From 182c1e839c440d3fe3f158b356026140ff19593d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Kerrisk Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2018 15:58:55 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mount.2: MS_SILENT is ignored when changing propagation type MS_SILENT can be specified when changing propagation type, but is ignored, as far as I can see from reading the code. (The flags are passed to do_change_type(), which, as well as the propagation flags, allows MS_REC and MS_SILENT (in flags_to_propagation_type()), but does noting with MS_SILENT.
