Some time ago ( http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/19/128 )
I wrote about MNT_UNBINDABLE that it felt like a bug
that it is not reset by "mount --make-private".
Today I happened to see mount(8) and Documentation/sharedsubtree.txt
and both document the version obtained by applying the little
patch given in the above (and again below).
So, the present kernel code is not according to specs and must be
regarded as buggy. The patch below, or something similar,
should be applied.

Specification in Documentation/sharedsubtree.txt:
See state diagram: unbindable should become private upon make-private.
Specification in mount(8):
... It's
also possible to set up uni-directional propagation (with --make-
slave), to make a mount point unavailable for --bind/--rbind (with
--make-unbindable), and to undo any of these (with --make-private).
Repeat of old fix-shared-subtrees-make-private.patch
(due to Dirk Gerrits, René Gabriëls, Peter Kooijmans):
