Fix this by adding a write lock while calling fs_set_subtype.

Linus's tree already have refactoring patchset [1], one of them can fix this bug:
         c30da2e981a7 (fuse: convert to use the new mount API)

Since we did not merge the refactoring patchset in this branch, I create this patch.

Fixes: 79c0b2df79eb (add filesystem subtype support)

As you are referring to a fuse-only patch above, why are you trying to
resolve this issue in the core namespace code instead?

How does fuse have anything to do with this?

confused,

greg k-h
.


Now, only `fuse_fs_type` and `fuseblk_fs_type` has `FS_HAS_SUBTYPE` flag in kernel code, but maybe there is a filesystem module(`struct file_system_type` has `FS_HAS_SUBTYPE` flag). And only mounting fuseblk filesystem(e.g. ntfs) will occur memory leak now.

How about updating the subject as: VFS: Fix memory leak caused by mounting fs with subtype concurrency?
