b5fb63c183 fs: add nd_jump_link
Add a helper that abstracts out the jump to an already parsed struct path
from ->follow_link operation from procfs.  Not only does this clean up
the code by moving the two sides of this game into a single helper, but
it also prepares for making struct nameidata private to namei.c

408ef013cc fs: move path_put on failure out of ->follow_link
Currently the non-nd_set_link based versions of ->follow_link are expected
to do a path_put(&nd->path) on failure.  This calling convention is unexpected,
undocumented and doesn't match what the nd_set_link-based instances do.

Move the path_put out of the only non-nd_set_link based ->follow_link
instance into the caller.

79714f72d3 get rid of kern_path_parent()
all callers want the same thing, actually - a kinda-sorta analog of
kern_path_create().  I.e. they want parent vfsmount/dentry (with
->i_mutex held, to make sure the child dentry is still their child)
+ the child dentry.

1acf0af9b9 VFS: Fix the banner comment on lookup_open()
Since commit 197e37d9, the banner comment on lookup_open() no longer matches
what the function returns.  It used to return a struct file pointer or NULL and
now it returns an integer and is passed the struct file pointer it is to use
amongst its arguments.  Update the comment to reflect this.

Also add a banner comment to atomic_open().

d18e9008c3 vfs: add i_op->atomic_open()
Add a new inode operation which is called on the last component of an open.
Using this the filesystem can look up, possibly create and open the file in one
atomic operation.  If it cannot perform this (e.g. the file type turned out to
be wrong) it may signal this by returning NULL instead of an open struct file
pointer.

i_op->atomic_open() is only called if the last component is negative or needs
lookup.  Handling cached positive dentries here doesn't add much value: these
can be opened using f_op->open().  If the cached file turns out to be invalid,
the open can be retried, this time using ->atomic_open() with a fresh dentry.

For now leave the old way of using open intents in lookup and revalidate in
place.  This will be removed once all the users are converted.

David Howells noticed that if ->atomic_open() opens the file but does not create
it, handle_truncate() will be called on it even if it is not a regular file.
Fix this by checking the file type in this case too.

16b1c1cd71 vfs: retry last component if opening stale dentry
NFS optimizes away d_revalidates for last component of open.  This means that
open itself can find the dentry stale.

This patch allows the filesystem to return EOPENSTALE and the VFS will retry the
lookup on just the last component if possible.

If the lookup was done using RCU mode, including the last component, then this
is not possible since the parent dentry is lost.  In this case fall back to
non-RCU lookup.  Currently this is not used since NFS will always leave RCU
mode.

962830df36 brlocks/lglocks: API cleanups
lglocks and brlocks are currently generated with some complicated macros
in lglock.h.  But there's no reason to not just use common utility
functions and put all the data into a common data structure.

In preparation, this patch changes the API to look more like normal
function calls with pointers, not magic macros.

The patch is rather large because I move over all users in one go to keep
it bisectable.  This impacts the VFS somewhat in terms of lines changed.
But no actual behaviour change.

36126f8f2e word-at-a-time: make the interfaces truly generic
This changes the interfaces in <asm/word-at-a-time.h> to be a bit more
complicated, but a lot more generic.

In particular, it allows us to really do the operations efficiently on
both little-endian and big-endian machines, pretty much regardless of
machine details.  For example, if you can rely on a fast population
count instruction on your architecture, this will allow you to make your
optimized <asm/word-at-a-time.h> file with that.

NOTE! The "generic" version in include/asm-generic/word-at-a-time.h is
not truly generic, it actually only works on big-endian.  Why? Because
on little-endian the generic algorithms are wasteful, since you can
inevitably do better. The x86 implementation is an example of that.

(The only truly non-generic part of the asm-generic implementation is
the "find_zero()" function, and you could make a little-endian version
of it.  And if the Kbuild infrastructure allowed us to pick a particular
header file, that would be lovely)

The <asm/word-at-a-time.h> functions are as follows:

 - WORD_AT_A_TIME_CONSTANTS: specific constants that the algorithm
   uses.

