[PATCH] r/o bind mounts: debugging for missed calls
There have been a few oopses caused by 'struct file's with NULL f_vfsmnts.
There was also a set of potentially missed mnt_want_write()s from
dentry_open() calls.
This patch provides a very simple debugging framework to catch these kinds of
bugs. It will WARN_ON() them, but should stop us from having any oopses or
mnt_writer count imbalances.
I'm quite convinced that this is a good thing because it found bugs in the
stuff I was working on as soon as I wrote it.
[hch: made it conditional on a debug option.
But it's still a little bit too ugly]
[hch: merged forced remount r/o fix from Dave and akpm's fix for the fix]
