[PATCH 40/76] union-mount: Prevent bind mounts of union mounts

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Valerie Aurora <vaurora@xxxxxxxxxx>

Prevent bind mounts of parts of union mounts.

XXX - Bind mounting parts of union mounts is probably easy to
implement, but requires some careful thought about corner cases,
extensive testing, and some refactoring of the code.
