While the total reference count of a mount is mostly all that's needed
the reference count corresponding to the mounts only is occassionally
also needed (for example, autofs checking if a tree of mounts can be
expired).

To make this reference count avaialble with minimal changes add a
counter to track the number of child mounts under a given mount. This
count can then be used to calculate the mounts only reference count.

No.  This is a wrong approach - instead of keeping track of number of
children, we should just stop having them contribute to refcount of
the parent.  Here's what I've got in my local tree; life gets simpler
that way.

Right, I'll grab this and run some tests.

One part of the problem I'm trying to fix is when some other

process has created a mount namespace (say with unshare(1))

on an auto-mounted path and holds the mount in use in some way.

This leads to an attempted umount in the automount daemon which

fails because a propagation of the mount is in use.


Given the way may_umount() behaves I thought it sensible that

may_umount_tree() behave that way too, but the above doesn't

check propagated mounts.


I'll see if I can come up with something on that ... unless

I'm missing something and you have different thoughts how

this should be done ...
