Subject: [PATCH 00/17] mount: more bugfixes, the Oprah edition
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 15:31:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930-work-mount-fixes-3-v1-0-be34c83956ae@kernel.org> (raw)
Yet more bugfixes falling out of my recent work in this area:
- don't let a pseudo dentry become the root of a mount
- don't drop active namespace references that were never taken
- don't put a mountpoint on a dentry that's being removed
- detach the fsnotify connector before destroying its marks
- remove the fsnotify marks of a mount namespace in process context
- don't reconfigure internal superblocks via remount and umount
- check the mounts before reading their parents in pivot_root()
- look at the topmost mount for a mount namespace file
- keep covered mounts covered in OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE
- check a recursive bind mount for mount namespace loops
- check a submount for references right before unmounting it
- queue a mount only once for mount notifications
