From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx> We check submounts before doing d_drop() on a non-empty directory dentry in NFS (have_submounts()), but we do not exclude a racing mount. Nor do we prevent mounts to be added to the disconnected subtree using relative paths after the d_drop(). This patch fixes these issues by checking for unlinked (unhashed, non-root) ancestors before proceeding with the mount. This is done after setting DCACHE_MOUNTED on the soon-to-be mountpoint and with the rename seqlock taken for write. This ensures that the only one of check_submounts_and_drop() or has_unlinked_ancestor() can succeed.
