Subject[PATCH] namespace.c: fix bind mount from foreign namespace
From
Date
Bind mount from a foreign namespace results in an un-removable mount.
The reason is that mnt->mnt_namespace is copied from the old mount in
clone_mnt(). Because of this, check_mnt() in sys_umount() will fail.

The solution is to set mnt->mnt_namespace to current->namespace.

clone_mnt() is either called from do_loopback() or copy_tree().
copy_tree() is called from do_loopback() or copy_namespace().

When called (directly or indirectly) from do_loopback(), always
current->namspace is being modified: check_mnt(nd->mnt). So setting
mnt->mnt_namespace to current->namspace is the right thing to do.

When called from copy_namespace(), the setting of mnt_namespace is
irrelevant, since mnt_namespace is reset later in that function for
all copied mounts.
