Running a bundled aufs benchmark sometimes results in this warning:
> WARN[0001] Couldn't run auplink before unmount /tmp/aufs-tests/aufs/mnt/XXXXX error="exit status 22" storage-driver=aufs
If we take a look at what aulink utility produces on stderr, we'll see:
> auplink:proc_mnt.c:96: /tmp/aufs-tests/aufs/mnt/XXXXX: Invalid argument
and auplink exits with exit code of 22 (EINVAL).
Looking into auplink source code, what happens is it tries to find a
record in /proc/self/mounts corresponding to the mount point (by using
setmntent()/getmntent_r() glibc functions), and it fails.
Some manual testing, as well as runtime testing with lots of printf
added on mount/unmount, as well as calls to check the superblock fs
magic on mount point (as in graphdriver.Mounted(graphdriver.FsMagicAufs, target)
confirmed that this record is in fact there, but sometimes auplink
can't find it. I was also able to reproduce the same error (inability
to find a mount in /proc/self/mounts that should definitely be there)
using a small C program, mocking what `auplink` does:
```c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <err.h>
#include <mntent.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
FILE *fp;
struct mntent m, *p;
char a[4096];
char buf[4096 + 1024];
int found =0, lines = 0;
if (argc != 2) {
fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s <mountpoint>\n", argv[0]);
exit(1);
}
fp = setmntent("/proc/self/mounts", "r");
if (!fp) {
err(1, "setmntent");
}
setvbuf(fp, a, _IOLBF, sizeof(a));
while ((p = getmntent_r(fp, &m, buf, sizeof(buf)))) {
lines++;
if (!strcmp(p->mnt_dir, argv[1])) {
found++;
}
}
printf("found %d entries for %s (%d lines seen)\n", found, argv[1], lines);
return !found;
}
```
I have also wrote a few other C proggies -- one that reads
/proc/self/mounts directly, one that reads /proc/self/mountinfo instead.
They are also prone to the same occasional error.
It is not perfectly clear why this happens, but so far my best theory
is when a lot of mounts/unmounts happen in parallel with reading
contents of /proc/self/mounts, sometimes the kernel fails to provide
continuity (i.e. it skips some part of file or mixes it up in some
other way). In other words, this is a kernel bug (which is probably
hard to fix unless some other interface to get a mount entry is added).
Now, there is no real fix, and a workaround I was able to come up
with is to retry when we got EINVAL. It usually works on the second
attempt, although I've once seen it took two attempts to go through.

1. Use mount.Unmount() which ignores EINVAL ("not mounted") error,
and provides better error diagnostics (so we don't have to explicitly
add target to error messages).
2. Since we're ignoring "not mounted" error, we can call
multiple unmounts without any locking -- but since "auplink flush"
is still involved and can produce an error in logs, let's keep
the check for fs being mounted (it's just a statfs so should be fast).
2. While at it, improve the "can't unmount" error message in Put().

Now all of the storage drivers use the field "storage-driver" in their log
messages, which is set to name of the respective driver.
Storage drivers changed:
- Aufs
- Btrfs
- Devicemapper
- Overlay
- Overlay 2
- Zfs

On aufs, auplink is run before the Unmount. Irrespective of the
result, we proceed to issue a Unmount syscall. In which case,
demote erros on auplink to warning.