 - has_zero(): take a word, and determine if it has a zero byte in it.
   It gets the word, the pointer to the constant pool, and a pointer to
   an intermediate "data" field it can set.

   This is the "quick-and-dirty" zero tester: it's what is run inside
   the hot loops.

 - "prep_zero_mask()": take the word, the data that has_zero() produced,
   and the constant pool, and generate an *exact* mask of which byte had
   the first zero.  This is run directly *outside* the loop, and allows
   the "has_zero()" function to answer the "is there a zero byte"
   question without necessarily getting exactly *which* byte is the
   first one to contain a zero.

   If you do multiple byte lookups concurrently (eg "hash_name()", which
   looks for both NUL and '/' bytes), after you've done the prep_zero_mask()
   phase, the result of those can be or'ed together to get the "either
   or" case.

 - The result from "prep_zero_mask()" can then be fed into "find_zero()"
   (to find the byte offset of the first byte that was zero) or into
   "zero_bytemask()" (to find the bytemask of the bytes preceding the
   zero byte).

   The existence of zero_bytemask() is optional, and is not necessary
   for the normal string routines.  But dentry name hashing needs it, so
   if you enable DENTRY_WORD_AT_A_TIME you need to expose it.

This changes the generic strncpy_from_user() function and the dentry
hashing functions to use these modified word-at-a-time interfaces.  This
gets us back to the optimized state of the x86 strncpy that we lost in
the previous commit when moving over to the generic version.

644473e9c6 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman:
 "This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can
  reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete
  implementation.

  Highlights:
   - Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and
     code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe.

   - Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the
     config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable
     user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission
     checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe.

   - All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial
     user namespace before they are processed.  Removing the need to add
     an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared
     uids remains the same.

   - With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or
     better than it is today.

   - For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or
     operationally with the user namespace enabled.

   - The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1
     billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code
     enabled.  This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to
     164ns per stat operation).

   - (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value.
     Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially
     anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause
     entertaining failures in userspace.

   - If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails.
     I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I
     could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and
     handle the case where setuid fails.

   - If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which
     we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid.  The LFS
     experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be
     better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I
     can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we
     can't map.

   - Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it
     safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.

  My git tree covers all of the modifications needed to convert the core

This teaches vfs_fstat() to use the appropriate f[get|put]_light

case.

More noticeably, it also cleans up and simplifies the "getname_flags()"
function, which now relies on the architecture strncpy_from_user() doing
all the user access checks properly, instead of hacking around the fact
that on x86 it didn't use to do it right (see commit 92ae03f2ef: "x86:
merge 32/64-bit versions of 'strncpy_from_user()' and speed it up").

12f8ad4b05 vfs: clean up __d_lookup_rcu() and dentry_cmp() interfaces
The calling conventions for __d_lookup_rcu() and dentry_cmp() are
annoying in different ways, and there is actually one single underlying
reason for both of the annoyances.

The fundamental reason is that we do the returned dentry sequence number
check inside __d_lookup_rcu() instead of doing it in the caller.  This
results in two annoyances:

 - __d_lookup_rcu() now not only needs to return the dentry and the
   sequence number that goes along with the lookup, it also needs to
   return the inode pointer that was validated by that sequence number
   check.

 - and because we did the sequence number check early (to validate the
   name pointer and length) we also couldn't just pass the dentry itself
   to dentry_cmp(), we had to pass the counted string that contained the
   name.

So that sequence number decision caused two separate ugly calling
conventions.

Both of these problems would be solved if we just did the sequence
number check in the caller instead.  There's only one caller, and that
caller already has to do the sequence number check for the parent
anyway, so just do that.

That allows us to stop returning the dentry->d_inode in that in-out
argument (pointer-to-pointer-to-inode), so we can make the inode
argument just a regular input inode pointer.  The caller can just load
the inode from dentry->d_inode, and then do the sequence number check
after that to make sure that it's synchronized with the name we looked
up.

And it allows us to just pass in the dentry to dentry_cmp(), which is
what all the callers really wanted.  Sure, dentry_cmp() has to be a bit
careful about the dentry (which is not stable during RCU lookup), but
that's actually very simple.

