That makes no sense at all. pipe_mnt is not created by userland mount; it's created by init_pipe_fs() and we'd bloody better have it done before any applications get a chance to run.
Please, explain how the hell did you manage to get a perverted config where that is not true. In the meanwhile the patch is NAKed. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
