    I don't think so, because IIUC that is only for "superblock flags",
    i.e. flags which are part of the sb_flags definition in
    do_mount()/path_mount()?

    https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/fs/namespace.c#L3172

    With the current code I'm able to remount and flip nosymfollow both
    directions without issue. Similarly, MS_NOEXEC can be turned on and
    off at will, and it's not part of MS_RMT_MASK nor sb_flags.

    Interestingly, though, if you change MS_RMT_MASK to be 0, I would
    expect us to be unable to twiddle all the flags which are currently
    part of it, but that isn't the case. I was still able to change
    between RO/RW, and turn on lazytime.

    So, I think this flag is working as expected, but that there is
    probably a bug in there somewhere WRT the handling of MS_RMT_MASK.
