The patch titled unprivileged mounts: add "no submounts" flag has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is unprivileged-mounts-add-no-submounts-flag.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: unprivileged mounts: add "no submounts" flag From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx> Add a new mount flag "nomnt", which denies submounts for the owner. This would be useful, if we want to support traditional /etc/fstab based user mounts. In this case mount(8) would still have to be suid-root, to check the mountpoint against the user/users flag in /etc/fstab, but /etc/mtab would no longer be mandatory for storing the actual owner of the mount.
