[PATCH] export: Fix rootdir corner case in next_mnt()

[PATCH] export: Fix rootdir corner case in next_mnt()

[Richard Weinberger]

Currently the following setup causes failure:

1. /etc/exports:
/ *(rw,crossmnt,no_subtree_check,fsid=root)

2. /etc/nfs.conf:
[exports]
 rootdir=/nfs_srv

3. Mounts:
/root/fs1.ext4 on /nfs_srv type ext4 (rw,relatime)
/root/fs2.ext4 on /nfs_srv/fs2 type ext4 (rw,relatime)

4. On the client:
$ ls /nfs_client/fs2
ls: cannot open directory '/nfs_client/fs2': Stale file handle

The problem is that next_mnt() misses the corner case that
every mount is a sub-mount of "/".
So it fails to see that /nfs_srv/fs2 is a mountpoint when the
client asks for fs2 it and as consequence the crossmnt mechanism
fails.
