    mnt: In propgate_umount handle visiting mounts in any order · 99b19d16
    Eric W. Biederman authored
    While investigating some poor umount performance I realized that in
    the case of overlapping mount trees where some of the mounts are locked
    the code has been failing to unmount all of the mounts it should
    have been unmounting.
    
    This failure to unmount all of the necessary
    mounts can be reproduced with:
    
    $ cat locked_mounts_test.sh
    
    mount -t tmpfs test-base /mnt
    mount --make-shared /mnt
    mkdir -p /mnt/b
    
    mount -t tmpfs test1 /mnt/b
    mount --make-shared /mnt/b
    mkdir -p /mnt/b/10
    
    mount -t tmpfs test2 /mnt/b/10
    mount --make-shared /mnt/b/10
    mkdir -p /mnt/b/10/20
    
    mount --rbind /mnt/b /mnt/b/10/20
    
    unshare -Urm --propagation unchaged /bin/sh -c 'sleep 5; if [ $(grep test /proc/self/mountinfo | wc -l) -eq 1 ] ; then echo SUCCESS ; else echo FAILURE ; fi'
    sleep 1
    umount -l /mnt/b
    wait %%
    
    $ unshare -Urm ./locked_mounts_test.sh
    
    This failure is corrected by removing the prepass that marks mounts
    that may be umounted.
    
    A first pass is added that umounts mounts if possible and if not sets
    mount mark if they could be unmounted if they weren't locked and adds
    them to a list to umount possibilities.  This first pass reconsiders
    the mounts parent if it is on the list of umount possibilities, ensuring
    that information of umoutability will pass from child to mount parent.
    
    A second pass then walks through all mounts that are umounted and processes
    their children unmounting them or marking them for reparenting.
    
    A last pass cleans up the state on the mounts that could not be umounted
    and if applicable reparents them to their first parent that remained
    mounted.
    
    While a bit longer than the old code this code is much more robust
    as it allows information to flow up from the leaves and down
    from the trunk making the order in which mounts are encountered
    in the umount propgation tree irrelevant.
