Al Viro 2711524e3c move_mount(2): take sanity checks in 'beneath' case into do_lock_mount() 
[ Upstream commit d29da1a8f1 ]

We want to mount beneath the given location.  For that operation to
make sense, location must be the root of some mount that has something
under it.  Currently we let it proceed if those requirements are not met,
with rather meaningless results, and have that bogosity caught further
down the road; let's fail early instead - do_lock_mount() doesn't make
sense unless those conditions hold, and checking them there makes
things simpler.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
