RE: [PATCH 0/3] umount fixes and cleanups

["Hombourger, Cedric" <Cedric_Hombourger@mentor.com>]

I was able to use the following work-around for your test-case:

# run the following command until all mounts are gone
umount $(mount |grep $PWD/my-mnt|awk '{print $3}')

umount -R or -l indeed failed

OK, so I took the time and extracted the root cause. We may see a Debian 4.9 kernel bug here:

# mkdir my-mnt
# mount --rbind /sys my-mnt
# mount --make-rslave my-mnt
# umount {-R,-l,-R -l} my-mnt
# rmdir my-mnt
rmdir: failed to remove 'my-mnt': Device or resource busy

This works fine on my Leap 15.0 kernel (4.12) as well as the 4.4 kernel (Ubuntu) used on our CI server.

*This* is information we can base commits on. Also, we can file a bug against Debian with this. Could you do that (keep my in CC)?

Thanks,
Jan
