Subject: [RFC][PATCH 30/30] r/o bind mounts: debugging for missed calls
Date: Fri, 08 Feb 2008 14:27:28 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080208222728.34C251B1@kernel> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080208222641.6024A7CC@kernel>


There have been a few oopses caused by 'struct file's with NULL f_vfsmnts. 
There was also a set of potentially missed mnt_want_write()s from
dentry_open() calls.

This patch provides a very simple debugging framework to catch these kinds of
bugs.  It will WARN_ON() them, but should stop us from having any oopses or
mnt_writer count imbalances.

I'm quite convinced that this is a good thing because it found bugs in the
stuff I was working on as soon as I wrote it.

[hch: made it conditional on a debug option.
      But it's still a little bit too ugly]

[hch: merged forced remount r/o fix from Dave and akpm's fix for the fix]
