Resulting in all kinds of ugliness including a leak of that +mounts involved in the leak of the mount loop. + +Prevent this problem by ensuring that the new mount is reachable from +the current root of the mount tree. + +Upstream-status: Submitted for 3.18 +Bugzilla: 1151095,1151484 + +Reported-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> +Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
