... to protect the modification of mp-&gt;m_count done by it.  Most of
the places that modify that thing also have namespace_lock held,
but not all of them can do so, so we really need mount_lock here.
Kudos to Piotr Krysiuk &lt;piotras@gmail.com&gt;, who'd spotted a related
bug in pivot_root(2) (fixed unnoticed in 5.3); search for other
similar turds has caught out this one.

When propagating mounts across mount namespaces owned by different user
namespaces it is not possible anymore to move or umount the mount in the
less privileged mount namespace.

Here is a reproducer:

  sudo mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /mnt
  sudo --make-rshared /mnt

  # create unprivileged user + mount namespace and preserve propagation
  unshare -U -m --map-root --propagation=unchanged

  # now change back to the original mount namespace in another terminal:
  sudo mkdir /mnt/aaa
  sudo mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /mnt/aaa

  # now in the unprivileged user + mount namespace
  mount --move /mnt/aaa /opt

Unfortunately, this is a pretty big deal for userspace since this is
e.g. used to inject mounts into running unprivileged containers.
So this regression really needs to go away rather quickly.

The problem is that a recent change falsely locked the root of the newly
added mounts by setting MNT_LOCKED. Fix this by only locking the mounts
on copy_mnt_ns() and not when adding a new mount.

Andrei Vagin pointed out that time to executue propagate_umount can go
non-linear (and take a ludicrious amount of time) when the mount
propogation trees of the mounts to be unmunted by a lazy unmount
overlap.

Make the walk of the mount propagation trees nearly linear by
remembering which mounts have already been visited, allowing
subsequent walks to detect when walking a mount propgation tree or a
subtree of a mount propgation tree would be duplicate work and to skip
them entirely.

Walk the list of mounts whose propgatation trees need to be traversed
from the mount highest in the mount tree to mounts lower in the mount
tree so that odds are higher that the code will walk the largest trees
first, allowing later tree walks to be skipped entirely.

Add cleanup_umount_visitation to remover the code's memory of which
mounts have been visited.

Add the functions last_slave and skip_propagation_subtree to allow
skipping appropriate parts of the mount propagation tree without
needing to change the logic of the rest of the code.

A script to generate overlapping mount propagation trees:

$ cat runs.h
set -e
mount -t tmpfs zdtm /mnt
mkdir -p /mnt/1 /mnt/2
mount -t tmpfs zdtm /mnt/1
mount --make-shared /mnt/1
mkdir /mnt/1/1

iteration=10
if [ -n "$1" ] ; then
	iteration=$1
fi

for i in $(seq $iteration); do
	mount --bind /mnt/1/1 /mnt/1/1
done

mount --rbind /mnt/1 /mnt/2

TIMEFORMAT='%Rs'
nr=$(( ( 2 ** ( $iteration + 1 ) ) + 1 ))
echo -n "umount -l /mnt/1 -&gt; $nr        "
time umount -l /mnt/1

nr=$(cat /proc/self/mountinfo | grep zdtm | wc -l )
time umount -l /mnt/2

$ for i in $(seq 9 19); do echo $i; unshare -Urm bash ./run.sh $i; done

Here are the performance numbers with and without the patch:

<id>99b19d16471e9c3faa85cad38abc9cbbe04c6d55</id>
<content type='text'>
While investigating some poor umount performance I realized that in
the case of overlapping mount trees where some of the mounts are locked
the code has been failing to unmount all of the mounts it should
have been unmounting.

This failure to unmount all of the necessary
mounts can be reproduced with:

$ cat locked_mounts_test.sh

mount -t tmpfs test-base /mnt
mount --make-shared /mnt
mkdir -p /mnt/b

mount -t tmpfs test1 /mnt/b
mount --make-shared /mnt/b
mkdir -p /mnt/b/10

mount -t tmpfs test2 /mnt/b/10
mount --make-shared /mnt/b/10
mkdir -p /mnt/b/10/20

mount --rbind /mnt/b /mnt/b/10/20

unshare -Urm --propagation unchaged /bin/sh -c 'sleep 5; if [ $(grep test /proc/self/mountinfo | wc -l) -eq 1 ] ; then echo SUCCESS ; else echo FAILURE ; fi'
sleep 1
umount -l /mnt/b
wait %%

$ unshare -Urm ./locked_mounts_test.sh

This failure is corrected by removing the prepass that marks mounts
that may be umounted.

A first pass is added that umounts mounts if possible and if not sets
mount mark if they could be unmounted if they weren't locked and adds
them to a list to umount possibilities.  This first pass reconsiders
the mounts parent if it is on the list of umount possibilities, ensuring
that information of umoutability will pass from child to mount parent.

A second pass then walks through all mounts that are umounted and processes
their children unmounting them or marking them for reparenting.

A last pass cleans up the state on the mounts that could not be umounted
and if applicable reparents them to their first parent that remained
mounted.

While a bit longer than the old code this code is much more robust
as it allows information to flow up from the leaves and down
from the trunk making the order in which mounts are encountered
in the umount propgation tree irrelevant.

It was observed that in some pathlogical cases that the current code
does not unmount everything it should.  After investigation it
was determined that the issue is that mnt_change_mntpoint can
can change which mounts are available to be unmounted during mount
propagation which is wrong.

