    Subject[PATCH 36/73] union-mount: Prevent improper union-related remounts [ver #2]
    Date
    From: Valerie Aurora <vaurora@redhat.com>

    A remount request must not (a) convert a union to a non-union (or vice
    versa), or (b) make the topmost layer of a union read-only.

    Note that we only have to worry about attempts to remount the vfsmount
    of the topmost read-write of the union (the one with MNT_UNION set).
    The vfsmounts of the read-only layers are hidden in a cloned tree
    hanging of the superblock of the topmost layer and aren't visible to
    userspace.
