Subject: Mount structures are leaked

Hello,

We found that mount structures are leaked on the upstream linux kernel:

[root@...m criu]# cat /proc/slabinfo | grep mnt
mnt_cache          36456  36456    384   42    4 : tunables    0    0
  0 : slabdata    868    868      0
[root@...m criu]#  python test/zdtm.py run  -t zdtm/static/env00
--iter 10 -f ns
=== Run 1/1 ================ zdtm/static/env00

========================= Run zdtm/static/env00 in ns ==========================
Start test
./env00 --pidfile=env00.pid --outfile=env00.out --envname=ENV_00_TEST
Run criu dump
Run criu restore
Run criu dump

Run criu restore
Send the 15 signal to  339
Wait for zdtm/static/env00(339) to die for 0.100000
