The loops in follow_dotdot{_rcu()} are doing the same thing: we have a mount and we want to find out how far up the chain of mounts do we need to go. We follow the chain of mount until we find one that is not directly overmounting the root of another mount. If such a mount is found, we want the location it's mounted upon. If we run out of chain (i.e. get to a mount that is not mounted on anything else) or run into process' root, we report failure. On success, we want (in RCU case) d_seq of resulting location sampled or (in non-RCU case) references to that location acquired. This commit introduces such primitive for RCU case and switches follow_dotdot_rcu() to it; non-RCU case will be go in the next commit. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
