Subject[PATCH 37/73] union-mount: Prevent topmost file system from being mounted elsewhere [ver #2]
Date
From: Valerie Aurora <vaurora@redhat.com>

The device underlying the topmost read-write layer of a file system
cannot be mounted anywhere else on the system. We keep a pointer to
the union stack in the dentry of the topmost directory, so that dentry
can't be part of a different mount, since dentries are shared between
different mounts of the same device.
