......@@ -1526,6 +1526,10 @@ static void chroot_fs_refs(struct nameidata *old_nd, struct nameidata *new_nd)
* pointed to by put_old must yield the same directory as new_root. No other
* file system may be mounted on put_old. After all, new_root is a mountpoint.
*
* Also, the current root cannot be on the 'rootfs' (initial ramfs) filesystem.
* See Documentation/filesystems/ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt for alternatives
* in this situation.

* Notes:
* - we don't move root/cwd if they are not at the root (reason: if something
* cared enough to change them, it's probably wrong to force them elsewhere)
