From: Al Viro <[email protected]> This patch does NOT apply to the 3.12 stable tree. If you still want it applied, please provide a backport.
=============== commit 81b6b06197606b4bef4e427a197aeb808e8d89e1 upstream. We need the parents of victims alive until namespace_unlock() gets to dput() of the (ex-)mountpoints. However, that screws up the "is it busy" checks in case when we have shrinkable mounts that need to be killed. Solution: go ahead and decrement refcounts of parents right in umount_tree(), increment them again just before dropping rwsem in namespace_unlock() (and let the loop in the end of namespace_unlock() finally drop those references for good, as we do now). Parents can't get freed until we drop rwsem - at least one reference is kept until then, both in case when parent is among the victims and when it is not. So they'll still be around when we get to namespace_unlock().
