commit 4fbc0c711b2464ee1551850b85002faae0b775d5 upstream. It's possible to pass the mount helper a server path that has more than one contiguous slash character. For example: $ mount -t ceph 192.168.195.165:40176:/// /mnt/cephfs/ In the MDS server side the extra slashes of the server path will be treated as snap dir, and then we can get the following debug logs: ceph: mount opening path // ceph: open_root_inode opening '//' ceph: fill_trace 0000000059b8a3bc is_dentry 0 is_target 1 ceph: alloc_inode 00000000dc4ca00b ceph: get_inode created new inode 00000000dc4ca00b 1.ffffffffffffffff ino 1 ceph: get_inode on 1=1.ffffffffffffffff got 00000000dc4ca00b And then when creating any new file or directory under the mount point, we can hit the following BUG_ON in ceph_fill_trace(): BUG_ON(ceph_snap(dir) != dvino.snap); Have the client ignore the extra slashes in the server path when mounting. This will also canonicalize the path, so that identical mounts can be consilidated. 1) "//mydir1///mydir//" 2) "/mydir1/mydir" 3) "/mydir1/mydir/" Regardless of the internal treatment of these paths, the kernel still stores the original string including the leading '/' for presentation to userland.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
