From 90563b198e4c6674c63672fae1923da467215f45 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2013 03:10:15 -0700 Subject: vfs: Add a mount flag to lock read only bind mounts When a read-only bind mount is copied from mount namespace in a higher privileged user namespace to a mount namespace in a lesser privileged user namespace, it should not be possible to remove the the read-only restriction. Add a MNT_LOCK_READONLY mount flag to indicate that a mount must remain read-only. CC: stable@vger.kernel.org Acked-by: Serge Hallyn Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
