mnt: Make propagate_umount less slow for overlapping mount propagation trees
commit 296990deb389c7da21c78030376ba244dc1badf5 upstream.
Andrei Vagin pointed out that time to executue propagate_umount can go
non-linear (and take a ludicrious amount of time) when the mount
propogation trees of the mounts to be unmunted by a lazy unmount
overlap.
Make the walk of the mount propagation trees nearly linear by
remembering which mounts have already been visited, allowing
subsequent walks to detect when walking a mount propgation tree or a
subtree of a mount propgation tree would be duplicate work and to skip
them entirely.
Walk the list of mounts whose propgatation trees need to be traversed
from the mount highest in the mount tree to mounts lower in the mount
tree so that odds are higher that the code will walk the largest trees
first, allowing later tree walks to be skipped entirely.
Add cleanup_umount_visitation to remover the code's memory of which
mounts have been visited.
Add the functions last_slave and skip_propagation_subtree to allow
skipping appropriate parts of the mount propagation tree without
needing to change the logic of the rest of the code.
A script to generate overlapping mount propagation trees:
$ cat runs.h
set -e
mount -t tmpfs zdtm /mnt
mkdir -p /mnt/1 /mnt/2
mount -t tmpfs zdtm /mnt/1
mount --make-shared /mnt/1
mkdir /mnt/1/1
iteration=10
if [ -n "$1" ] ; then
iteration=$1
fi
for i in $(seq $iteration); do
mount --bind /mnt/1/1 /mnt/1/1
done
mount --rbind /mnt/1 /mnt/2
TIMEFORMAT='%Rs'
nr=$(( ( 2 ** ( $iteration + 1 ) ) + 1 ))
echo -n "umount -l /mnt/1 -> $nr "
time umount -l /mnt/1
nr=$(cat /proc/self/mountinfo | grep zdtm | wc -l )
time umount -l /mnt/2
$ for i in $(seq 9 19); do echo $i; unshare -Urm bash ./run.sh $i; done
Here are the performance numbers with and without the patch:

Andrei Vagin reports fixing the performance problem is part of the
work to fix CVE-2016-6213.
