At some point unmount() will If vfs_busy() is called without LK_NOWAIT and fs is being unmounted, then vfs_busy returns with ENOENT error, isn't it ?

How woken up process > can work with mount structure in vfs_busy() after wakeup(), which > could be already deallocated in vfs_mount_destroy()? vfs_busy() internally increases the ref count for mount point, so, it cannot be taken from under it (look for MNT_REF/MNT_REL). Simultameous entrance into the code in question in vfs_busy/vfs_mount_destroy is protected by mnt_mtx (MNT_ILOCK/MNT_IUNLOCK).
