From my observation with gdb:
1. calling fstatat() with AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW does NOT trigger the mount.
2. calling fstatat() without AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW triggers the mount, opening a directory as well.

If you are asking which events are guaranteed to trigger the mount and/or which events are guaranteed to NOT trigger the mount, kernel guys might give you a reliable answer.

Jeff, any idea?
