If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Christian Brauner [ Upstream commit 2d2a2d7aa98741b58f54cacc99b52024e4d865f9 ] iterate_supers_type() drops sb_lock while invoking the callback and keeps only a passive reference to the current superblock. That reference keeps the object allocated, but does not keep its s_instances node linked. After the iterator releases s_umount, final teardown can unlink the current s_instances node. The iterator then advances through a reinitialized node. With the current hlist it stops without visiting the remaining superblocks. The unlink moved from generic_shutdown_super() to kill_super_notify(), but the cursor lifetime has been unsafe since the helper was introduced. The CIFS DFS lookup can consequently miss a matching superblock and return -EINVAL. Move removal from fs_supers to put_super(), alongside removal from super_blocks, so a passive reference keeps both list nodes linked. Keep the filesystem module reference until then, since unlinking s_instances may touch type->fs_supers. Make sget_fc() skip SB_DEAD superblocks before invoking test(), and set SB_DEAD under sb_lock to serialize with those callbacks. This allows kernfs to free its private information after kill_anon_super() returns. Keep matching SB_DYING superblocks until SB_DEAD is set so concurrent mounts still wait for teardown before retrying.
