Subject: bug#21372: [PATCH v4] df: fix prioritize real mounts over bind mounts
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2015 15:04:11 -0500

Fixes an issue where bind mounts with shorter mount directories than the
original mount are prioritized when running df.  The root cause of this
is that /proc/self/mountinfo now lists the filesystem device with bind
mounts rather than the source directory. With /etc/mtab the source
device was listed as the originating directory so this was not an issue.
