I've looked more closely at this one now and mostly it looks good to me.

But I'm probably a bit slow, there's just one place where I can't work
out the reasoning ....

This bit here.

The test below says (accepting that d_mountpoint() is unreliable in a
multi-namespace environment and needs to be fixed), if this dentry isn't
being expired and it's not a mount and the directory isn't empty then we
can walk straight through the dentry.

For certain automount map constructs it's possible for a dentry that is
not itself a mount point to be expired in the same way a mount or mount
tree is expired.

What's the thinking behind this one please?
