X-Git-Tag: v2.6.28-rc1~24^2~6
X-Git-Url: http://www.pilppa.org/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0e55a7cca4b66f625d67b292f80b6a976e77c51b;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

[RFC PATCH] touch_mnt_namespace when the mount flags change

Daemons that need to be launched while the rootfs is read-only can now
poll /proc/mounts to be notified when their O_RDWR requests may no
longer end in EROFS.
