Subject: linux-next: run time BUG after merge of the vfs-fixes tree?

Hi all,

During my qemu boot tests (powerpc64 pseries_le_defconfig) today, I got
the following BUG:

# halt

The system is going down NOW!

5deadbeef is the ppc64 ILLEGAL_POINTER_VALUE.  I am guessing that the
problem may have been introduced by commit

  2085eeffbc6d ("fix the struct mount leak in umount_tree()")

in the vfs-fixes tree today.

And actually reverting that commit makes the BUG go away.

After doing the revert (and also before today), I get the following log
messages instead of the BUG trace:

umount: devtmpfs busy - remounted read-only
umount: can't unmount /: Invalid argument

So, I have left that commit reverted for today.
