[PATCH 0/5 v4] NFSD: Pin to vfsmount for nfsd exports cache

[Kinglong Mee]

If there are some mount points(not exported for nfs) under pseudo root,
after client's operation of those entry under the root, anyone *can't*
unmount those mount points until export cache expired.

# cat /etc/exports

# umount /nfs/test/
umount: /nfs/test/: target is busy
        (In some cases useful info about processes that
         use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1).)

It's caused by exports cache of nfsd holds the reference of
the path (here is /nfs/test/), so, it can't be umounted.

I don't think that's user expect, they want umount /nfs/test/.
Bruce think user can also umount /nfs/pnfs/ and /nfs/xfs.

This patch site lets nfsd exports pinning to vfsmount, 
not using mntget, so user can umount any exports mountpoint now.

v3, 
1. New helpers path_get_pin/path_put_unpin for path pin.
2. Use kzalloc for allocating memory.

v4, Thanks for Al Viro's commets for the logic of fs_pin.
1. add a completion for pin_kill waiting the reference is decreased to zero.
2. add a work_struct for pin_kill decreases the reference indirectly.
3. free svc_export/svc_expkey in pin_kill, not svc_export_put/svc_expkey_put.
4. svc_export_put/svc_expkey_put go though pin_kill logic.

Kinglong Mee (5):
  fs_pin: Initialize value for fs_pin explicitly
  fs_pin: Export functions for specific filesystem
  path: New helpers path_get_pin/path_put_unpin for path pin
  sunrpc: New helper cache_force_expire for cache cleanup
  nfsd: Allows user un-mounting filesystem where nfsd exports base on
