This bug is that one can't mount bind mounts readonly but can only remount them readonly which is insufficient for recursive bind mounts and certain kinds of sandboxing. Also the bind mount fails silenty without giving an error which is never a good idea. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
