+ Notes on propagate_umount()
+
+Umount propagation starts with a set of mounts we are already going to
+take out. Ideally, we would like to add all downstream cognates to
+that set - anything with the same mountpoint as one of the removed
+mounts and with parent that would receive events from the parent of that
+mount. However, there are some constraints the resulting set must
+satisfy.
+
+It is convenient to define several properties of sets of mounts:
+
+1) A set S of mounts is non-shifting if for any mount X belonging
+to S all subtrees mounted strictly inside of X (i.e. not overmounting
+the root of X) contain only elements of S.
+
+2) A set S is non-revealing if all locked mounts that belong to S have
+parents that also belong to S.
+
+3) A set S is closed if it contains all children of its elements.
+
+The set of mounts taken out by umount(2) must be non-shifting and
+non-revealing; the first constraint is what allows to reparent
+any remaining mounts and the second is what prevents the exposure
+of any concealed mountpoints.
+
+propagate_umount() takes the original set as an argument and tries to
+extend that set. The original set is a full subtree and its root is
+unlocked; what matters is that it's closed and non-revealing.
+Resulting set may not be closed; there might still be mounts outside
+of that set, but only on top of stacks of root-overmounting elements
+of set. They can be reparented to the place where the bottom of
+stack is attached to a mount that will survive. NOTE: doing that
+will violate a constraint on having no more than one mount with
+the same parent/mountpoint pair; however, the caller (umount_tree())
+will immediately remedy that - it may keep unmounted element attached
+to parent, but only if the parent itself is unmounted. Since all
+conflicts created by reparenting have common parent *not* in the
+set and one side of the conflict (bottom of the stack of overmounts)
+is in the set, it will be resolved. However, we rely upon umount_tree()
+doing that pretty much immediately after the call of propagate_umount().
+
+Algorithm is based on two statements:
+ 1) for any set S, there is a maximal non-shifting subset of S
+and it can be calculated in O(#S) time.
+ 2) for any non-shifting set S, there is a maximal non-revealing
+subset of S. That subset is also non-shifting and it can be calculated
+in O(#S) time.
+
+ Finding candidates.
+
+We are given a closed set U and we want to find all mounts that have
+the same mountpoint as some mount m in U *and* whose parent receives
+propagation from the parent of the same mount m. Naive implementation
+would be
+ S = {}
+ for each m in U
+ add m to S
+ p = parent(m)
+ for each q in Propagation(p) - {p}
+ child = look_up(q, mountpoint(m))
+ if child
+ add child to S
+but that can lead to excessive work - there might be propagation among the
+subtrees of U, in which case we'd end up examining the same candidates
+many times. Since propagation is transitive, the same will happen to
+everything downstream of that candidate and it's not hard to construct
+cases where the approach above leads to the time quadratic by the actual
+number of candidates.
+
+Note that if we run into a candidate we'd already seen, it must've been
+added on an earlier iteration of the outer loop - all additions made
+during one iteration of the outer loop have different parents. So
+if we find a child already added to the set, we know that everything
+in Propagation(parent(child)) with the same mountpoint has been already
+added.
+ S = {}
+ for each m in U
+ if m in S
+ continue
+ add m to S
+ p = parent(m)
+ q = propagation_next(p, p)
+ while q
+ child = look_up(q, mountpoint(m))
+ if child
+ if child in S
+ q = skip_them(q, p)
+ continue;
+ add child to S
+ q = propagation_next(q, p)
+where
+skip_them(q, p)
+ keep walking Propagation(p) from q until we find something
+ not in Propagation(q)
+
+would get rid of that problem, but we need a sane implementation of
+skip_them(). That's not hard to do - split propagation_next() into
+"down into mnt_slave_list" and "forward-and-up" parts, with the
+skip_them() being "repeat the forward-and-up part until we get NULL
+or something that isn't a peer of the one we are skipping".
+
+Note that there can be no absolute roots among the extra candidates -
+they all come from mount lookups. Absolute root among the original
+set is _currently_ impossible, but it might be worth protecting
+against.