And now that dentry_cmp() can clearly see that the first string argument
is a dentry, we can use the direct word access for that, instead of the
careful unaligned zero-padding.  The dentry name is always properly
aligned, since it is a single path component that is either embedded
into the dentry itself, or was allocated with kmalloc() (see __d_alloc).

Finally, this also uninlines the nasty slow-case for dentry comparisons:
that one *does* need to do a sequence number check, since it will call
in to the low-level filesystems, and we want to give those a stable
inode pointer and path component length/start arguments.  Doing an extra
sequence check for that slow case is not a problem, though.

e419b4cc58 vfs: make word-at-a-time accesses handle a non-existing page
It turns out that there are more cases than CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC that
can have holes in the kernel address space: it seems to happen easily
with Xen, and it looks like the AMD gart64 code will also punch holes
dynamically.

Actually hitting that case is still very unlikely, so just do the
access, and take an exception and fix it up for the very unlikely case
of it being a page-crosser with no next page.

And hey, this abstraction might even help other architectures that have
other issues with unaligned word accesses than the possible missing next
page.  IOW, this could do the byte order magic too.

Peter Anvin fixed a thinko in the shifting for the exception case.

3f9f0aa687 VFS: clean up and simplify getname_flags()
This removes a number of silly games around strncpy_from_user() in
do_getname(), and removes that helper function entirely.  We instead
make getname_flags() just use strncpy_from_user() properly directly.

Removing the wrapper function simplifies things noticeably, mostly
because we no longer play the unnecessary games with segments (x86
strncpy_from_user() no longer needs the hack), but also because the
empty path handling is just much more obvious.  The return value of
"strncpy_to_user()" is much more obvious than checking an odd error
return case from do_getname().

[ non-x86 architectures were notified of this change several weeks ago,
  since it is possible that they have copied the old broken x86
  strncpy_from_user. But nobody reacted, so .. See

    http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-arch/msg17313.html

1a48e2ac03 userns: Replace the hard to write inode_userns with inode_capable.
This represents a change in strategy of how to handle user namespaces.
Instead of tagging everything explicitly with a user namespace and bulking
up all of the comparisons of uids and gids in the kernel,  all uids and gids
in use will have a mapping to a flat kuid and kgid spaces respectively.  This
allows much more of the existing logic to be preserved and in general
allows for faster code.

In this new and improved world we allow someone to utiliize capabilities
over an inode if the inodes owner mapps into the capabilities holders user
namespace and the user has capabilities in their user namespace.  Which
is simple and efficient.

Moving the fs uid comparisons to be comparisons in a flat kuid space
follows in later patches, something that is only significant if you
are using user namespaces.

f68e556e23 Make the "word-at-a-time" helper functions more commonly usable
I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these
same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses
them.  This is preparation for that.

This moves them into an architecture-specific header file.  It's
architecture-specific for two reasons:

 - some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific
   implementations.  Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in
   the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's
   likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation
   is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast
   bit count instruction, for example.

 - I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing
   around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in
   particular the actual unaligned accesses).  So we're likely to have
   more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using
   this.

   (and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using
   this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the
   right thing to do, of course)

b0e37d7ac6 Merge branch 'dcache-word-accesses'
* branch 'dcache-word-accesses':
  vfs: use 'unsigned long' accesses for dcache name comparison and hashing

This does the name hashing and lookup using word-sized accesses when
that is efficient, namely on x86 (although any little-endian machine
with good unaligned accesses would do).

It does very much depend on little-endian logic, but it's a very hot
couple of functions under some real loads, and this patch improves the
performance of __d_lookup_rcu() and link_path_walk() by up to about 30%.
Giving a 10% improvement on some very pathname-heavy benchmarks.

Because we do make unaligned accesses past the filename, the
optimization is disabled when CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is active, and we
effectively depend on the fact that on x86 we don't really ever have the
last page of usable RAM followed immediately by any IO memory (due to
ACPI tables, BIOS buffer areas etc).

Some of the bit operations we do are a bit "subtle".  It's commented,
but you do need to really think about the code.  Or just consider it
black magic.

Thanks to people on G+ for some of the optimized bit tricks.

