Al Viro d1ddc6f1d9 fix IS_MNT_PROPAGATING uses
propagate_mnt() does not attach anything to mounts created during
propagate_mnt() itself.  What's more, anything on ->mnt_slave_list
of such new mount must also be new, so we don't need to even look
there.

When move_mount() had been introduced, we've got an additional
class of mounts to skip - if we are moving from anon namespace,
we do not want to propagate to mounts we are moving (i.e. all
mounts in that anon namespace).

Unfortunately, the part about "everything on their ->mnt_slave_list
will also be ignorable" is not true - if we have propagation graph
	A -> B -> C
and do OPEN_TREE_CLONE open_tree() of B, we get
	A -> [B <-> B'] -> C
as propagation graph, where B' is a clone of B in our detached tree.
Making B private will result in
	A -> B' -> C
C still gets propagation from A, as it would after making B private
if we hadn't done that open_tree(), but now the propagation goes
through B'.  Trying to move_mount() our detached tree on subdirectory
in A should have
	* moved B' on that subdirectory in A
	* skipped the corresponding subdirectory in B' itself
	* copied B' on the corresponding subdirectory in C.
As it is, the logics in propagation_next() and friends ends up
skipping propagation into C, since it doesn't consider anything
downstream of B'.

IOW, walking the propagation graph should only skip the ->mnt_slave_list
of new mounts; the only places where the check for "in that one
anon namespace" are applicable are propagate_one() (where we should
treat that as the same kind of thing as "mountpoint we are looking
at is not visible in the mount we are looking at") and
propagation_would_overmount().  The latter is better dealt with
in the caller (can_move_mount_beneath()); on the first call of
propagation_would_overmount() the test is always false, on the
second it is always true in "move from anon namespace" case and
always false in "move within our namespace" one, so it's easier
to just use check_mnt() before bothering with the second call and
be done with that.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
