As I read the code mnt_set_expiry is only for nfs, cifs, and afs submounts (and perhaps proc should use them). So as they are generated mnt_expiry should never start on the root of filesystem of the mount tree. Furthermore mnt_expiry is cleared when a mount is moved, and when it is bind mounted, or propagated. pivot_root does look as though it may be missing the proper mnt_expiry handling list_del_init(&old->mnt_expire), but pivot_root does have proper MNT_LOCKED handling. Looking that test was slightly off and it should be: if ((flag & CL_UNPRIVILEGED) && (!(flag & CL_EXPIRE) || list_empty(&old->mnt_expire)) mnt->mnt.mnt_flags |= MNT_LOCKED; So on that note we might clear CL_EXPIRE when CL_UNPRIVILEGED is set in copy_tree but I don't see that as being really needed.
