Thanks, this fixes the issue for me (and also fixes another reproducer I found -- mounting a symlink on top of itself then trying to umount it). Reported-by: Aleksa Sarai <redacted> Tested-by: Aleksa Sarai <redacted>
Pushed into #fixes.
As for the original topic of bind-mounting symlinks -- given this is a supported feature, would you be okay with me sending an updated O_EMPTYPATH series?
Post it on fsdevel; I'll need to reread it anyway to say anything useful...
