3.6.11.2 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "Eric W. Biederman" [ Upstream commit 90563b198e4c6674c63672fae1923da467215f45 ] When a read-only bind mount is copied from mount namespace in a higher privileged user namespace to a mount namespace in a lesser privileged user namespace, it should not be possible to remove the the read-only restriction. Add a MNT_LOCK_READONLY mount flag to indicate that a mount must remain read-only. CC: stable@vger.kernel.org Acked-by: Serge Hallyn Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