200e9ef7ab vfs: split up name hashing in link_path_walk() into helper function
The code in link_path_walk() that finds out the length and the hash of
the next path component is some of the hottest code in the kernel.  And
I have a version of it that does things at the full width of the CPU
wordsize at a time, but that means that we *really* want to split it up
into a separate helper function.

So this re-organizes the code a bit and splits the hashing part into a
helper function called "hash_name()".  It returns the length of the
pathname component, while at the same time computing and writing the
hash to the appropriate location.

The code generation is slightly changed by this patch, but generally for
the better - and the added abstraction actually makes the code easier to
read too.  And the new interface is well suited for replacing just the
"hash_name()" function with alternative implementations.

0145acc202 vfs: uninline full_name_hash()
.. and also use it in lookup_one_len() rather than open-coding it.

There aren't any performance-critical users, so inlining it is silly.
But it wouldn't matter if it wasn't for the fact that the word-at-a-time
dentry name patches want to conditionally replace the function, and
uninlining it sets the stage for that.

So again, this is a preparatory patch that doesn't change any semantics,
and only prepares for a much cleaner and testable word-at-a-time dentry
name accessor patch.

a3fbbde70a VFS: we need to set LOOKUP_JUMPED on mountpoint crossing
Mountpoint crossing is similar to following procfs symlinks - we do
not get ->d_revalidate() called for dentry we have arrived at, with
unpleasant consequences for NFS4.

Simple way to reproduce the problem in mainline:

    cat >/tmp/a.c <<'EOF'
    #include <unistd.h>
    #include <fcntl.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    main()
    {
            struct flock fl = {.l_type = F_RDLCK, .l_whence = SEEK_SET, .l_len = 1};
            if (fcntl(0, F_SETLK, &fl))
                    perror("setlk");
    }
    EOF
    cc /tmp/a.c -o /tmp/test

then on nfs4:

    mount --bind file1 file2
    /tmp/test < file1		# ok
    /tmp/test < file2		# spews "setlk: No locks available"...

What happens is the missing call of ->d_revalidate() after mountpoint
crossing and that's where NFS4 would issue OPEN request to server.

The fix is simple - treat mountpoint crossing the same way we deal with
following procfs-style symlinks.  I.e.  set LOOKUP_JUMPED...

1fa1e7f615 readlinkat: ensure we return ENOENT for the empty pathname for normal lookups
Since the commit below which added O_PATH support to the *at() calls, the
error return for readlink/readlinkat for the empty pathname has switched
from ENOENT to EINVAL:

  commit 65cfc67223
  Author: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
  Date:   Sun Mar 13 15:56:26 2011 -0400

    readlinkat(), fchownat() and fstatat() with empty relative pathnames

This is both unexpected for userspace and makes readlink/readlinkat
inconsistant with all other interfaces; and inconsistant with our stated
return for these pathnames.

As the readlinkat call does not have a flags parameter we cannot use the
AT_EMPTY_PATH approach used in the other calls.  Therefore expose whether
the original path is infact entry via a new user_path_at_empty() path
lookup function.  Use this to determine whether to default to EINVAL or
ENOENT for failures.

f3c7691e8d leases: fix write-open/read-lease race
In setlease, we use i_writecount to decide whether we can give out a
read lease.

In open, we break leases before incrementing i_writecount.

There is therefore a window between the break lease and the i_writecount
increment when setlease could add a new read lease.

This would leave us with a simultaneous write open and read lease, which
shouldn't happen.

b6c8069d35 vfs: remove LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag
That flag no longer makes sense, since we don't look up automount points
as eagerly any more.  Additionally, it turns out that the NO_AUTOMOUNT
handling was buggy to begin with: it would avoid automounting even for
cases where we really *needed* to do the automount handling, and could
return ENOENT for autofs entries that hadn't been instantiated yet.

With our new non-eager automount semantics, one discussion has been
about adding a AT_AUTOMOUNT flag to vfs_fstatat (and thus the
newfstatat() and fstatat64() system calls), but it's probably not worth
it: you can always force at least directory automounting by simply
adding the final '/' to the filename, which works for *all* of the stat
family system calls, old and new.

So AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT (and thus LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT) really were just a
result of our bad default behavior.

d94c177bee vfs pathname lookup: Add LOOKUP_AUTOMOUNT flag
Since we've now turned around and made LOOKUP_FOLLOW *not* force an
automount, we want to add the ability to force an automount event on
lookup even if we don't happen to have one of the other flags that force
it implicitly (LOOKUP_OPEN, LOOKUP_DIRECTORY, LOOKUP_PARENT..)

Most cases will never want to use this, since you'd normally want to
delay automounting as long as possible, which usually implies
LOOKUP_OPEN (when we open a file or directory, we really cannot avoid
the automount any more).

But Trond argued sufficiently forcefully that at a minimum bind mounting
a file and quotactl will want to force the automount lookup.  Some other
cases (like nfs_follow_remote_path()) could use it too, although
LOOKUP_DIRECTORY would work there as well.

This commit just adds the flag and logic, no users yet, though.  It also
doesn't actually touch the LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag that is related, and
was made irrelevant by the same change that made us not follow on
LOOKUP_FOLLOW.

0ec26fd069 vfs: automount should ignore LOOKUP_FOLLOW
Prior to 2.6.38 automount would not trigger on either stat(2) or
lstat(2) on the automount point.

After 2.6.38, with the introduction of the ->d_automount()
infrastructure, stat(2) and others would start triggering automount
while lstat(2), etc. still would not.  This is a regression and a
userspace ABI change.

Problem originally reported here:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.autofs/6098

It appears that there was an attempt at fixing various userspace tools
to not trigger the automount.  But since the stat system call is
rather common it is impossible to "fix" all userspace.

This patch reverts the original behavior, which is to not trigger on
stat(2) and other symlink following syscalls.

[ It's not really clear what the right behavior is.  Apparently Solaris
  does the "automount on stat, leave alone on lstat".  And some programs
  can get unhappy when "stat+open+fstat" ends up giving a different
  result from the fstat than from the initial stat.

  But the change in 2.6.38 resulted in problems for some people, so
  we're going back to old behavior.  Maybe we can re-visit this
  discussion at some future date  - Linus ]

3ddcd0569c vfs: optimize inode cache access patterns
The inode structure layout is largely random, and some of the vfs paths
really do care.  The path lookup in particular is already quite D$
intensive, and profiles show that accessing the 'inode->i_op->xyz'
fields is quite costly.

We already optimized the dcache to not unnecessarily load the d_op
structure for members that are often NULL using the DCACHE_OP_xyz bits
in dentry->d_flags, and this does something very similar for the inode
ops that are used during pathname lookup.

It also re-orders the fields so that the fields accessed by 'stat' are
together at the beginning of the inode structure, and roughly in the
order accessed.

The effect of this seems to be in the 1-2% range for an empty kernel
"make -j" run (which is fairly kernel-intensive, mostly in filename
lookup), so it's visible.  The numbers are fairly noisy, though, and
likely depend a lot on exact microarchitecture.  So there's more tuning
to be done.

4e34e719e4 fs: take the ACL checks to common code
Replace the ->check_acl method with a ->get_acl method that simply reads an
ACL from disk after having a cache miss.  This means we can replace the ACL
checking boilerplate code with a single implementation in namei.c.

e77819e57f vfs: move ACL cache lookup into generic code
This moves logic for checking the cached ACL values from low-level
filesystems into generic code.  The end result is a streamlined ACL
check that doesn't need to load the inode->i_op->check_acl pointer at
all for the common cached case.

The filesystems also don't need to check for a non-blocking RCU walk
case in their acl_check() functions, because that is all handled at a
VFS layer.

capability overrides apply only to the default case; if fs has ->permission()
that does _not_ call generic_permission(), we have no business doing them.
Moreover, if it has ->permission() that does call generic_permission(), we
have no need to recheck capabilities.

Besides, the capability overrides should apply only if we got EACCES from
acl_permission_check(); any other value (-EIO, etc.) should be returned
to caller, capabilities or not capabilities.

