The patch given below replaces the goto-loop by a while-based one.

That certainly looks fine.  I would also replace the 'return' with
'break', but I guess that's more of a question of personal preference.

Besides, it removes the export for the same routine, because there are
no users for it outside of the core VFS code.

This doesn't look fine.  Did you test this?

Oops, my fault. Of course, I tested the patch, but kernel modules are disabled in my test setup, so I missed the error. Thanks for pointing that out, Zach.

Enclosed to this message is a new patch, which replaces the goto-loop by the while-based one, but leaves the EXPORT_SYMBOL macro intact.

And yes, I agree that for this routine, the break statement looks more appropriate than return.


mntput_no_expire() is called from mntput() which is an inline function
in mount.h.  So lots of callers of mntput() in modules will end up
trying to call mntput_no_expire() from modules.

$ nm fs/fuse/fuse.ko | grep mntput_no_expire
                 U mntput_no_expire
