An unbindable mount does not forward or receive propagation. Also
unbindable mount disallows bind mounts. The semantics is as follows.
Bind semantics:
It is invalid to bind mount an unbindable mount.
Move semantics:
It is invalid to move an unbindable mount under shared mount.
Clone-namespace semantics:
If a mount is unbindable in the parent namespace, the corresponding
cloned mount in the child namespace becomes unbindable too. Note:
there is subtle difference, unbindable mounts cannot be bind mounted
but can be cloned during clone-namespace.

A slave mount always has a master mount from which it receives
mount/umount events. Unlike shared mount the event propagation does not
flow from the slave mount to the master.

An unmount of a mount creates a umount event on the parent. If the
parent is a shared mount, it gets propagated to all mounts in the peer
group.

This creates shared mounts. A shared mount when bind-mounted to some
mountpoint, propagates mount/umount events to each other. All the
shared mounts that propagate events to each other belong to the same
peer-group.

- clean up the ugliness in may_umount_tree()
- fix a bug in do_loopback(). after cloning a tree, do_loopback()
unlinks only the topmost mount of the cloned tree, leaving behind the
children mounts on their corresponding expiry list.

umount is done under the protection of the namespace semaphore. This
can lead to intresting deadlocks when the last reference to a mount is
released, if filesystem code is in sufficiently nasty state.
This collects all the to-be-released-mounts and releases them after
releasing the namespace semaphore. That both reduces the time we are
holding namespace semaphore and gets the things more robust.
Idea proposed by Al Viro.

Old semantics: graft_tree() grabs a reference on the vfsmount before
returning success.
New one: graft_tree() leaves that to caller.
All the callers of graft_tree() immediately dropped that reference
anyway. Changing the interface takes care of this unnecessary overhead.

The way we currently deal with quota and process accounting that might
keep vfsmount busy at umount time is inherently broken; we try to turn
them off just in case (not quite correctly, at that) and
a) pray umount doesn't fail (otherwise they'll stay turned off)
b) pray nobody doesn anything funny just as we turn quota off
Moreover, LSM provides hooks for doing the same sort of broken logics.
The proper way to deal with that is to introduce the second kind of
reference to vfsmount. Semantics:
- when the last normal reference is dropped, all special ones are
converted to normal ones and if there had been any, cleanup is done.
- normal reference can be cloned into a special one
- special reference can be converted to normal one; that's a no-op if
we'd already passed the point of no return (i.e. mntput() had
converted special references to normal and started cleanup).
The way it works: e.g. starting process accounting converts the vfsmount
reference pinned by the opened file into special one and turns it back
to normal when it gets shut down; acct_auto_close() is done when no
normal references are left. That way it does *not* obstruct umount(2)
and it silently gets turned off when the last normal reference to
vfsmount is gone. Which is exactly what we want...
The same should be done by LSM module that holds some internal
references to vfsmount and wants to shut them down on umount - it should
make them special and security_sb_umount_close() will be called exactly
when the last normal reference to vfsmount is gone.
quota handling is even simpler - we don't use normal file IO anymore, so
there's no need to hold vfsmounts at all. DQUOT_OFF() is done from
deactivate_super(), where it really belongs.

sparc64 is unique among architectures in taking the page_table_lock in
its context switch (well, cris does too, but erroneously, and it's not
yet SMP anyway).
This seems to be a private affair between switch_mm and activate_mm,
using page_table_lock as a per-mm lock, without any relation to its uses
elsewhere. That's fine, but comment it as such; and unlock sooner in
switch_mm, more like in activate_mm (preemption is disabled here).
There is a block of "if (0)"ed code in smp_flush_tlb_pending which would
have liked to rely on the page_table_lock, in switch_mm and elsewhere;
but its comment explains how dup_mmap's flush_tlb_mm defeated it. And
though that could have been changed at any time over the past few years,
now the chance vanishes as we push the page_table_lock downwards, and
perhaps split it per page table page. Just delete that block of code.
Which leaves the mysterious spin_unlock_wait(&oldmm->page_table_lock)
in kernel/fork.c copy_mm. Textual analysis (supported by Nick Piggin)
suggests that the comment was written by DaveM, and that it relates to
the defeated approach in the sparc64 smp_flush_tlb_pending. Just delete
this block too.

sparc64 prom_callback and new_setup_frame32 each operates on a user page
table without holding lock, and no doubt they've good reason. But I'd
feel more confident if they were to do a "pte = *ptep" and then operate
on pte, rather than re-evaluating *ptep.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
Since we have to use XCB=101 instead of XCB=000 on the ixp2400 to
prevent it from regularly falling over, and since we have to deal with
manual write buffer flushing because of that, we might as well use
XCB=101 on all ixp2000 platforms since it's faster than XCB=000.
