Merge patch series "fs: lockless mntns lookup"
Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says:

Currently we take the read lock when looking for a mount namespace to
list mounts in. We can make this lockless. The simple search case can
just use a sequence counter to detect concurrent changes to the rbtree.

For walking the list of mount namespaces sequentially via nsfs we keep a
separate rcu list as rb_prev() and rb_next() aren't usable safely with
rcu.

Since creating mount namespaces is a relatively rare event compared with
querying mounts in a foreign mount namespace this is worth it. Once
libmount and systemd pick up this mechanism to list mounts in foreign
mount namespaces this will be used very frequently.

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.