+
+ Maximal non-shifting subsets.
+
+Let's call a mount m in a set S forbidden in that set if there is a
+subtree mounted strictly inside m and containing mounts that do not
+belong to S.
+
+The set is non-shifting when none of its elements are forbidden in it.
+
+If mount m is forbidden in a set S, it is forbidden in any subset S' it
+belongs to. In other words, it can't belong to any of the non-shifting
+subsets of S. If we had a way to find a forbidden mount or show that
+there's none, we could use it to find the maximal non-shifting subset
+simply by finding and removing them until none remain.
+
+Suppose mount m is forbidden in S; then any mounts forbidden in S - {m}
+must have been forbidden in S itself. Indeed, since m has descendents
+that do not belong to S, any subtree that fits into S will fit into
+S - {m} as well.
+
+So in principle we could go through elements of S, checking if they
+are forbidden in S and removing the ones that are. Removals will
+not invalidate the checks done for earlier mounts - if they were not
+forbidden at the time we checked, they won't become forbidden later.
+It's too costly to be practical, but there is a similar approach that
+is linear by size of S.
+
+Let's say that mount x in a set S is forbidden by mount y, if
+ * both x and y belong to S.
+ * there is a chain of mounts starting at x and leaving S
+ immediately after passing through y, with the first
+ mountpoint strictly inside x.
+Note 1: x may be equal to y - that's the case when something not
+belonging to S is mounted strictly inside x.
+Note 2: if y does not belong to S, it can't forbid anything in S.
+Note 3: if y has no children outside of S, it can't forbid anything in S.
+
+It's easy to show that mount x is forbidden in S if and only if x is
+forbidden in S by some mount y. And it's easy to find all mounts in S
+forbidden by a given mount.
+
+Consider the following operation:
+ Trim(S, m) = S - {x : x is forbidden by m in S}
+
+Note that if m does not belong to S or has no children outside of S we
+are guaranteed that Trim(S, m) is equal to S.
+
+The following is true: if x is forbidden by y in Trim(S, m), it was
+already forbidden by y in S.
+
+Proof: Suppose x is forbidden by y in Trim(S, m). Then there is a
+chain of mounts (x_0 = x, ..., x_k = y, x_{k+1} = r), such that x_{k+1}
+is the first element that doesn't belong to Trim(S, m) and the
+mountpoint of x_1 is strictly inside x. If mount r belongs to S, it must
+have been removed by Trim(S, m), i.e. it was forbidden in S by m.
+Then there was a mount chain from r to some child of m that stayed in
+S all the way until m, but that's impossible since x belongs to Trim(S, m)
+and prepending (x_0, ..., x_k) to that chain demonstrates that x is also
+forbidden in S by m, and thus can't belong to Trim(S, m).
+Therefore r can not belong to S and our chain demonstrates that
+x is forbidden by y in S. QED.
+
+Corollary: no mount is forbidden by m in Trim(S, m). Indeed, any
+such mount would have been forbidden by m in S and thus would have been
+in the part of S removed in Trim(S, m).
+
+Corollary: no mount is forbidden by m in Trim(Trim(S, m), n). Indeed,
+any such would have to have been forbidden by m in Trim(S, m), which
+is impossible.
+
+Corollary: after
+ S = Trim(S, x_1)
+ S = Trim(S, x_2)
+ ...
+ S = Trim(S, x_k)
+no mount remaining in S will be forbidden by either of x_1,...,x_k.
+
+The following will reduce S to its maximal non-shifting subset:
+ visited = {}
+ while S contains elements not belonging to visited
+ let m be an arbitrary such element of S
+ S = Trim(S, m)
+ add m to visited
+
+S never grows, so the number of elements of S not belonging to visited
+decreases at least by one on each iteration. When the loop terminates,
+all mounts remaining in S belong to visited. It's easy to see that at
+the beginning of each iteration no mount remaining in S will be forbidden
+by any element of visited. In other words, no mount remaining in S will
+be forbidden, i.e. final value of S will be non-shifting. It will be
+the maximal non-shifting subset, since we were removing only forbidden
+elements.
