ACK.
I tried to mount orangefs with a nonsense option and got:
[96967.205842] ================================================
[96967.206439] [ BUG: lock held when returning to user space! ]
[96967.207046] 4.10.0-00008-g554ce8b #2 Not tainted
[96967.207531] ------------------------------------------------
[96967.208130] mount/6371 is leaving the kernel with locks still held!
[96967.208797] 1 lock held by mount/6371:
[96967.209211] #0: (&type->s_umount_key#52/1){+.+.+.}, at:
[<ffffffffbe2a1782>] sget_userns+0x2d2/0x510
and then I typed sync and it wedged...
After applying Martin's patch, the nonsense mount option merely caused
the mount to fail without sickening the kernel...
