add several pieces to shared subtree documentation
* document locking * add the missing part of data structure invariants (relationship between mnt_share and mnt_slave lists in case of a peer group among slaves). Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

non-NULL, they form a contiguous (ordered) segment of slave list.

A example propagation tree looks as shown in the figure below.

8B Locking:

|

8B Algorithm:
|
||||
->mnt_share, ->mnt_slave, ->mnt_slave_list, ->mnt_master are protected
|
||||
by namespace_sem (exclusive for modifications, shared for reading).
|
||||
|
||||
Normally we have ->mnt_flags modifications serialized by vfsmount_lock.
|
||||
There are two exceptions: do_add_mount() and clone_mnt().
|
||||
The former modifies a vfsmount that has not been visible in any shared
|
||||
data structures yet.
|
||||
The latter holds namespace_sem and the only references to vfsmount
|
||||
are in lists that can't be traversed without namespace_sem.
|
||||
|
||||
8C Algorithm:
|
||||
|
||||
The crux of the implementation resides in rbind/move operation.
