Duplicate inode number between mounted directories.

Example)
# cd /home
# mkdir a b
# ls -i
100 a  999 b
# mount --bind a /mnt
# mount --bind b /mnt
# ls -i
999 a  999 b
	
Inode number of directory "a" is changed to "b".
Then we see directory "b" when ls "a".

/root/mnt.stp is following.

In result of script,
Kernel creates many same structs of mount, It looks waste of memory.
But I don't know whether it is correct specification or not.

================================================================
# cat /root/mnt.stp
#! /usr/bin/stap

probe kernel.function("alloc_vfsmnt").return {
    printf("%s() new_mnt:%p\n", probefunc(), $return);
}

probe kernel.function("clone_mnt").return {    // do_mount, copy_tree
    name = @cast($return, "mount")->mnt_mountpoint->d_iname;
    inode = @cast($return, "mount")->mnt_mountpoint->d_inode;
    ino = @cast($return, "mount")->mnt_mountpoint->d_inode->i_ino;
    printf("%s() mnt:%p d_iname:%s inode:%p ino:%u\n", probefunc(), 
$return, kernel_string(name), inode, ino);
}

================================================================
