It looks to me like it's the vfsmount of the nd->root after we called
chroot or pivot_root.

Sorry for not replying to your earlier mail but I've been debugging this
too. My current theory is that it's related to LOOKUP_ROOT_GRABBED when
LOOKUP_CACHED is specified _possibly_ with an interaction how
create_io_thread() is created with CLONE_FS. The reproducer requires you
either have called pivot_root() or chroot() in order for the failure to
happen. So I think the fact that we skip legitimize_root() when
LOOKUP_CACHED is set might figure into this. I can keep digging.

Funny enough I already placed a printk statement into the place you
wanted one too so I just amended mine. Here's what you get:

If pivot pivot_root() is used before the chroot() you get:

[ 637.464555] AAAA: count(-1) | mnt_mntpoint(/) | mnt->mnt.mnt_root(/) | id(579) | dev(tmpfs)

if you only call chroot, i.e. make the pivot_root() branch a simple
if (true) you get:

[ 955.206117] AAAA: count(-2) | mnt_mntpoint(/) | mnt->mnt.mnt_root(/) | id(580) | dev(tmpfs)

The cat /proc/self/mountinfo is for the id(579) below:

Yeah, it's terrible to get an idea of what's going on in such produces.
I did the same exercise as you. I should probably have replied with all
of that data sooner so you wouldn't have to do the same shite I had to.
Oh well.

Yeah, I did that as well yesterday morning and it still triggers.
