From: Miklos Szeredi <mszer...@suse.cz>
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 after setting
DCACHE_MOUNTED on the soon-to-be mountpoint and with the rename seqlock
taken for write. This ensures that the only one of
check_submounts_and_drop() or has_unlinked_ancestor() can succeed.
