From 01619491a5f0766014fe863c5ae480665436e7a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Kent Date: Thu, 24 Nov 2016 08:03:41 +1100 Subject: vfs: add path_has_submounts() d_mountpoint() can only be used reliably to establish if a dentry is not mounted in any namespace. It isn't aware of the possibility there may be multiple mounts using the given dentry, possibly in a different namespace. Add function, path_has_submounts(), that checks is a struct path contains mounts (or is a mountpoint itself) to handle this case.
