Since commit ff17fa5 ("d_invalidate(): unhash immediately")
immediately unhashes the dentry, we'll never return the mountpoint in
lookup_mountpoint(), which can lead to an unbreakable loop in
d_invalidate().
I have reports of NFS clients getting into this condition after the server
removes an export of an existing mount created through follow_automount(),
but I suspect there are various other ways to produce this problem if we
hunt down users of d_invalidate(). For example, it is possible to get into
this state by using XFS' d_invalidate() call in xfs_vn_unlink():
truncate -s 100m img{1,2}
mkfs.xfs -q -n version=ci img1
mkfs.xfs -q -n version=ci img2
mkdir -p /mnt/xfs
mount img1 /mnt/xfs
mkdir /mnt/xfs/sub1
mount img2 /mnt/xfs/sub1
cat > /mnt/xfs/sub1/foo &
umount -l /mnt/xfs/sub1
mount img2 /mnt/xfs/sub1
mount --make-private /mnt/xfs
mkdir /mnt/xfs/sub2
mount --move /mnt/xfs/sub1 /mnt/xfs/sub2
rmdir /mnt/xfs/sub1
Fix this by moving the check for an unlinked dentry out of the
detach_mounts() path.
