--- Comment #12 from Kirk McKusick <mckusick@FreeBSD.org> ---
The proposed fix by Mateusz Guzik is correct. Prior to my changes to vfs_subr.c
the v_mountedhere union element was always zero'ed. Following my changes it was
not. In the lookup function, it checks to see if v_mountedhere != NULL, and if
it is not NULL assumes that it points to a struct mount and passes it to
vfs_busy. If it contains a pointer to some other structure from a previous use
of the vnode, the call to vfs_busy chokes when it attempts to dereference a
mount mutex. I have committed the fix as noted in the above comment.
