From 4fed655c410cc56add64c7b1f7c85c7c56066ac2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Wed, 8 Oct 2014 10:42:57 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mnt: Clear mnt_expire during pivot_root When inspecting the pivot_root and the current mount expiry logic I realized that pivot_root fails to clear like mount move does. Add the missing line in case someone does the interesting feat of moving an expirable submount. This gives a strong guarantee that root of the filesystem tree will never expire.
