[REVIEW][PATCH 4/4] proc: Point /proc/mounts at /proc/thread-self/mounts instead of /proc/self/mounts

From: Eric W. Biederman <hidden>
Date: 2014-08-01 00:35:27
Also in: linux-fsdevel, lkml
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), proc filesystem, the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

In oddball cases where the thread has a different mount namespace than
the thread group leader or more likely in cases where the thread
remains and the thread group leader has exited this ensures that
/proc/mounts continues to work.

This should not cause any problems but if it does this patch can just
be reverted.
