If there are some mount points(not exported for nfs) under pseudo root,
after client's operation of those entry under the root, anyone *can't*
unmount those mount points until export cache expired.
# cat /etc/exports

/nfs/pnfs *(rw,insecure,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)

# umount /nfs/test/
umount: /nfs/test/: target is busy
(In some cases useful info about processes that
use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1).)
It's caused by exports cache of nfsd holds the reference of
the path (here is /nfs/test/), so, it can't be umounted.
I don't think that's user expect, they want umount /nfs/test/.
Bruce think user can also umount /nfs/pnfs/ and /nfs/xfs.
This patch site lets nfsd exports pinning to vfsmount,
not using mntget, so user can umount any exports mountpoint now.
v1 --> v3,
1. New helpers path_get_pin/path_put_unpin for path pin.
2. Use kzalloc for allocating memory.
Kinglong Mee (5):
fs_pin: Fix uninitialized value in fs_pin
fs_pin: Export functions for specific filesystem
path: New helpers path_get_pin/path_put_unpin for path pin
sunrpc: New helper cache_force_expire for cache cleanup
nfsd: Allows user un-mounting filesystem where nfsd exports base on
