Since commit ff17fa561a04 ("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.

Al, would you be willing to take a look at this one?

As of ff17fa561a04 ("d_invalidate(): unhash immediately") d_invalidate
will call __detach_mounts with the dentry unhashed/unlinked if there
is something mounted directly on top of it.  Ordinary unlink won't
be called for dentries that have amount on top.  But the examples in the
patch description will.

I don't see that __detach_mounts cares one way or another if the dentry
it is detaching things from is unlinked/unhashed.  __detach_mounts just
wants to get remove all of the mounts from that dentry.  So removing the
"d_unlinked(dentry)" test from lookup_mount seems fine.

The code in get_mountpoint definitely needs the "d_unlinked(dentry)"
test to ensure new mounts stop being created after d_invalidate calls
__d_drop.  It does not seem to make much difference where the
"d_unlinked(dentry)" test is in get_mountpoint because it will always be
possible for d_invalidate to come in right after get_mountpoint returns.

Because d_invalidate waits for every dentry to have d_mountpoint cleared
it is guaranteed that d_mountpoint won't return until every mount is
cleaned up.

So this looks as good as it can get to me.
