[PATCH 3.11 115/137] fs: umount on symlink leaks mnt count

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



3.11.10.15 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vasily Averin <vvs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 295dc39d941dc2ae53d5c170365af4c9d5c16212 upstream.

Currently umount on symlink blocks following umount:

/vz is separate mount

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: /vz/testlink: not mounted (expected)

umount: /vz: device is busy. (unexpected)

In this case mountpoint_last() gets an extra refcount on path->mnt
