Quoting Eric W. Biederman (ebied...@xmission.com):
>
> With the introduction of mount namespaces and bind mounts it became
> possible to access files and directories that on some paths are mount
> points but are not mount points on other paths. It is very confusing
> when rm -rf somedir returns -EBUSY simply because somedir is mounted
> somewhere else. With the addition of user namespaces allowing
> unprivileged mounts this condition has gone from annoying to allowing
> a DOS attack on other users in the system.
>
> The possibility for mischief is removed by updating the vfs to support
> rename, unlink and rmdir on a dentry that is a mountpoint and by
> lazily unmounting mountpoints on deleted dentries.
>
> In particular this change allows rename, unlink and rmdir system calls
> on a dentry without a mountpoint in the current mount namespace to
> succeed, and it allows rename, unlink, and rmdir performed on a
> distributed filesystem to update the vfs cache even if when there is a
> mount in some namespace on the original dentry.
>
> There are two common patterns of maintaining mounts: Mounts on trusted
> paths with the parent directory of the mount point and all ancestory
> directories up to / owned by root and modifiable only by root
> (i.e. /media/xxx, /dev, /dev/pts, /proc, /sys, /sys/fs/cgroup/{cpu,
> cpuacct, ...}, /usr, /usr/local). Mounts on unprivileged directories
> maintained by fusermount.
>
> In the case of mounts in trusted directories owned by root and
> modifiable only by root the current parent directory permissions are
> sufficient to ensure a mount point on a trusted path is not removed
> or renamed by anyone other than root, even if there is a context
> where the there are no mount points to prevent this.
>
> In the case of mounts in directories owned by less privileged users
> races with users modifying the path of a mount point are already a
> danger. fusermount already uses a combination of chdir,
> /proc/<pid>/fd/NNN, and UMOUNT_NOFOLLOW to prevent these races. The
> removable of global rename, unlink, and rmdir protection really adds
> nothing new to consider only a widening of the attack window, and
> fusermount is already safe against unprivileged users modifying the
> directory simultaneously.
>
> In principle for perfect userspace programs returning -EBUSY for
> unlink, rmdir, and rename of dentires that have mounts in the local
> namespace is actually unnecessary. Unfortunately not all userspace
> programs are perfect so retaining -EBUSY for unlink, rmdir and rename
> of dentries that have mounts in the current mount namespace plays an
> important role of maintaining consistency with historical behavior and
> making imperfect userspace applications hard to exploit.
>
> v2: Remove spurious old_dentry.