The trivial reproducer is:
$ cat ./pathological.sh

mount -t tmpfs test-base /mnt
cd /mnt
mkdir 1 2 1/1
mount --bind 1 1
mount --make-shared 1
mount --bind 1 2
mount --bind 1/1 1/1
mount --bind 1/1 1/1
echo
grep test-base /proc/self/mountinfo
umount 1/1
echo
grep test-base /proc/self/mountinfo

$ unshare -Urm ./pathological.sh

The expected output looks like:
46 31 0:25 / /mnt rw,relatime - tmpfs test-base rw,uid=1000,gid=1000
47 46 0:25 /1 /mnt/1 rw,relatime shared:1 - tmpfs test-base rw,uid=1000,gid=1000
48 46 0:25 /1 /mnt/2 rw,relatime shared:1 - tmpfs test-base rw,uid=1000,gid=1000
49 54 0:25 /1/1 /mnt/1/1 rw,relatime shared:1 - tmpfs test-base rw,uid=1000,gid=1000
50 53 0:25 /1/1 /mnt/2/1 rw,relatime shared:1 - tmpfs test-base rw,uid=1000,gid=1000
51 49 0:25 /1/1 /mnt/1/1 rw,relatime shared:1 - tmpfs test-base rw,uid=1000,gid=1000
54 47 0:25 /1/1 /mnt/1/1 rw,relatime shared:1 - tmpfs test-base rw,uid=1000,gid=1000
53 48 0:25 /1/1 /mnt/2/1 rw,relatime shared:1 - tmpfs test-base rw,uid=1000,gid=1000
52 50 0:25 /1/1 /mnt/2/1 rw,relatime shared:1 - tmpfs test-base rw,uid=1000,gid=1000

46 31 0:25 / /mnt rw,relatime - tmpfs test-base rw,uid=1000,gid=1000
47 46 0:25 /1 /mnt/1 rw,relatime shared:1 - tmpfs test-base rw,uid=1000,gid=1000
48 46 0:25 /1 /mnt/2 rw,relatime shared:1 - tmpfs test-base rw,uid=1000,gid=1000

The output without the fix looks like:
46 31 0:25 / /mnt rw,relatime - tmpfs test-base rw,uid=1000,gid=1000
47 46 0:25 /1 /mnt/1 rw,relatime shared:1 - tmpfs test-base rw,uid=1000,gid=1000

52 50 0:25 /1/1 /mnt/2/1 rw,relatime shared:1 - tmpfs test-base rw,uid=1000,gid=1000

46 31 0:25 / /mnt rw,relatime - tmpfs test-base rw,uid=1000,gid=1000
47 46 0:25 /1 /mnt/1 rw,relatime shared:1 - tmpfs test-base rw,uid=1000,gid=1000

52 48 0:25 /1/1 /mnt/2/1 rw,relatime shared:1 - tmpfs test-base rw,uid=1000,gid=1000

That last mount in the output was in the propgation tree to be unmounted but
was missed because the mnt_change_mountpoint changed it's parent before the walk
through the mount propagation tree observed it.

Ever since mount propagation was introduced in cases where a mount in
propagated to parent mount mountpoint pair that is already in use the
code has placed the new mount behind the old mount in the mount hash
table.

This implementation detail is problematic as it allows creating
arbitrary length mount hash chains.

Furthermore it invalidates the constraint maintained elsewhere in the
mount code that a parent mount and a mountpoint pair will have exactly
one mount upon them.  Making it hard to deal with and to talk about
this special case in the mount code.

Modify mount propagation to notice when there is already a mount at
the parent mount and mountpoint where a new mount is propagating to
and place that preexisting mount on top of the new mount.

Modify unmount propagation to notice when a mount that is being
unmounted has another mount on top of it (and no other children), and
to replace the unmounted mount with the mount on top of it.

Move the MNT_UMUONT test from __lookup_mnt_last into
__propagate_umount as that is the only call of __lookup_mnt_last where
MNT_UMOUNT may be set on any mount visible in the mount hash table.

These modifications allow:
 - __lookup_mnt_last to be removed.
 - attach_shadows to be renamed __attach_mnt and its shadow
   handling to be removed.
 - commit_tree to be simplified
 - copy_tree to be simplified

The result is an easier to understand tree of mounts that does not
allow creation of arbitrary length hash chains in the mount hash table.

The result is also a very slight userspace visible difference in semantics.
The following two cases now behave identically, where before order
mattered:

case 1: (explicit user action)
	B is a slave of A
	mount something on A/a , it will propagate to B/a
	and than mount something on B/a

case 2: (tucked mount)
	B is a slave of A
	mount something on B/a
	and than mount something on A/a

Histroically umount A/a would fail in case 1 and succeed in case 2.
Now umount A/a succeeds in both configurations.

This very small change in semantics appears if anything to be a bug
fix to me and my survey of userspace leads me to believe that no programs
will notice or care of this subtle semantic change.

v2: Updated to mnt_change_mountpoint to not call dput or mntput
and instead to decrement the counts directly.  It is guaranteed
that there will be other references when mnt_change_mountpoint is
called so this is safe.

v3: Moved put_mountpoint under mount_lock in attach_recursive_mnt
    As the locking in fs/namespace.c changed between v2 and v3.

v4: Reworked the logic in propagate_mount_busy and __propagate_umount
    that detects when a mount completely covers another mount.

v5: Removed unnecessary tests whose result is alwasy true in
    find_topper and attach_recursive_mnt.

v6: Document the user space visible semantic difference.

Make sure that clone_mnt() never returns a mount with MNT_SHARED in
flags, but without a valid -&gt;mnt_group_id.  That allows to demystify
do_make_slave() quite a bit, among other things.
