Almost all fields of struct vfsmount are used only by core VFS (and
a fairly small part of it, at that). The plan: embed struct vfsmount
into struct mount, making the latter visible only to core parts of VFS.
Then move fields from vfsmount to mount, eventually leaving only
mnt_root/mnt_sb/mnt_flags in struct vfsmount. Filesystem code still
gets pointers to struct vfsmount and remains unchanged; all such
pointers go to struct vfsmount embedded into the instances of struct
mount allocated by fs/namespace.c. When fs/namespace.c et.al. get
a pointer to vfsmount, they turn it into pointer to mount (using
container_of) and work with that.
This is the first part of series; struct mount is introduced,
allocation switched to using it.

unfortunately, just checking MS_BORN after having grabbed ->s_umount in
sget() is not enough; places that pick superblock from a list and
grab s_umount shared need the same check in addition to checking for
->s_root; otherwise three-way race between failing mount, sget() and
such list-walker can leave us with list-walker coming *second*, when
temporary active ref grabbed by sget() (to be dropped when sget()
notices that original mount has failed by checking MS_BORN) has
lead to deactivate_locked_super() from failing ->mount() *not* doing
->kill_sb() and just releasing ->s_umount. Once sget() gets through
and notices that MS_BORN had never been set it will drop the active
ref and fs will be shut down and kicked out of all lists, but it's
too late for something like sync_supers().

Seeing that just about every destructor got that INIT_LIST_HEAD() copied into
it, there is no point whatsoever keeping this INIT_LIST_HEAD in inode_init_once();
the cost of taking it into inode_init_always() will be negligible for pipes
and sockets and negative for everything else. Not to mention the removal of
boilerplate code from ->destroy_inode() instances...

it's not needed anymore; we used to, back when we had to do
mount_subtree() by hand, complete with put_mnt_ns() in it.
No more... Apparmor didn't need it since the __d_path() fix.

tomoyo/realpath.c needs exactly one include - that of common.h. It pulls
everything the thing needs, without doing ridiculous garbage such as trying
to include ../../fs/internal.h. If that alone doesn't scream "layering
violation", I don't know what does; and these days it's all for nothing,
since it fortunately does not use any symbols defined in there...

a) mount --move is checking that ->mnt_parent is non-NULL before
looking if that parent happens to be shared; ->mnt_parent is never
NULL and it's not even an misspelled !mnt_has_parent()
b) pivot_root open-codes is_path_reachable(), poorly.
c) so does path_is_under(), while we are at it.

vfsmounts have ->mnt_parent pointing either to a different vfsmount
or to itself; it's never NULL and termination condition in loops
traversing the tree towards root is mnt == mnt->mnt_parent. At least
one place (see the next patch) is confused about what's going on;
let's add an explicit helper checking it right way and use it in
all places where we need it. Not that there had been too many,
but...

mnt_{inc,dec}_count() is not cleaner than doing the corresponding
mnt_add_count() directly and mnt_set_count() is not used at all.
