That is certainly interesting.  The problem is that the reason we were
going slow is that there were in fact mounts that had not been traversed
in the share group.

And in fact the entire idea of visiting a vfsmount mountpoint pair
exactly once is wrong in the face of shadow mounts.  For a vfsmount
mountpoint pair that has shadow mounts the number of shadow mounts needs
to be descreased by one each time the propgation tree is traversed
during unmount. Which means that as far as I can see we have to kill
shadow mounts to correctly optimize this code.  Once shadow mounts are
gone I don't know of a case where need your optimization.

I am busily verifying my patch to kill shadow mounts but the following
patch is the minimal version.  As far as I can see propagate_one
is the only place we create shadow mounts, and holding the
namespace_lock over attach_recursive_mnt, propagate_mnt, and
propgate_one is sufficient for that __lookup_mnt to be competely safe.


If you run with that patch you will see that there are go faster stripes.

You are right.

Without shadow mounts, it will be hard to save predictable behaviour
for cases like this:

$ unshare --propagation private -m sh test.sh
+ mount -t tmpfs --make-shared zzzz A
+ mkdir A/a
+ mount -t tmpfs zzzz A/a
+ mount --bind A B
+ mount -t tmpfs zzzz B/a
+ grep zzzz
+ cat /proc/self/mountinfo
155 123 0:44 / /root/tmp/A rw,relatime shared:70 - tmpfs zzzz rw
156 155 0:45 / /root/tmp/A/a rw,relatime shared:71 - tmpfs zzzz rw
157 123 0:44 / /root/tmp/B rw,relatime shared:70 - tmpfs zzzz rw
158 157 0:46 / /root/tmp/B/a rw,relatime shared:72 - tmpfs zzzz rw
159 155 0:46 / /root/tmp/A/a rw,relatime shared:72 - tmpfs zzzz rw
+ umount B/a
+ grep zzzz
+ cat /proc/self/mountinfo
155 123 0:44 / /root/tmp/A rw,relatime shared:70 - tmpfs zzzz rw
156 155 0:45 / /root/tmp/A/a rw,relatime shared:71 - tmpfs zzzz rw
157 123 0:44 / /root/tmp/B rw,relatime shared:70 - tmpfs zzzz rw

X + a - a = X

Maybe we need to add another ID for propagated mounts and when we
do umount, we will detach only mounts with the same propagation id.

I support the idea to kill shadow mounts. I guess it will help us to
simplify algorithm of dumping and restoring a mount tree in CRIU.

Currently it is a big pain for us.

Killing shadow mounts is not exactly a done deal as there are some user
visible effects.  The practical question becomes do we break anything
anyone cares about in userspace.  Answering those practical questions
sucks.

I definitely think we should try to kill shadow mounts because they are
such a big pain to deal with, and only provide very limited value.

So far the only thing I have seem shadow mounts being good for is
preserving unmount behavior in cases where what someone has
constructed an artificially evil mount tree. I haven't figured out how
to see how any of those mount trees are actually useful in real life.

I am not sure that now shadow mounts are worked as you described
here. start_umount_propagation() doesn't remove a mount from mnt_hash,
so in a second time we will look up the same mount again.

Look at this script:

[root@fc24 mounts]# cat ./opus02.sh
set -e
mkdir -p /mnt
mount -t tmpfs zdtm /mnt
mkdir -p /mnt/A/a
mkdir -p /mnt/B/a
mount --bind --make-shared /mnt/A /mnt/A
mount --bind /mnt/A /mnt/B
mount --bind /mnt/A/a /mnt/A/a
mount --bind /mnt/A/a /mnt/A/a

umount -l /mnt/A
cat /proc/self/mountinfo | grep zdtm

[root@fc24 mounts]# unshare --propagation private -m ./opus02.sh
159 121 0:46 / /mnt rw,relatime - tmpfs zdtm rw
162 159 0:46 /A /mnt/B rw,relatime shared:67 - tmpfs zdtm rw
167 162 0:46 /A/a /mnt/B/a rw,relatime shared:67 - tmpfs zdtm rw

We mount nothing into /mnt/B, but when we umount everything from A, we
still have something in B.

Thanks,