+
+ There are two difficulties in implementing the above in linear
+time, both due to the fact that Trim() might need to remove more than one
+element. Naive implementation of Trim() is vulnerable to running into a
+long chain of mounts, each mounted on top of parent's root. Nothing in
+that chain is forbidden, so nothing gets removed from it. We need to
+recognize such chains and avoid walking them again on subsequent calls of
+Trim(), otherwise we will end up with worst-case time being quadratic by
+the number of elements in S. Another difficulty is in implementing the
+outer loop - we need to iterate through all elements of a shrinking set.
+That would be trivial if we never removed more than one element at a time
+(linked list, with list_for_each_entry_safe for iterator), but we may
+need to remove more than one entry, possibly including the ones we have
+already visited.
+
+ Let's start with naive algorithm for Trim():
+
+Trim_one(m)
+ found = false
+ for each n in children(m)
+ if n not in S
+ found = true
+ if (mountpoint(n) != root(m))
+ remove m from S
+ break
+ if found
+ Trim_ancestors(m)
+
+Trim_ancestors(m)
+ for (; parent(m) in S; m = parent(m)) {
+ if (mountpoint(m) != root(parent(m)))
+ remove parent(m) from S
+ }
+
+If m belongs to S, Trim_one(m) will replace S with Trim(S, m).
+Proof:
+ Consider the chains excluding elements from Trim(S, m). The last
+two elements in such chain are m and some child of m that does not belong
+to S. If m has no such children, Trim(S, m) is equal to S.
+ m itself is removed if and only if the chain has exactly two
+elements, i.e. when the last element does not overmount the root of m.
+In other words, that happens when m has a child not in S that does not
+overmount the root of m.
+ All other elements to remove will be ancestors of m, such that
+the entire descent chain from them to m is contained in S. Let
+(x_0, x_1, ..., x_k = m) be the longest such chain. x_i needs to be
+removed if and only if x_{i+1} does not overmount its root. It's easy
+to see that Trim_ancestors(m) will iterate through that chain from
+x_k to x_1 and that it will remove exactly the elements that need to be
+removed.
+
+ Note that if the loop in Trim_ancestors() walks into an already
+visited element, we are guaranteed that remaining iterations will see
+only elements that had already been visited and remove none of them.
+That's the weakness that makes it vulnerable to long chains of full
+overmounts.
+
+ It's easy to deal with, if we can afford setting marks on
+elements of S; we would mark all elements already visited by
+Trim_ancestors() and have it bail out as soon as it sees an already
+marked element.
+
+ The problems with iterating through the set can be dealt with in
+several ways, depending upon the representation we choose for our set.
+One useful observation is that we are given a closed subset in S - the
+original set passed to propagate_umount(). Its elements can neither
+forbid anything nor be forbidden by anything - all their descendents
+belong to S, so they can not occur anywhere in any excluding chain.
+In other words, the elements of that subset will remain in S until
+the end and Trim_one(S, m) is a no-op for all m from that subset.
+
+ That suggests keeping S as a disjoint union of a closed set U
+('will be unmounted, no matter what') and the set of all elements of
+S that do not belong to U. That set ('candidates') is all we need
+to iterate through. Let's represent it as a subset in a cyclic list,
+consisting of all list elements that are marked as candidates (initially -
+all of them). Then we could have Trim_ancestors() only remove the mark,
+leaving the elements on the list. Then Trim_one() would never remove
+anything other than its argument from the containing list, allowing to
+use list_for_each_entry_safe() as iterator.
+
+ Assuming that representation we get the following:
+
+ list_for_each_entry_safe(m, ..., Candidates, ...)
