Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 16:55:43 +0000	[thread overview]

> Replace the open-coded jump_up/follow_up loop of
> is_access_to_paths_allowed() with one vfs_walk_ancestors() call, moving
> the loop state into a struct passed to the callback.
> 
> follow_up() ignores the mount's disappearance, so a concurrent umount
> could make the walk operate on an unaccounted mount.  The walker steps
> with choose_mountpoint(), which revalidates against mount_lock.  The
> disconnected-directory handling is otherwise preserved: MNT_INTERNAL
> roots allow and stop, other disconnected roots resume at their mount
> root.  Rule evaluation is preserved exactly: disconnected roots that
> were positions of the old loop (the walk's start, the parent of a
> disconnected subtree) keep being matched against rules, while the
> disconnected mountpoints the walker newly visits on a mount crossing
> are skipped via VFS_WALK_POS_MOUNTPOINT, as the old loop never
> consulted them.
