>> During the process of mounting an NFSv4 client, two superblocks will be

>> The flag passed from user mode will only be passed to the first

>> EBUSY on the second execution. However, if a remount command with the 
>> 'ro'
>> parameter is executed between the two mount commands, both mount 
>> commands
>> will create new vfsmounts.
>>
>> The superblock generated after the first mount command does not have the
>> 'ro' flag, and the read-only status of the file system is implemented by
>> checking the read-only flag of the vfsmount. After executing the remount
>> command, the 'ro' flag will be added to the superblock. When the second
>> mount command is executed, the comparison result between the superblock
>> with the 'ro' flag and the fs_context without the flag in the
>> nfs_compare_mount_options() function will be different, resulting in the
>> creation of a new vfsmount.
>>
>> This problem can be reproduced by performing the following operations:
>> mount -t nfs -o ro,vers=4.0 192.168.240.250:/sdb /mnt/sdb
>> mount -t nfs -o remount,ro,vers=4.0 192.168.240.250:/sdb /mnt/sdb
>> mount -t nfs -o ro,vers=4.0 192.168.240.250:/sdb /mnt/sdb
>> Two vfsmounts are generated:
>> [root at localhost ~]# mount | grep nfs
>> 192.168.240.250:/sdb on /mnt/sdb type nfs4 (ro,relatime,vers=4.0,
>> rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2, 
>>
>> sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.240.251,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.240.250)
>> 192.168.240.250:/sdb on /mnt/sdb type nfs4 (ro,relatime,vers=4.0,
>> rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,

>> sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.240.251,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.240.250)

>> Fix this by setting sb_flags to second superblock.
