If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit 295dc39d941dc2ae53d5c170365af4c9d5c16212 upstream. Currently umount on symlink blocks following umount: /vz is separate mount # ls /vz/ -al | grep test drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Jul 19 01:14 testdir lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 11 Jul 19 01:16 testlink -> /vz/testdir # umount -l /vz/testlink umount: /vz/testlink: not mounted (expected) # lsof /vz # umount /vz umount: /vz: device is busy. (unexpected) In this case mountpoint_last() gets an extra refcount on path->mnt Signed-off-by: Vasily Averin <vvs@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Ian Kent <raven@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@xxxxxxx> --- fs/namei.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/fs/namei.c b/fs/namei.c index 338d08b7eae2..e3249d565c95 100644 --- a/fs/namei.c +++ b/fs/namei.c @@ -2281,9 +2281,10 @@ done: goto out; } path->dentry = dentry; - path->mnt = mntget(nd->path.mnt); + path->mnt = nd->path.mnt; if (should_follow_link(dentry->d_inode, nd->flags & LOOKUP_FOLLOW)) return 1; + mntget(path->mnt); follow_mount(path); error = 0; out: -- 2.0.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
