[PATCH v4 4/5] virtiofs: Skip submounts in sget_fc()

[Greg Kurz]

All submounts share the same virtio-fs device instance as the root
mount. If the same virtiofs filesystem is mounted again, sget_fc()
is likely to pick up any of these submounts and reuse it instead of
the root mount.

On the server side:

# mkdir ${some_dir}
# mkdir ${some_dir}/mnt1
# mount -t tmpfs none ${some_dir}/mnt1
# touch ${some_dir}/mnt1/THIS_IS_MNT1
# mkdir ${some_dir}/mnt2
# mount -t tmpfs none ${some_dir}/mnt2
# touch ${some_dir}/mnt2/THIS_IS_MNT2

On the client side:

# mkdir /mnt/virtiofs1
# mount -t virtiofs myfs /mnt/virtiofs1
# ls /mnt/virtiofs1
mnt1 mnt2
# grep virtiofs /proc/mounts
myfs /mnt/virtiofs1 virtiofs rw,seclabel,relatime 0 0
none on /mnt/mnt1 type virtiofs (rw,relatime,seclabel)
none on /mnt/mnt2 type virtiofs (rw,relatime,seclabel)

And now remount it again:

# mount -t virtiofs myfs /mnt/virtiofs2
# grep virtiofs /proc/mounts
myfs /mnt/virtiofs1 virtiofs rw,seclabel,relatime 0 0
none on /mnt/mnt1 type virtiofs (rw,relatime,seclabel)
none on /mnt/mnt2 type virtiofs (rw,relatime,seclabel)
myfs /mnt/virtiofs2 virtiofs rw,seclabel,relatime 0 0
# ls /mnt/virtiofs2
THIS_IS_MNT2

Submount mnt2 was picked-up instead of the root mount.

Just skip submounts in virtio_fs_test_super().
