Subject: [PATCH 30/30] r/o bind mounts: debugging for missed calls
Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2008 14:38:01 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080215223801.E569A121@kernel> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080215223721.9E0A088A@kernel>
There have been a few oopses caused by 'struct file's with NULL f_vfsmnts.
There was also a set of potentially missed mnt_want_write()s from
dentry_open() calls.
This patch provides a very simple debugging framework to catch these kinds of
bugs. It will WARN_ON() them, but should stop us from having any oopses or
mnt_writer count imbalances.
I'm quite convinced that this is a good thing because it found bugs in the
stuff I was working on as soon as I wrote it.
[hch: made it conditional on a debug option.
But it's still a little bit too ugly]
[hch: merged forced remount r/o fix from Dave and akpm's fix for the fix]
