commit 29be9100aca2915fab54b5693309bc42956542e5 upstream. Don't cross a mountpoint that explicitly specifies a backup volume (target is <vol>.backup) when starting from a backup volume. It it not uncommon to mount a volume's backup directly in the volume itself. This can cause tools that are not paying attention to get into a loop mounting the volume onto itself as they attempt to traverse the tree, leading to a variety of problems. This doesn't prevent the general case of loops in a sequence of mountpoints, but addresses a common special case in the same way as other afs clients.

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 Restructured Text 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.
