This patch fixes a bug noticed by Al Viro:
However, we still have a problem here - just what would
happen if vfsmount is detached while we were grabbing namespace
semaphore? Refcount alone is not useful here - we might be held by
whoever had detached the vfsmount. IOW, we should check that it's
still attached (i.e. that mnt->mnt_parent != mnt). If it's not -
just leave it alone, do mntput() and let whoever holds it deal with
the sucker. No need to put it back on lists.

This patch splits the mark_mounts_for_expiry() function. It's too complex and
too deeply nested, even without the bugfix in the following patch.
Otherwise code is completely the same.

This patch simplifies mark_mounts_for_expiry() by using detach_mnt() instead
of duplicating everything it does.
It should be an equivalent transformation except for righting the dput/mntput
order.
Al Viro said: "Looks sane".

This patch fixes a race found by Ram in mark_mounts_for_expiry() in
fs/namespace.c.
The bug can only be triggered with simultaneous exiting of a process having
a private namespace, and expiry of a mount from within that namespace.
It's practically impossible to trigger, and I haven't even tried. But
still, a bug is a bug.
The race happens when put_namespace() is called by another task, while
mark_mounts_for_expiry() is between atomic_read() and get_namespace(). In
that case get_namespace() will be called on an already dead namespace with
unforeseeable results.
The solution was suggested by Al Viro, with his own words:
Instead of screwing with atomic_read() in there, why don't we
simply do the following:
a) atomic_dec_and_lock() in put_namespace()
b) __put_namespace() called without dropping lock
c) the first thing done by __put_namespace would be
struct vfsmount *root = namespace->root;
namespace->root = NULL;
spin_unlock(...);
....
umount_tree(root);
...
d) check in mark_... would be simply namespace && namespace->root.
And we are all set; no screwing around with atomic_read(), no magic
at all. Dying namespace gets NULL ->root.
All changes of ->root happen under spinlock.
If under a spinlock we see non-NULL ->mnt_namespace, it won't be
freed until we drop the lock (we will set ->mnt_namespace to NULL
under that lock before we get to freeing namespace).
If under a spinlock we see non-NULL ->mnt_namespace and
->mnt_namespace->root, we can grab a reference to namespace and be
sure that it won't go away.

This patch clears mnt_namespace on unmount.
Not clearing mnt_namespace has two effects:
1) It is possible to attach a new mount to a detached mount,
because check_mnt() returns true.
This means, that when no other references to the detached mount
remain, it still can't be freed. This causes a resource leak,
and possibly un-removable modules.
2) If mnt_namespace is dereferenced (only in mark_mounts_for_expiry())
after the namspace has been freed, it can cause an Oops, memory
corruption, etc.
1) has been tested before and after the patch, 2) is only speculation.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
