[PATCH v2] fs: bound mount propagation fix

From: Roman Borisov
Date: Wed Apr 20 2011 - 10:10:21 EST


MS_SILENT flag cleaning up added to flags_to_propagation_type function.
It was reported that bound mount propagation doesn't work in busybox as by
default busybox mount applet sets the MS_SILENT flag for any mount operation.
Moreover recently added flags_to_propagation_type function doesn't allow to
do such operations as --make-[r]private --make-[r]shared etc. when MS_SILENT
is on.
The idea to clean MS_SILENT flag belongs to Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
