Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull mnt namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
"A big break-through came during this development cycle as a way was
found to maintain the existing umount -l semantics while allowing for
optimizations that improve the performance. That is represented by the
first change in this series moving the reparenting of mounts into
their own pass. This has allowed addressing the horrific performance
of umount -l on a carefully crafted tree of mounts with locks held
(0.06s vs 60s in my testing). What allowed this was not changing where
umounts propagate to while propgating umounts.
The next change fixes the case where the order of the mount whose
umount are being progated visits a tree where the mounts are stacked
upon each other in another order. This is weird but not hard to
implement.
The final change takes advantage of the unchanging mount propgation
tree to skip parts of the mount propgation tree that have already been
visited. Yielding a very nice speed up in the worst case.
There remains one outstanding question about the semantics of umount -l
that I am still discussiong with Ram Pai. In practice that area of the
semantics was changed by 1064f874abc0 ("mnt: Tuck mounts under others
instead of creating shadow/side mounts.") and no regressions have been
reported. Still I intend to finish talking that out with him to ensure
there is not something a more intense use of mount propagation in the
future will not cause to become significant"
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
mnt: Make propagate_umount less slow for overlapping mount propagation trees
mnt: In propgate_umount handle visiting mounts in any order
mnt: In umount propagation reparent in a separate pass
