Subject: [PATCH 2/4] propagate_umount(): only surviving overmounts should be remounted
Date: Sat, 16 Aug 2025 00:34:50 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250815233450.GB2117906@ZenIV> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250815233316.GS222315@ZenIV>
... as the comments in reparent() clearly say. As it is, we reparent
*all* overmounts of the mounts being taken out, including those that
are taken out themselves. It's not only a potentially massive slowdown
(on a pathological setup we might end up with O(N^2) time for N mounts
being kicked out), it can end up with incorrect ->overmount in the
surviving mounts.
Fixes: f0d0ba19985d "Rewrite of propagate_umount()"
