static inline int check_mnt(struct vfsmount *mnt)
{
        return mnt->mnt_namespace == current->namespace;
}

static int do_loopback(struct nameidata *nd, char *old_name, int recurse)
{
        struct nameidata old_nd;
        struct vfsmount *mnt = NULL;
	/* no changes of mnt */
	err = -EINVAL;
	if (check_mnt(nd->mnt) && ... ) {
		/* assigns to mnt */
	}
	if (mnt) {
		/* assigns to err */
	}
        up_write(&current->namespace->sem);
        path_release(&old_nd);
        return err;
}

Care to explain how that would not give -EINVAL?
