The patch titled r/o bind mounts: elevate writer count for custom 'struct file' has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is ro-bind-mounts-elevate-writer-count-for-custom-struct-file.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: r/o bind mounts: elevate writer count for custom 'struct file' From: Dave Hansen <haveblue@xxxxxxxxxx> Some filesystems forego the vfs and may_open() and create their own 'struct file's. Any of these users which set the write flag on the file will cause an extra mnt_drop_write() on __fput(), thus dropping the reference count too low. These users tend to have artifical in-kernel vfsmounts which aren't really exposed to userspace and can't be remounted, but this patch is included for completeness and so that the warnings don't trip over these cases.
