Get "device is busy" when umounting nfsv4 file

Get "device is busy" when umounting nfsv4 file

[Kinglong Mee]

When using NFSv4 on Fedora 20 with latest kernel (3.15.0-rc6+), 
I can't umount the mountpoint after only an 'ls' operation.

[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/exports
/nfstest        *(rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,insecure)
[root@localhost ~]# mount -t nfs 127.0.0.1:/ /mnt/
[root@localhost ~]# ls /mnt/
nfstest
[root@localhost ~]# umount /mnt/
umount.nfs4: /mnt: device is busy

Trying it on rhel7 with 3.10.0-121.el7.x86_64, 
also got "device is busy".
[root@localhost ~]# umount /mnt/
umount.nfs4: /mnt: device is busy

Maybe this problem has exist a long time.

I find thant -EBUSY errno is return at,

"fs/namespace.c"
1284 static int do_umount(struct mount *mnt, int flags)
1285 {
1286         struct super_block *sb = mnt->mnt.mnt_sb;
......
1358         if (flags & MNT_DETACH) {
1359                 if (!list_empty(&mnt->mnt_list))
1360                         umount_tree(mnt, 2);
1361                 retval = 0;
1362         } else {
1363                 shrink_submounts(mnt);
1364                 retval = -EBUSY;
1365                 if (!propagate_mount_busy(mnt, 2)) {

propagate_mount_busy return 1 for mnt's refcnt is 3 (bigger than 2).

1366                         if (!list_empty(&mnt->mnt_list))
1367                                 umount_tree(mnt, 1);
1368                         retval = 0;
1369                 }
1370         }
