From 29fdc88d6ed14dc393650ef12ffd93b1d1d44ed7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Kerrisk Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2021 09:13:56 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mount_setattr.2: Reword the description of the 'propagation field' Point out that this field can have the value zero, meaning no change. And avoid discussions of 'enum', and simply say that otherwise the field has one of the MS_* values.
