H A Dnamespace.c0bb6fcc1 Tue Sep 06 17:19:36 CDT 2005 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> [PATCH] pivot_root() circular reference fix

Fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4857

When pivot_root is called from an init script in an initramfs environment,
it causes a circular reference in the mount tree.

The cause of this is that pivot_root() is not prepared to handle pivoting
an unattached mount. In an initramfs environment, rootfs is the root of
the namespace, and so it is not attached.

This patch fixes this and related problems, by returning -EINVAL if either
the current root or the new root is detached.
