fuse: share lookup state between submount and its parent
commit
c4d361f66ac91db8fc65061a9671682f61f4ca9d upstream.
Fuse submounts do not perform a lookup for the nodeid that they inherit
from their parent. Instead, the code decrements the nlookup on the
submount's fuse_inode when it is instantiated, and no forget is
performed when a submount root is evicted.
Trouble arises when the submount's parent is evicted despite the
submount itself being in use. In this author's case, the submount was
in a container and deatched from the initial mount namespace via a
MNT_DEATCH operation. When memory pressure triggered the shrinker, the
inode from the parent was evicted, which triggered enough forgets to
render the submount's nodeid invalid.
Since submounts should still function, even if their parent goes away,
solve this problem by sharing refcounted state between the parent and
its submount. When all of the references on this shared state reach
zero, it's safe to forget the final lookup of the fuse nodeid.
