[PATCH 1/6] proc: implement support for automounts in task directories

From: Eric W . Biederman
Date: Tue Nov 18 2008 - 19:57:02 EST


This is a general mechanism that is capable of removing any unused mounts on
/proc in any directory. As we flush the mounts when a processes dies this
mechanism is tailored for flushing mounts in the per task and per task group
directories.
