[PATCH 3.16 076/114] propogate_mnt: Handle the first propogated copy being a slave

[Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>]

3.16.36-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>

commit 5ec0811d30378ae104f250bfc9b3640242d81e3f upstream.

When the first propgated copy was a slave the following oops would result:

This oops happens with the namespace_sem held and can be triggered by
non-root users.  An all around not pleasant experience.

To avoid this scenario when finding the appropriate source mount to
copy stop the walk up the mnt_master chain when the first source mount
is encountered.

Further rewrite the walk up the last_source mnt_master chain so that
it is clear what is going on.

The reason why the first source mount is special is that it it's
mnt_parent is not a mount in the dest_mnt propagation tree, and as
such termination conditions based up on the dest_mnt mount propgation
tree do not make sense.

To avoid other kinds of confusion last_dest is not changed when
computing last_source.  last_dest is only used once in propagate_one
and that is above the point of the code being modified, so changing
the global variable is meaningless and confusing.
