+4.2	Mount restrictions
+--------------------------
+
+If user namespaces are in use, the kernel additionally checks the instances of
+procfs available to the mounter and will not allow procfs to be mounted if:
+
+  1. This mount is not fully visible.
+
+     a. It's root directory is not the root directory of the filesystem.
+     b. If any file or non-empty procfs directory is hidden by another mount.
+
+  2. A new mount overrides the readonly option or any option from atime familty.
