vfs: check unlinked ancestors before mount
We check submounts before doing d_drop() on a non-empty directory dentry in NFS (have_submounts()), but we do not exclude a racing mount. Nor do we prevent mounts to be added to the disconnected subtree using relative paths after the d_drop(). This patch fixes these issues by checking for unlinked (unhashed, non-root) ancestors before proceeding with the mount. This is done with rename seqlock taken for write and with ->d_lock grabbed on each ancestor in turn, including our dentry itself. This ensures that the only one of check_submounts_and_drop() or has_unlinked_ancestor() can succeed. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
