fix EBUSY on umount() from MNT_SHRINKABLE
commit 81b6b061 upstream. We need the parents of victims alive until namespace_unlock() gets to dput() of the (ex-)mountpoints. However, that screws up the "is it busy" checks in case when we have shrinkable mounts that need to be killed. Solution: go ahead and decrement refcounts of parents right in umount_tree(), increment them again just before dropping rwsem in namespace_unlock() (and let the loop in the end of namespace_unlock() finally drop those references for good, as we do now). Parents can't get freed until we drop rwsem - at least one reference is kept until then, both in case when parent is among the victims and when it is not. So they'll still be around when we get to namespace_unlock(). Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
