Al Viro 6482c3dccb fs/fhandle.c: fix a race in call of has_locked_children()
commit 1f282cdc1d upstream.

may_decode_fh() is calling has_locked_children() while holding no locks.
That's an oopsable race...

The rest of the callers are safe since they are holding namespace_sem and
are guaranteed a positive refcount on the mount in question.

Rename the current has_locked_children() to __has_locked_children(), make
it static and switch the fs/namespace.c users to it.

Make has_locked_children() a wrapper for __has_locked_children(), calling
the latter under read_seqlock_excl(&mount_lock).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
