discernible with fsc->purpose), and perhaps that should be a separate patch.
(Apart from that, this patch looks good to me, though.) Max
Finally, adapt virtiofs to use this.
