RCU pathwalk breakage when running into a symlink overmounting something Calling unlazy_walk() in walk_component() and do_last() when we find a symlink that needs to be followed doesn't acquire a reference to vfsmount. That's fine when the symlink is on the same vfsmount as the parent directory (which is almost always the case), but it's not always true - one _can_ manage to bind a symlink on top of something. And in such cases we end up with excessive mntput(). Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # since 2.6.39 Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
