All submounts share the same virtio-fs device instance as the root mount. If the same virtiofs filesystem is mounted again, sget_fc() is likely to pick up any of these submounts and reuse it instead of the root mount. On the server side: # mkdir ${some_dir} # mkdir ${some_dir}/mnt1 # mount -t tmpfs none ${some_dir}/mnt1 # touch ${some_dir}/mnt1/THIS_IS_MNT1 # mkdir ${some_dir}/mnt2 # mount -t tmpfs none ${some_dir}/mnt2 # touch ${some_dir}/mnt2/THIS_IS_MNT2 On the client side: # mkdir /mnt/virtiofs1 # mount -t virtiofs myfs /mnt/virtiofs1 # ls /mnt/virtiofs1 mnt1 mnt2 # grep virtiofs /proc/mounts myfs /mnt/virtiofs1 virtiofs rw,seclabel,relatime 0 0 none on /mnt/mnt1 type virtiofs (rw,relatime,seclabel) none on /mnt/mnt2 type virtiofs (rw,relatime,seclabel) And now remount it again: # mount -t virtiofs myfs /mnt/virtiofs2 # grep virtiofs /proc/mounts myfs /mnt/virtiofs1 virtiofs rw,seclabel,relatime 0 0 none on /mnt/mnt1 type virtiofs (rw,relatime,seclabel) none on /mnt/mnt2 type virtiofs (rw,relatime,seclabel) myfs /mnt/virtiofs2 virtiofs rw,seclabel,relatime 0 0 # ls /mnt/virtiofs2 THIS_IS_MNT2 Submount mnt2 was picked-up instead of the root mount. Just skip submounts in virtio_fs_test_super().
