MS_PRIVATE says ops on children (mount, unmount) won't be propageted,
MS_UNBINDABLE says the mount itself won't be copied.
I think it may make sense to introduce a new flag similar to
MS_UNBINDABLE that applies to namespace cloning as well as bind
mounting. It says: this mount is managed by some userspace entity
(autofs) and copying it to the new namespace or to some other part of
the tree makes no sense since a new instance of the userspace entity
responsible for managing those mounts will need to be started in the
new namespace as well. I can't think of any other sane solution to
this issue.
Thanks,
Miklos
