From: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@xxxxxxxxxx> So far ecryptfs only verified that the superblock wasn't read-only but didn't check whether the mount was. This made sense when we did not use a private mount because the read-only state could change at any point. Now that we have a private mount and mount properties can't change behind our back extend the read-only check to include the vfsmount. The __mnt_is_readonly() helper will check both the mount and the superblock. Note that before we checked root->d_sb and now we check mnt->mnt_sb but since we have a matching <vfsmount, dentry> pair here this is only syntactical change, not a semantic one. Overlayfs and cachefiles have been changed to check this as well.
