If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "Eric W. Biederman" commit f9bd6733d3f11e24f3949becf277507d422ee1eb upstream. Add a magic sysctl table sysctl_mount_point that when used to create a directory forces that directory to be permanently empty. Update the code to use make_empty_dir_inode when accessing permanently empty directories. Update the code to not allow adding to permanently empty directories. Update /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc to be a permanently empty directory. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
