commit1e9c75fb9cupstream. Since commitff17fa561a("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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
