4.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 6a46c5735c29175da55b2fa9d53775182422cdd7 upstream. For future use factor out a function umount_mnt from umount_tree. This function unhashes a mount and remembers where the mount was mounted so that eventually when the code makes it to a sleeping context the mountpoint can be dput. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