44396f4b5c fs: add a DCACHE_NEED_LOOKUP flag for d_flags
Btrfs (and I'd venture most other fs's) stores its indexes in nice disk order
for readdir, but unfortunately in the case of anything that stats the files in
order that readdir spits back (like oh say ls) that means we still have to do
the normal lookup of the file, which means looking up our other index and then
looking up the inode.  What I want is a way to create dummy dentries when we
find them in readdir so that when ls or anything else subsequently does a
stat(), we already have the location information in the dentry and can go
straight to the inode itself.  The lookup stuff just assumes that if it finds a
dentry it is done, it doesn't perform a lookup.  So add a DCACHE_NEED_LOOKUP
flag so that the lookup code knows it still needs to run i_op->lookup() on the
parent to get the inode for the dentry.  I have tested this with btrfs and I
went from something that looks like this

8aef188452 VFS: Fix vfsmount overput on simultaneous automount
[Kudos to dhowells for tracking that crap down]

If two processes attempt to cause automounting on the same mountpoint at the
same time, the vfsmount holding the mountpoint will be left with one too few
references on it, causing a BUG when the kernel tries to clean up.

The problem is that lock_mount() drops the caller's reference to the
mountpoint's vfsmount in the case where it finds something already mounted on
the mountpoint as it transits to the mounted filesystem and replaces path->mnt
with the new mountpoint vfsmount.

During a pathwalk, however, we don't take a reference on the vfsmount if it is
the same as the one in the nameidata struct, but do_add_mount() doesn't know
this.

The fix is to make sure we have a ref on the vfsmount of the mountpoint before
calling do_add_mount().  However, if lock_mount() doesn't transit, we're then
left with an extra ref on the mountpoint vfsmount which needs releasing.
We can handle that in follow_managed() by not making assumptions about what
we can and what we cannot get from lookup_mnt() as the current code does.

The callers of follow_managed() expect that reference to path->mnt will be
grabbed iff path->mnt has been changed.  follow_managed() and follow_automount()
keep track of whether such reference has been grabbed and assume that it'll
happen in those and only those cases that'll have us return with changed
path->mnt.  That assumption is almost correct - it breaks in case of
racing automounts and in even harder to hit race between following a mountpoint
and a couple of mount --move.  The thing is, we don't need to make that
assumption at all - after the end of loop in follow_manage() we can check
if path->mnt has ended up unchanged and do mntput() if needed.

The BUG can be reproduced with the following test program:

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <sys/types.h>
	#include <sys/stat.h>
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <sys/wait.h>
	int main(int argc, char **argv)
	{
		int pid, ws;
		struct stat buf;
		pid = fork();
		stat(argv[1], &buf);
		if (pid > 0) wait(&ws);
		return 0;
	}

and the following procedure:

 (1) Mount an NFS volume that on the server has something else mounted on a
     subdirectory.  For instance, I can mount / from my server:

	mount warthog:/ /mnt -t nfs4 -r

     On the server /data has another filesystem mounted on it, so NFS will see
     a change in FSID as it walks down the path, and will mark /mnt/data as
     being a mountpoint.  This will cause the automount code to be triggered.

     !!! Do not look inside the mounted fs at this point !!!

 (2) Run the above program on a file within the submount to generate two
     simultaneous automount requests:

	/tmp/forkstat /mnt/data/testfile

 (3) Unmount the automounted submount:

	umount /mnt/data

 (4) Unmount the original mount:

	umount /mnt

     At this point the kernel should throw a BUG with something like the
     following:

	BUG: Dentry ffff880032e3c5c0{i=2,n=} still in use (1) [unmount of nfs4 0:12]

Note that the bug appears on the root dentry of the original mount, not the
mountpoint and not the submount because sys_umount() hasn't got to its final
mntput_no_expire() yet, but this isn't so obvious from the call trace:

 [<ffffffff8117cd82>] shrink_dcache_for_umount+0x69/0x82

 [<ffffffff8109e1ca>] ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0x1fd/0x22f
 [<ffffffff816ea86b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

as do_umount() is inlined.  However, you can see release_mounts() in there.

Note also that it may be necessary to have multiple CPU cores to be able to
trigger this bug.
