To O(n) not O(n^2).
A hash table lookup (aka __lookup_mnt() and friends) is O(1) or the hash
table is malfunctioning. Please don't call
Arguably we are getting into sizes where
the mount hash table fills up and is on the edge of malfunctioning, but
that is not particularly relevant to this case.
What your patch is aiming to do is to take a O(n^2) algorithm and
make it O(n). That is very much worth doing.
However your patch confuses two separate issues. Marking mounts that
may be unmounted. Marking pieces of the propagation tree that have
already been traversed.
I do not see anything requiring propagation trees to intersect at the
set of mounts that are unmounted in umount_tree before propagate_umount
is called. Which means there are topologies where we can and should do
better than your patch.
I am also bothered that your patch changes how we look up the mount
mounted on a mount point (aka playing with __lookup_mnt_last). There
is no reason to do that to solve the problem, and I think it obscures
what is actually going on.
I am going to see if I can rework your basic concept with explicit
marking of the propagation tree. In the meantime for people
who are want to see what your patch is doing the version below
essentially does the same thing, without the extra essentially
meaningless loop.