+ Trim_one(m)
+where
+Trim_one(m)
+ if (m is not marked as a candidate)
+ strip the "seen by Trim_ancestors" mark from m
+ remove m from the Candidates list
+ return
+
+ remove_this = false
+ found = false
+ for each n in children(m)
+ if n not in S
+ found = true
+ if (mountpoint(n) != root(m))
+ remove_this = true
+ break
+ if found
+ Trim_ancestors(m)
+ if remove_this
+ strip the "seen by Trim_ancestors" mark from m
+ strip the "candidate" mark from m
+ remove m from the Candidate list
+
+Trim_ancestors(m)
+ for (p = parent(m); p is marked as candidate ; m = p, p = parent(p)) {
+ if m is marked as seen by Trim_ancestors
+ return
+ mark m as seen by Trim_ancestors
+ if (mountpoint(m) != root(p))
+ strip the "candidate" mark from p
+ }
+
+ Terminating condition in the loop in Trim_ancestors() is correct,
+since that that loop will never run into p belonging to U - p is always
+an ancestor of argument of Trim_one() and since U is closed, the argument
+of Trim_one() would also have to belong to U. But Trim_one() is never
+called for elements of U. In other words, p belongs to S if and only
+if it belongs to candidates.
+
+ Time complexity:
+* we get no more than O(#S) calls of Trim_one()
+* the loop over children in Trim_one() never looks at the same child
+twice through all the calls.
+* iterations of that loop for children in S are no more than O(#S)
+in the worst case
+* at most two children that are not elements of S are considered per
+call of Trim_one().
+* the loop in Trim_ancestors() sets its mark once per iteration and
+no element of S has is set more than once.
+
+ In the end we may have some elements excluded from S by
+Trim_ancestors() still stuck on the list. We could do a separate
+loop removing them from the list (also no worse than O(#S) time),
+but it's easier to leave that until the next phase - there we will
+iterate through the candidates anyway.
+
+ The caller has already removed all elements of U from their parents'
+lists of children, which means that checking if child belongs to S is
+equivalent to checking if it's marked as a candidate; we'll never see
+the elements of U in the loop over children in Trim_one().
+
+ What's more, if we see that children(m) is empty and m is not
+locked, we can immediately move m into the committed subset (remove
+from the parent's list of children, etc.). That's one fewer mount we'll
+have to look into when we check the list of children of its parent *and*
+when we get to building the non-revealing subset.
+
+ Maximal non-revealing subsets
+
+If S is not a non-revealing subset, there is a locked element x in S
+such that parent of x is not in S.
+
+Obviously, no non-revealing subset of S may contain x. Removing such
+elements one by one will obviously end with the maximal non-revealing
+subset (possibly empty one). Note that removal of an element will
+require removal of all its locked children, etc.
+
+If the set had been non-shifting, it will remain non-shifting after
+such removals.
+Proof: suppose S was non-shifting, x is a locked element of S, parent of x
+is not in S and S - {x} is not non-shifting. Then there is an element m
+in S - {x} and a subtree mounted strictly inside m, such that m contains
+an element not in in S - {x}. Since S is non-shifting, everything in
+that subtree must belong to S. But that means that this subtree must
+contain x somewhere *and* that parent of x either belongs that subtree
+or is equal to m. Either way it must belong to S. Contradiction.
+
+// same representation as for finding maximal non-shifting subsets:
+// S is a disjoint union of a non-revealing set U (the ones we are committed
+// to unmount) and a set of candidates, represented as a subset of list
+// elements that have "is a candidate" mark on them.
+// Elements of U are removed from their parents' lists of children.
+// In the end candidates becomes empty and maximal non-revealing non-shifting
+// subset of S is now in U
+ while (Candidates list is non-empty)
+ handle_locked(first(Candidates))
+
+handle_locked(m)
+ if m is not marked as a candidate
+ strip the "seen by Trim_ancestors" mark from m
+ remove m from the list
+ return
+ cutoff = m
+ for (p = m; p in candidates; p = parent(p)) {
+ strip the "seen by Trim_ancestors" mark from p
+ strip the "candidate" mark from p
+ remove p from the Candidates list
+ if (!locked(p))
+ cutoff = parent(p)
+ }
+ if p in U
+ cutoff = p
+ while m != cutoff
+ remove m from children(parent(m))
+ add m to U
+ m = parent(m)
+
+Let (x_0, ..., x_n = m) be the maximal chain of descent of m within S.
