[RFC PATCH ghak100 V1 0/2] audit: avoid umount hangs on missing mount

[Richard Guy Briggs]

On user and remote filesystems, a forced umount can still hang due to
attemting to fetch the fcaps of a mounted filesystem that is no longer
available.

These two patches take different approaches to address this, one by
avoiding the lookup when the MNT_FORCE flag is included, the other by
providing a method to filter out auditing specified types of filesystems.

This can happen on ceph, cifs, 9p, lustre, fuse (gluster) or NFS.

Arguably the better way to address this issue is to disable auditing
processes that touch removable filesystems.
