If two processes mount same superblock, memory leak occurs:
CPU0 | CPU1 do_new_mount | do_new_mount fs_set_subtype | fs_set_subtype kstrdup | | kstrdup memrory leak |
The following reproducer triggers the problem:
1. shell command: mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt & 2. c program: mount("/dev/sda1", "/mnt", "fuseblk", 0, "...")
with kmemleak report being along the lines of

Linus's tree already have refactoring patchset [1], one of them can fix this bug: c30da2e981a7 ("fuse: convert to use the new mount API") After refactoring, init super_block->s_subtype in fuse_fill_super.
Since we did not merge the refactoring patchset in this branch, I create this patch. This patch fix this by adding a write lock while calling fs_set_subtype.