+* If it contains some elements of U, let x_k be the last one of those.
+Then union of U with {x_{k+1}, ..., x_n} is obviously non-revealing.
+* otherwise if all its elements are locked, then none of {x_0, ..., x_n}
+may be elements of a non-revealing subset of S.
+* otherwise let x_k be the first unlocked element of the chain. Then none
+of {x_0, ..., x_{k-1}} may be an element of a non-revealing subset of
+S and union of U and {x_k, ..., x_n} is non-revealing.
+
+handle_locked(m) finds which of these cases applies and adjusts Candidates
+and U accordingly. U remains non-revealing, union of Candidates and
+U still contains any non-revealing subset of S and after the call of
+handle_locked(m) m is guaranteed to be not in Candidates list. So having
+it called for each element of S would suffice to empty Candidates,
+leaving U the maximal non-revealing subset of S.
+
+However, handle_locked(m) is a no-op when m belongs to U, so it's enough
+to have it called for elements of Candidates list until none remain.
+
+Time complexity: number of calls of handle_locked() is limited by
+#Candidates, each iteration of the first loop in handle_locked() removes
+an element from the list, so their total number of executions is also
+limited by #Candidates; number of iterations in the second loop is no
+greater than the number of iterations of the first loop.
+
+
+ Reparenting
+
+After we'd calculated the final set, we still need to deal with
+reparenting - if an element of the final set has a child not in it,
+we need to reparent such child.
+
+Such children can only be root-overmounting (otherwise the set wouldn't
+be non-shifting) and their parents can not belong to the original set,
+since the original is guaranteed to be closed.
+
+
+ Putting all of that together
+
+The plan is to
+ * find all candidates
+ * trim down to maximal non-shifting subset
+ * trim down to maximal non-revealing subset
+ * reparent anything that needs to be reparented
+ * return the resulting set to the caller
+
+For the 2nd and 3rd steps we want to separate the set into growing
+non-revealing subset, initially containing the original set ("U" in
+terms of the pseudocode above) and everything we are still not sure about
+("candidates"). It means that for the output of the 1st step we'd like
+the extra candidates separated from the stuff already in the original set.
+For the 4th step we would like the additions to U separate from the
+original set.
+
+So let's go for
+ * original set ("set"). Linkage via mnt_list
+ * undecided candidates ("candidates"). Subset of a list,
+consisting of all its elements marked with a new flag (MNT_UMOUNT_CANDIDATE).
+Initially all elements of the list will be marked that way; in the
+end the list will become empty and no mounts will remain marked with
+that flag.
+ * Reuse MNT_MARKED for "has been already seen by trim_ancestors()".
+ * anything in U that hadn't been in the original set - elements of
+candidates will gradually be either discarded or moved there. In other
+words, it's the candidates we have already decided to unmount. Its role
+is reasonably close to the old "to_umount", so let's use that name.
+Linkage via mnt_list.
+
+For gather_candidates() we'll need to maintain both candidates (S -
+set) and intersection of S with set. Use MNT_UMOUNT_CANDIDATE for
+all elements we encounter, putting the ones not already in the original
+set into the list of candidates. When we are done, strip that flag from
+all elements of the original set. That gives a cheap way to check
+if element belongs to S (in gather_candidates) and to candidates
+itself (at later stages). Call that predicate is_candidate(); it would
+be m->mnt_flags & MNT_UMOUNT_CANDIDATE.
+
+All elements of the original set are marked with MNT_UMOUNT and we'll
+need the same for elements added when joining the contents of to_umount
+to set in the end. Let's set MNT_UMOUNT at the time we add an element
+to to_umount; that's close to what the old 'umount_one' is doing, so
+let's keep that name. It also gives us another predicate we need -
+"belongs to union of set and to_umount"; will_be_unmounted() for now.
+
+Removals from the candidates list should strip both MNT_MARKED and
+MNT_UMOUNT_CANDIDATE; call it remove_from_candidates_list().
