Re: [CFT][PATCH 0/10] Making new mounts of proc and sysfs as safe as bind mounts

Can we please just get rid of this implicit nodev thing once and for all?  If it
breaks some really weird /proc use case, then I think the right fix is to
stop enforcing the nodev lock for the proc fully visible check.  After
all, /proc doesn't contain useful device nodes anyway.

On second look I don't think that will actually cause issues in this
case.

I actually have a fix for the implicit nodev weirdness in my development
qeueue but it requires figuring out how to add s_user_ns to superblocks.
My last round of testing told me I was doing that wrong.

But if the implicit nodev is actually a problem I will definitely delay
this until I have that change ready to go as well.

Other than that, the code here looks okay to me on brief inspection.

At a practical level I am concerned that enforcing things like noexec
and nosuid from the original normal global proc might cause problems for
things like sandstorm, lxc, and possibly libvirt-lxc.  So I would really
appreciate if people associated with those projects could test this and
tell me if I break things.

Other than my stupid refactor in my code for /proc/fs/nfsd that causes
the kernel to oops :(  Doh!
