Subject: [RFC v3 0/1] fs/namespace: defer RCU sync for MNT_DETACH umount 

Hi all,                                            
                                                   
Attached is v3 of the umount optimization. Please take a look at v1 for
the original introduction to the problem. Al made it clear in the
RFC v1 that if a filesystem is shut down by umount(2), that the
shut down needs to be completed before the return from the syscall. In 
the RFC v2, it was pointed out that call_rcu can block within an 
interrupt context. This RFC v3 addresses both that and removes 
unneccesary code by taking advantage of mntput for the cleanup of lazy 
umounts.                                           
                                                   
Lucas                                              
                                                   
v3:                                                
- Removed unneeded code for lazy umount case.      
- Don't block within interrupt context.            
v2:                                                
- Only defer releasing umount'ed filesystems for lazy umounts
v1:
