Various distributions are adding or are in the process of adding support
for system extensions and in the future configuration extensions through
various tools. A more detailed explanation on system and configuration
extensions can be found on the manpage which is listed below at [1].
System extension images may – dynamically at runtime — extend the /usr/
and /opt/ directory hierarchies with additional files. This is
particularly useful on immutable system images where a /usr/ and/or
/opt/ hierarchy residing on a read-only file system shall be extended
temporarily at runtime without making any persistent modifications.
When one or more system extension images are activated, their /usr/ and
/opt/ hierarchies are combined via overlayfs with the same hierarchies
of the host OS, and the host /usr/ and /opt/ overmounted with it
("merging"). When they are deactivated, the mount point is disassembled
— again revealing the unmodified original host version of the hierarchy
("unmerging"). Merging thus makes the extension's resources suddenly
appear below the /usr/ and /opt/ hierarchies as if they were included in
the base OS image itself. Unmerging makes them disappear again, leaving
in place only the files that were shipped with the base OS image itself.
System configuration images are similar but operate on directories
containing system or service configuration.
On nearly all modern distributions mount propagation plays a crucial
role and the rootfs of the OS is a shared mount in a peer group (usually
with peer group id 1):
TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE PROPAGATION MNT_ID PARENT_ID
/ / ext4 shared:1 29 1
On such systems all services and containers run in a separate mount
namespace and are pivot_root()ed into their rootfs. A separate mount
namespace is almost always used as it is the minimal isolation mechanism
services have. But usually they are even much more isolated up to the
point where they almost become indistinguishable from containers.
Mount propagation again plays a crucial role here. The rootfs of all
these services is a slave mount to the peer group of the host rootfs.
This is done so the service will receive mount propagation events from
the host when certain files or directories are updated.
In addition, the rootfs of each service, container, and sandbox is also
a shared mount in its separate peer group:
TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE PROPAGATION MNT_ID PARENT_ID
/ / ext4 shared:24 master:1 71 47
For people not too familiar with mount propagation, the master:1 means
that this is a slave mount to peer group 1. Which as one can see is the
host rootfs as indicated by shared:1 above. The shared:24 indicates that
the service rootfs is a shared mount in a separate peer group with peer
group id 24.
A service may run other services. Such nested services will also have a
rootfs mount that is a slave to the peer group of the outer service
rootfs mount.
For containers things are just slighly different. A container's rootfs
isn't a slave to the service's or host rootfs' peer group. The rootfs
mount of a container is simply a shared mount in its own peer group:
TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE PROPAGATION MNT_ID PARENT_ID
/home/ubuntu/debian-tree / ext4 shared:99 61 60
So whereas services are isolated OS components a container is treated
like a separate world and mount propagation into it is restricted to a
single well known mount that is a slave to the peer group of the shared
mount /run on the host:
TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE PROPAGATION MNT_ID PARENT_ID
/propagate/debian-tree /run/host/incoming tmpfs master:5 71 68
Here, the master:5 indicates that this mount is a slave to the peer
group with peer group id 5. This allows to propagate mounts into the
container and served as a workaround for not being able to insert mounts
into mount namespaces directly. But the new mount api does support
inserting mounts directly. For the interested reader the blogpost in [2]
might be worth reading where I explain the old and the new approach to
inserting mounts into mount namespaces.
Containers of course, can themselves be run as services. They often run
full systems themselves which means they again run services and
containers with the exact same propagation settings explained above.
The whole system is designed so that it can be easily updated, including
all services in various fine-grained ways without having to enter every
single service's mount namespace which would be prohibitively expensive.
The mount propagation layout has been carefully chosen so it is possible
to propagate updates for system extensions and configurations from the
host into all services.
The simplest model to update the whole system is to mount on top of
/usr, /opt, or /etc on the host. The new mount on /usr, /opt, or /etc
will then propagate into every service. This works cleanly the first
time. However, when the system is updated multiple times it becomes
necessary to unmount the first update on /opt, /usr, /etc and then
propagate the new update. But this means, there's an interval where the
old base system is accessible. This has to be avoided to protect against
downgrade attacks.
The vfs already exposes a mechanism to userspace whereby mounts can be
mounted beneath an existing mount. Such mounts are internally referred
to as "tucked". The patch series exposes the ability to mount beneath a
top mount through the new MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH flag for the move_mount()
system call. This allows userspace to seamlessly upgrade mounts. After
this series the only thing that will have changed is that mounting
beneath an existing mount can be done explicitly instead of just
implicitly.
Today, there are two scenarios where a mount can be mounted beneath an
existing mount instead of on top of it:
(1) When a service or container is started in a new mount namespace and
pivot_root()s into its new rootfs. The way this is done is by
mounting the new rootfs beneath the old rootfs:
fd_newroot = open("/var/lib/machines/fedora", ...);
fd_oldroot = open("/", ...);
fchdir(fd_newroot);
pivot_root(".", ".");
After the pivot_root(".", ".") call the new rootfs is mounted
beneath the old rootfs which can then be unmounted to reveal the
underlying mount:
fchdir(fd_oldroot);
umount2(".", MNT_DETACH);
Since pivot_root() moves the caller into a new rootfs no mounts must
be propagated out of the new rootfs as a consequence of the
pivot_root() call. Thus, the mounts cannot be shared.
(2) When a mount is propagated to a mount that already has another mount
mounted on the same dentry.
The easiest example for this is to create a new mount namespace. The
following commands will create a mount namespace where the rootfs
mount / will be a slave to the peer group of the host rootfs /
mount's peer group. IOW, it will receive propagation from the host:
mount --make-shared /
unshare --mount --propagation=slave
Now a new mount on the /mnt dentry in that mount namespace is
created. (As it can be confusing it should be spelled out that the
tmpfs mount on the /mnt dentry that was just created doesn't
propagate back to the host because the rootfs mount / of the mount
namespace isn't a peer of the host rootfs.):
mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /mnt
TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE PROPAGATION
└─/mnt tmpfs tmpfs
Now another terminal in the host mount namespace can observe that
the mount indeed hasn't propagated back to into the host mount
namespace. A new mount can now be created on top of the /mnt dentry
with the rootfs mount / as its parent:
mount --bind /opt /mnt
TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE PROPAGATION
└─/mnt /dev/sda2[/opt] ext4 shared:1
The mount namespace that was created earlier can now observe that
the bind mount created on the host has propagated into it:
TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE PROPAGATION
└─/mnt /dev/sda2[/opt] ext4 master:1
└─/mnt tmpfs tmpfs
But instead of having been mounted on top of the tmpfs mount at the
/mnt dentry the /opt mount has been mounted on top of the rootfs
mount at the /mnt dentry. And the tmpfs mount has been remounted on
top of the propagated /opt mount at the /opt dentry. So in other
words, the propagated mount has been mounted beneath the preexisting
mount in that mount namespace.
Mount namespaces make this easy to illustrate but it's also easy to
mount beneath an existing mount in the same mount namespace
(The following example assumes a shared rootfs mount / with peer
group id 1):
mount --bind /opt /opt
TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE MNT_ID PARENT_ID PROPAGATION
└─/opt /dev/sda2[/opt] ext4 188 29 shared:1
If another mount is mounted on top of the /opt mount at the /opt
dentry:
mount --bind /tmp /opt
The following clunky mount tree will result:
TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE MNT_ID PARENT_ID PROPAGATION
└─/opt /dev/sda2[/tmp] ext4 405 29 shared:1
└─/opt /dev/sda2[/opt] ext4 188 405 shared:1
└─/opt /dev/sda2[/tmp] ext4 404 188 shared:1
The /tmp mount is mounted beneath the /opt mount and another copy is
mounted on top of the /opt mount. This happens because the rootfs /
and the /opt mount are shared mounts in the same peer group.
When the new /tmp mount is supposed to be mounted at the /opt dentry
then the /tmp mount first propagates to the root mount at the /opt
dentry. But there already is the /opt mount mounted at the /opt
dentry. So the old /opt mount at the /opt dentry will be mounted on
top of the new /tmp mount at the /tmp dentry, i.e. @opt->mnt_parent
is @tmp and @opt->mnt_mountpoint is /tmp (Note that @opt->mnt_root
is /opt which is what shows up as /opt under SOURCE). So again, a
mount will be mounted beneath a preexisting mount.
(Fwiw, a few iterations of mount --bind /opt /opt in a loop on a
shared rootfs is a good example of what could be referred to as
mount explosion.)
The main point is that such mounts allows userspace to umount a top
mount and reveal an underlying mount. So for example, umounting the
tmpfs mount on /mnt that was created in example (1) using mount
namespaces reveals the /opt mount which was mounted beneath it.
In (2) where a mount was mounted beneath the top mount in the same mount
namespace unmounting the top mount would unmount both the top mount and
the mount beneath. In the process the original mount would be remounted
on top of the rootfs mount / at the /opt dentry again.
This again, is a result of mount propagation only this time it's umount
propagation. However, this can be avoided by simply making the parent
mount / of the @opt mount a private or slave mount. Then the top mount
and the original mount can be unmounted to reveal the mount beneath.
These two examples are fairly arcane and are merely added to make it
clear how mount propagation has effects on current and future features.
More common use-cases will just be things like:
mount -t btrfs /dev/sdA /mnt
mount -t xfs /dev/sdB --beneath /mnt
umount /mnt
after which we'll have updated from a btrfs filesystem to a xfs
filesystem without ever revealing the underlying mountpoint.
The crux is that the proposed mechanism already exists and that it is so
powerful as to cover cases where mounts are supposed to be updated with
new versions. Crucially, it offers an important flexibility. Namely that
updates to a system may either be forced or can be delayed and the
umount of the top mount be left to a service if it is a cooperative one.
This adds a new flag to move_mount() that allows to explicitly move a
beneath the top mount adhering to the following semantics:
* Mounts cannot be mounted beneath the rootfs. This restriction
encompasses the rootfs but also chroots via chroot() and pivot_root().
To mount a mount beneath the rootfs or a chroot, pivot_root() can be
used as illustrated above.
* The source mount must be a private mount to force the kernel to
allocate a new, unused peer group id. This isn't a required
restriction but a voluntary one. It avoids repeating a semantical
quirk that already exists today. If bind mounts which already have a
peer group id are inserted into mount trees that have the same peer
group id this can cause a lot of mount propagation events to be
generated (For example, consider running mount --bind /opt /opt in a
loop where the parent mount is a shared mount.).
* Avoid getting rid of the top mount in the kernel. Cooperative services
need to be able to unmount the top mount themselves.
This also avoids a good deal of additional complexity. The umount
would have to be propagated which would be another rather expensive
operation. So namespace_lock() and lock_mount_hash() would potentially
have to be held for a long time for both a mount and umount
propagation. That should be avoided.
* The path to mount beneath must be mounted and attached.
* The top mount and its parent must be in the caller's mount namespace
and the caller must be able to mount in that mount namespace.
* The caller must be able to unmount the top mount to prove that they
could reveal the underlying mount.
* The propagation tree is calculated based on the destination mount's
parent mount and the destination mount's mountpoint on the parent
mount. Of course, if the parent of the destination mount and the
destination mount are shared mounts in the same peer group and the
mountpoint of the new mount to be mounted is a subdir of their
->mnt_root then both will receive a mount of /opt. That's probably
easier to understand with an example. Assuming a standard shared
rootfs /:
mount --bind /opt /opt
mount --bind /tmp /opt
will cause the same mount tree as:
mount --bind /opt /opt
mount --beneath /tmp /opt
because both / and /opt are shared mounts/peers in the same peer
group and the /opt dentry is a subdirectory of both the parent's and
the child's ->mnt_root. If a mount tree like that is created it almost
always is an accident or abuse of mount propagation. Realistically
what most people probably mean in this scenarios is:
mount --bind /opt /opt
mount --make-private /opt
mount --make-shared /opt
This forces the allocation of a new separate peer group for the /opt
mount. Aferwards a mount --bind or mount --beneath actually makes
sense as the / and /opt mount belong to different peer groups. Before
that it's likely just confusion about what the user wanted to achieve.
* Refuse MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH if:
(1) the @mnt_from has been overmounted in between path resolution and
acquiring @namespace_sem when locking @mnt_to. This avoids the
proliferation of shadow mounts.
(2) if @to_mnt is moved to a different mountpoint while acquiring
@namespace_sem to lock @to_mnt.
(3) if @to_mnt is unmounted while acquiring @namespace_sem to lock
@to_mnt.
(4) if the parent of the target mount propagates to the target mount
at the same mountpoint.
This would mean mounting @mnt_from on @mnt_to->mnt_parent and then
propagating a copy @c of @mnt_from onto @mnt_to. This defeats the
whole purpose of mounting @mnt_from beneath @mnt_to.
(5) if the parent mount @mnt_to->mnt_parent propagates to @mnt_from at
the same mountpoint.
If @mnt_to->mnt_parent propagates to @mnt_from this would mean
propagating a copy @c of @mnt_from on top of @mnt_from. Afterwards
@mnt_from would be mounted on top of @mnt_to->mnt_parent and
@mnt_to would be unmounted from @mnt->mnt_parent and remounted on
@mnt_from. But since @c is already mounted on @mnt_from, @mnt_to
would ultimately be remounted on top of @c. Afterwards, @mnt_from
would be covered by a copy @c of @mnt_from and @c would be covered
by @mnt_from itself. This defeats the whole purpose of mounting
@mnt_from beneath @mnt_to.
Cases (1) to (3) are required as they deal with races that would cause
bugs or unexpected behavior for users. Cases (4) and (5) refuse
semantical quirks that would not be a bug but would cause weird mount
trees to be created. While they can already be created via other means
(mount --bind /opt /opt x n) there's no reason to repeat past mistakes
in new features.

Creating a series of detached mounts, attaching them to the filesystem,
and unmounting them can be used to trigger an integer overflow in
ns->mounts causing the kernel to block any new mounts in count_mounts()
and returning ENOSPC because it falsely assumes that the maximum number
of mounts in the mount namespace has been reached, i.e. it thinks it
can't fit the new mounts into the mount namespace anymore.
Depending on the number of mounts in your system, this can be reproduced

and wait for the kernel to refuse any new mounts by returning ENOSPC.
How many iterations are needed depends on the number of mounts in your
system. Assuming you have something like 50 mounts on a standard system
it should be almost instantaneous.
The root cause of this is that detached mounts aren't handled correctly
when source and target mount are identical and reside on a shared mount
causing a broken mount tree where the detached source itself is
propagated which propagation prevents for regular bind-mounts and new
mounts. This ultimately leads to a miscalculation of the number of
mounts in the mount namespace.
Detached mounts created via
open_tree(fd, path, OPEN_TREE_CLONE)
are essentially like an unattached new mount, or an unattached
bind-mount. They can then later on be attached to the filesystem via
move_mount() which calls into attach_recursive_mount(). Part of
attaching it to the filesystem is making sure that mounts get correctly
propagated in case the destination mountpoint is MS_SHARED, i.e. is a
shared mountpoint. This is done by calling into propagate_mnt() which
walks the list of peers calling propagate_one() on each mount in this
list making sure it receives the propagation event.
The propagate_one() functions thereby skips both new mounts and bind
mounts to not propagate them "into themselves". Both are identified by
checking whether the mount is already attached to any mount namespace in
mnt->mnt_ns. The is what the IS_MNT_NEW() helper is responsible for.
However, detached mounts have an anonymous mount namespace attached to
them stashed in mnt->mnt_ns which means that IS_MNT_NEW() doesn't
realize they need to be skipped causing the mount to propagate "into
itself" breaking the mount table and causing a disconnect between the
number of mounts recorded as being beneath or reachable from the target
mountpoint and the number of mounts actually recorded/counted in
ns->mounts ultimately causing an overflow which in turn prevents any new
mounts via the ENOSPC issue.
So teach propagation to handle detached mounts by making it aware of
them. I've been tracking this issue down for the last couple of days and
then verifying that the fix is correct by
unmounting everything in my current mount table leaving only /proc and
/sys mounted and running the reproducer above overnight verifying the
number of mounts counted in ns->mounts. With this fix the counts are
correct and the ENOSPC issue can't be reproduced.
This change will only have an effect on mounts created with the new
mount API since detached mounts cannot be created with the old mount API
so regressions are extremely unlikely.

Missing calls to mntget() (or equivalently, too many calls to mntput())
are hard to detect because mntput() delays freeing mounts using
task_work_add(), then again using call_rcu(). As a result, mnt_count
can often be decremented to -1 without getting a KASAN use-after-free
report. Such cases are still bugs though, and they point to real
use-after-frees being possible.
For an example of this, see the bug fixed by commit 1b0b9cc8d379
("vfs: fsmount: add missing mntget()"), discussed at
https://lkml.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20190605135401.GB30925@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/T/#u.
This bug *should* have been trivial to find. But actually, it wasn't
found until syzkaller happened to use fchdir() to manipulate the
reference count just right for the bug to be noticeable.
Address this by making mntput_no_expire() issue a WARN if mnt_count has
become negative.

Ever since mount propagation was introduced in cases where a mount in
propagated to parent mount mountpoint pair that is already in use the
code has placed the new mount behind the old mount in the mount hash
table.
This implementation detail is problematic as it allows creating
arbitrary length mount hash chains.
Furthermore it invalidates the constraint maintained elsewhere in the
mount code that a parent mount and a mountpoint pair will have exactly
one mount upon them. Making it hard to deal with and to talk about
this special case in the mount code.
Modify mount propagation to notice when there is already a mount at
the parent mount and mountpoint where a new mount is propagating to
and place that preexisting mount on top of the new mount.
Modify unmount propagation to notice when a mount that is being
unmounted has another mount on top of it (and no other children), and
to replace the unmounted mount with the mount on top of it.
Move the MNT_UMUONT test from __lookup_mnt_last into
__propagate_umount as that is the only call of __lookup_mnt_last where
MNT_UMOUNT may be set on any mount visible in the mount hash table.
These modifications allow:
- __lookup_mnt_last to be removed.
- attach_shadows to be renamed __attach_mnt and its shadow
handling to be removed.
- commit_tree to be simplified
- copy_tree to be simplified
The result is an easier to understand tree of mounts that does not
allow creation of arbitrary length hash chains in the mount hash table.
The result is also a very slight userspace visible difference in semantics.
The following two cases now behave identically, where before order
mattered:
case 1: (explicit user action)
B is a slave of A
mount something on A/a , it will propagate to B/a
and than mount something on B/a
case 2: (tucked mount)
B is a slave of A
mount something on B/a
and than mount something on A/a
Histroically umount A/a would fail in case 1 and succeed in case 2.
Now umount A/a succeeds in both configurations.
This very small change in semantics appears if anything to be a bug
fix to me and my survey of userspace leads me to believe that no programs
will notice or care of this subtle semantic change.
v2: Updated to mnt_change_mountpoint to not call dput or mntput
and instead to decrement the counts directly. It is guaranteed
that there will be other references when mnt_change_mountpoint is
called so this is safe.
v3: Moved put_mountpoint under mount_lock in attach_recursive_mnt
As the locking in fs/namespace.c changed between v2 and v3.
v4: Reworked the logic in propagate_mount_busy and __propagate_umount
that detects when a mount completely covers another mount.
v5: Removed unnecessary tests whose result is alwasy true in
find_topper and attach_recursive_mnt.
v6: Document the user space visible semantic difference.

CAI Qian <caiqian@redhat.com> pointed out that the semantics
of shared subtrees make it possible to create an exponentially
increasing number of mounts in a mount namespace.
mkdir /tmp/1 /tmp/2
mount --make-rshared /
for i in $(seq 1 20) ; do mount --bind /tmp/1 /tmp/2 ; done
Will create create 2^20 or 1048576 mounts, which is a practical problem
as some people have managed to hit this by accident.
As such CVE-2016-6213 was assigned.
Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net> described the situation for autofs users
as follows:
> The number of mounts for direct mount maps is usually not very large because of
> the way they are implemented, large direct mount maps can have performance
> problems. There can be anywhere from a few (likely case a few hundred) to less

> more active mounts.
So I am setting the default number of mounts allowed per mount
namespace at 100,000. This is more than enough for any use case I
know of, but small enough to quickly stop an exponential increase
in mounts. Which should be perfect to catch misconfigurations and
malfunctioning programs.
For anyone who needs a higher limit this can be changed by writing
to the new /proc/sys/fs/mount-max sysctl.

rmdir mntpoint will result in an infinite loop when there is
a mount locked on the mountpoint in another mount namespace.
This is because the logic to test to see if a mount should
be disconnected in umount_tree is buggy.
Move the logic to decide if a mount should remain connected to
it's mountpoint into it's own function disconnect_mount so that
clarity of expression instead of terseness of expression becomes
a virtue.
When the conditions where it is invalid to leave a mount connected
are first ruled out, the logic for deciding if a mount should
be disconnected becomes much clearer and simpler.

Modify umount(MNT_DETACH) to keep mounts in the hash table that are
locked to their parent mounts, when the parent is lazily unmounted.
In mntput_no_expire detach the children from the hash table, depending
on mnt_pin_kill in cleanup_mnt to decrement the mnt_count of the children.
In __detach_mounts if there are any mounts that have been unmounted
but still are on the list of mounts of a mountpoint, remove their
children from the mount hash table and those children to the unmounted
list so they won't linger potentially indefinitely waiting for their
final mntput, now that the mounts serve no purpose.

If the first mount in shared subtree is locked don't unmount the
shared subtree.
This is ensured by walking through the mounts parents before children
and marking a mount as unmountable if it is not locked or it is locked
but it's parent is marked.
This allows recursive mount detach to propagate through a set of
mounts when unmounting them would not reveal what is under any locked
mount.

A prerequisite of calling umount_tree is that the point where the tree
is mounted at is valid to unmount.
If we are propagating the effect of the unmount clear MNT_LOCKED in
every instance where the same filesystem is mounted on the same
mountpoint in the mount tree, as we know (by virtue of the fact
that umount_tree was called) that it is safe to reveal what
is at that mountpoint.

umount_tree builds a list of mounts that need to be unmounted.
Utilize mnt_list for this purpose instead of mnt_hash. This begins to
allow keeping a mount on the mnt_hash after it is unmounted, which is
necessary for a properly functioning MNT_LOCKED implementation.
The fact that mnt_list is an ordinary list makding available list_move
is nice bonus.

- Remove the unneeded declaration from pnode.h
- Mark umount_tree static as it has no callers outside of namespace.c
- Define an enumeration of umount_tree's flags.
- Pass umount_tree's flags in by name
This removes the magic numbers 0, 1 and 2 making the code a little
clearer and makes it possible for there to be lazy unmounts that don't
propagate. Which is what __detach_mounts actually wants for example.

The current mainline has copies propagated to *all* nodes, then
tears down the copies we made for nodes that do not contain
counterparts of the desired mountpoint. That sets the right
propagation graph for the copies (at teardown time we move
the slaves of removed node to a surviving peer or directly
to master), but we end up paying a fairly steep price in
useless allocations. It's fairly easy to create a situation
where N calls of mount(2) create exactly N bindings, with
O(N^2) vfsmounts allocated and freed in process.
Fortunately, it is possible to avoid those allocations/freeings.
The trick is to create copies in the right order and find which
one would've eventually become a master with the current algorithm.
It turns out to be possible in O(nodes getting propagation) time
and with no extra allocations at all.
One part is that we need to make sure that eventual master will be
created before its slaves, so we need to walk the propagation
tree in a different order - by peer groups. And iterate through
the peers before dealing with the next group.
Another thing is finding the (earlier) copy that will be a master
of one we are about to create; to do that we are (temporary) marking
the masters of mountpoints we are attaching the copies to.
Either we are in a peer of the last mountpoint we'd dealt with,
or we have the following situation: we are attaching to mountpoint M,
the last copy S_0 had been attached to M_0 and there are sequences
S_0...S_n, M_0...M_n such that S_{i+1} is a master of S_{i},
S_{i} mounted on M{i} and we need to create a slave of the first S_{k}
such that M is getting propagation from M_{k}. It means that the master
of M_{k} will be among the sequence of masters of M. On the
other hand, the nearest marked node in that sequence will either
be the master of M_{k} or the master of M_{k-1} (the latter -
in the case if M_{k-1} is a slave of something M gets propagation
from, but in a wrong peer group).
So we go through the sequence of masters of M until we find
a marked one (P). Let N be the one before it. Then we go through
the sequence of masters of S_0 until we find one (say, S) mounted
on a node D that has P as master and check if D is a peer of N.
If it is, S will be the master of new copy, if not - the master of S
will be.
That's it for the hard part; the rest is fairly simple. Iterator
is in next_group(), handling of one prospective mountpoint is
propagate_one().
It seems to survive all tests and gives a noticably better performance
than the current mainline for setups that are seriously using shared
subtrees.

Don't copy bind mounts of /proc/<pid>/ns/mnt between namespaces.
These files hold references to a mount namespace and copying them
between namespaces could result in a reference counting loop.
The current mnt_ns_loop test prevents loops on the assumption that
mounts don't cross between namespaces. Unfortunately unsharing a
mount namespace and shared substrees can both cause mounts to
propogate between mount namespaces.
Add two flags CL_COPY_UNBINDABLE and CL_COPY_MNT_NS_FILE are added to
control this behavior, and CL_COPY_ALL is redefined as both of them.

As a matter of policy MNT_READONLY should not be changable if the
original mounter had more privileges than creator of the mount
namespace.
Add the flag CL_UNPRIVILEGED to note when we are copying a mount from
a mount namespace that requires more privileges to a mount namespace
that requires fewer privileges.
When the CL_UNPRIVILEGED flag is set cause clone_mnt to set MNT_NO_REMOUNT
if any of the mnt flags that should never be changed are set.
This protects both mount propagation and the initial creation of a less
privileged mount namespace.

The handling of mount flags in set_mnt_shared() got a little tangled
up during previous cleanups, with the following problems:
* MNT_PNODE_MASK is defined as a literal constant when it should be a
bitwise xor of other MNT_* flags
* set_mnt_shared() clears and then sets MNT_SHARED (part of MNT_PNODE_MASK)
* MNT_PNODE_MASK could use a comment in mount.h
* MNT_PNODE_MASK is a terrible name, change to MNT_SHARED_MASK

First of all, get_source() never results in CL_PROPAGATION
alone. We either get CL_MAKE_SHARED (for the continuation

(beginning of peer group among slaves). Massage the code to
make that explicit, kill CL_PROPAGATION test in clone_mnt()
(nothing sets CL_MAKE_SHARED without CL_PROPAGATION and in
clone_mnt() we are checking CL_PROPAGATION after we'd found
that there's no CL_SLAVE, so the check for CL_MAKE_SHARED
would do just as well).

An unbindable mount does not forward or receive propagation. Also
unbindable mount disallows bind mounts. The semantics is as follows.
Bind semantics:
It is invalid to bind mount an unbindable mount.
Move semantics:
It is invalid to move an unbindable mount under shared mount.
Clone-namespace semantics:
If a mount is unbindable in the parent namespace, the corresponding
cloned mount in the child namespace becomes unbindable too. Note:
there is subtle difference, unbindable mounts cannot be bind mounted
but can be cloned during clone-namespace.
