Something like this?

...
struct vfsmount *mnt = find_vfsmount(inode->i_sb->s_root);
...

static struct vfsmount *find_vfsmount(struct dentry *d) {
   struct list_head *list = &current->fs->rootmnt->mnt_list;
   struct list_head *pos;

   list_for_each(pos, list) {
	  struct vfsmount *entry = list_entry(pos, struct vfsmount, mnt_list);
	  if(entry->mnt_root == d)
			return entry;
   }

   return(NULL);
}

Does not work (returns NULL), for files NOT on /.  This is under UML if
it makes a difference.  

Am I getting what I want with list_entry?  I am still wrapping my head
around the kernels way of doing linked lists.

Ideas?
