From ea441d1104cf1efb471fa81bc91e9fd1e6ae29fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2011 21:43:59 -0500 Subject: new helper: mount_subtree() takes vfsmount and relative path, does lookup within that vfsmount (possibly triggering automounts) and returns the result as root of subtree suitable for return by ->mount() (i.e. a reference to dentry and an active reference to its superblock grabbed, superblock locked exclusive). btrfs and nfs switched to it instead of open-coding the sucker.
