[PATCH v2] fs/namespace: handle mount(MS_BIND|MS_REMOUNT) without locking sb->s_umount

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov
Date: Mon Mar 23 2020 - 11:05:14 EST


Writeback grabs sb->s_umount for read during I/O. This blocks bind-remount
for a long time. Bind-remount actually does not need sb->s_umount locked
for read or write because it does not alter superblock, only mnt_flags.
All mnt_flags are serialized by global mount_lock.

This patch moves locking into callers to handle remount atomically.
Also grab namespace_sem to synchronize with /proc/mounts and mountinfo.
Function do_change_type() uses the same locking combination.

v2:
- inline helpers into change_mount_ro_state
- verify lock with lockdep_assert_held_write
