[patch 3/6] fs: dcache remove d_mounted

From: npiggin
Date: Thu Oct 15 2009 - 02:06:16 EST


Rather than keep a d_mounted count in the dentry (which is only used to
speculatively take a look in the mount hash table if it is non-zero), set a
dentry flag instead. The flag can be cleared by checking the hash table to see
if there are any mounts left. It is not time critical because it is performed
at detach time.

This saves 4 bytes on 32-bit, nothing on 64-bit but it does provide a hole I
might use later (and some configs have larger than 32-bit spinlocks which might
make use of the hole).

Autofs4 conversion and changelog by Ian Kent <raven@xxxxxxxxxx>:
In autofs4, when expring direct (or offset) mounts we need to ensure that we
block user path walks into the autofs mount, which is covered by another mount.
To do this we clear the mounted status so that follows stop before walking into
the mount and are essentially blocked until the expire is completed. The
automount daemon still finds the correct dentry for the umount due to the
follow mount logic in fs/autofs4/root.c:autofs4_follow_link(), which is set as
an inode operation for direct and offset mounts only and is called following
the lookup that stopped at the covered mount.

At the end of the expire the covering mount probably has gone away so the
mounted status need not be restored. But we need to check this and only restore
the mounted status if the expire failed.
