3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: NeilBrown <redacted>
commit b911a6bdeef5848c468597d040e3407e0aee04ce upstream.
NFS appears to use d_obtain_alias() to create the root dentry rather than
d_make_root. This can cause 'prepend_path()' to complain that the root
has a weird name if an NFS filesystem is lazily unmounted. e.g. if
"/mnt" is an NFS mount then
{ cd /mnt; umount -l /mnt ; ls -l /proc/self/cwd; }
will cause a WARN message like
WARNING: at /home/git/linux/fs/dcache.c:2624 prepend_path+0x1d7/0x1e0()
...
Root dentry has weird name <>
to appear in kernel logs.
So change d_obtain_alias() to use "/" rather than "" as the anonymous
name.
