... and get rid of a bunch of bugs in it. Background: the reason for path_mountpoint() is that umount() really doesn't want attempts to revalidate the root of what it's trying to umount. The thing we want to avoid actually happen from complete_walk(); solution was to do something parallel to normal path_lookupat() and it both went overboard and got the boilerplate subtly (and not so subtly) wrong. A better solution is to do pretty much what the normal path_lookupat() does, but instead of complete_walk() do unlazy_walk(). All it takes to avoid that ->d_weak_revalidate() call... mountpoint_last() goes away, along with everything it got wrong, and so does the magic around LOOKUP_NO_REVAL. Another source of bugs is that when we traverse mounts at the final location (and we need to do that - umount . expects to get whatever's overmounting ., if any, out of the lookup) we really ought to take care of ->d_manage() - as it is, manual umount of autofs automount in progress can lead to unpleasant surprises for the daemon. Easily solved by using handle_lookup_down() instead of follow_mount(). Tested-by: Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
