Using dput_to_list() to shift the contributing reference from ->mnt_mountpoint to ->mnt_mp->m_dentry. Dentries are dropped (with dput_to_list()) as soon as struct mountpoint is destroyed; in cases where we are under namespace_sem we use the global list, shrinking it in namespace_unlock(). In case of detaching stuck MNT_LOCKed children at final mntput_no_expire() we use a local list and shrink it ourselves. ->mnt_ex_mountpoint crap is gone.

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 Restructured Text 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.
