Pull vfs mount updates from Al Viro:
- mount hash conflicts rudiments are gone now - we do not allow
multiple mounts with the same parent/mountpoint to be hashed at the
same time.
- 'struct mount' changes:
- mnt_umounting is gone
- mnt_slave_list/mnt_slave is an hlist now
- overmounts are kept track of by explicit pointer in mount
- a bunch of flags moved out of mnt_flags to a new field, with
only namespace_sem for protection
- mnt_expiry is protected by mount_lock now (instead of
namespace_sem)
- MNT_LOCKED is used only for mounts that need to remain attached
to their parents to prevent mountpoint exposure - no more
overloading it for absolute roots
- all mnt_list uses are transient now - it's used only to
represent temporary sets during umount_tree()
- mount refcounting change: children no longer pin parents for any
mounts, whether they'd passed through umount_tree() or not
- 'struct mountpoint' changes:
- refcount is no more; what matters is ->m_list emptiness
- instead of temporary bumping the refcount, we insert a new
object (pinned_mountpoint) into ->m_list
- new calling conventions for lock_mount() and friends
- do_move_mount()/attach_recursive_mnt() seriously cleaned up
- globals in fs/pnode.c are gone
- propagate_mnt(), change_mnt_propagation() and propagate_umount()
cleaned up (in the last case - pretty much completely rewritten).
- freeing of emptied mnt_namespace is done in namespace_unlock(). For
one thing, there are subtle ordering requirements there; for another
it simplifies cleanups.
- assorted cleanups
- restore the machinery for long-term mounts from accumulated bitrot.
This is going to get a followup come next cycle, when the change of
vfs_fs_parse_string() calling conventions goes into -next
* tag 'pull-mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (48 commits)
statmount_mnt_basic(): simplify the logics for group id
invent_group_ids(): zero ->mnt_group_id always implies !IS_MNT_SHARED()
get rid of CL_SHARE_TO_SLAVE
take freeing of emptied mnt_namespace to namespace_unlock()
copy_tree(): don't link the mounts via mnt_list
change_mnt_propagation(): move ->mnt_master assignment into MS_SLAVE case
mnt_slave_list/mnt_slave: turn into hlist_head/hlist_node
turn do_make_slave() into transfer_propagation()
do_make_slave(): choose new master sanely
change_mnt_propagation(): do_make_slave() is a no-op unless IS_MNT_SHARED()
change_mnt_propagation() cleanups, step 1
propagate_mnt(): fix comment and convert to kernel-doc, while we are at it
propagate_mnt(): get rid of last_dest
fs/pnode.c: get rid of globals
propagate_one(): fold into the sole caller
propagate_one(): separate the "what should be the master for this copy" part
propagate_one(): separate the "do we need secondary here?" logics
propagate_mnt(): handle all peer groups in the same loop
propagate_one(): get rid of dest_master
mount: separate the flags accessed only under namespace_sem

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
