A few sentences, which are required for understanging this patch
2a) A shared mount can be replicated to as many mountpoints and all the
replicas continue to be exactly same.
2b) A slave mount is like a shared mount except that mount and umount
events only propagate towards it.
2c) A private mount does not forward or receive propagation.
All rules is there Documentation/filesystems/sharedsubtree.txt
If it's a first mount in a group, all group members should be
bind-mounted from this one.
Each mount propagates to all members of parent's group. The group can
contains a few slaves.
Mounts, which have propagated to slaves, are unmounted, because we can't
be sure, that they propagated in real life. For example:
mount --bind --make-slave /share /slave1
mount --bind --make-slave /share /slave2
mount /share/test
umount /slave2/test
mount --make-share /slave1/test
mount --bind --make-share /slave1/test /slave2/test
41 40 0:33 / /share rw,relatime shared:28 - tmpfs xxx rw
42 40 0:33 / /slave1 rw,relatime master:28 - tmpfs xxx rw
43 40 0:33 / /slave2 rw,relatime master:28 - tmpfs xxx rw
44 41 0:34 / /share/test rw,relatime shared:29 - tmpfs xxx rw
46 42 0:34 / /slave1/test rw,relatime shared:30 master:29 - tmpfs xxx rw
45 43 0:34 / /slave2/test rw,relatime shared:30 master:29 - tmpfs xxx rw
/slave1/test and /slave2/test depend on each other and minimum one of them
doesn't propagate from /share/test
v2: use false and true for bool
