** Description changed:

+ == SRU Justification ==
+ 
+ Impact: linux-lts-utopic 3.16.0-46.62 contains a regression which
+ prevents unprivileged containers from starting due to a failure mounting
+ sysfs.
+ 
+ Fix: Backport of upstream commit
+ 7236c85e1be51a9e25ba0f6e087a66ca89605a49, which is marked for stable but
+ is missing from 3.16 stable. Another stable commit that did get into
+ 3.16 requires this patch.
+ 
+ Regression potential: This patch is specifically targeted at
+ unprivileged mounts of virtual filesystems in containers and fixes a
+ regression there. It should have no impact on mounts in the host.

  linux-lts-utopic 3.16.0-46.62 contains a regression mounting
  unprivileged containers. The log shows a failure mounting sysfs:
  
-       lxc-start 20150427012246.807 ERROR    lxc_conf -
+       lxc-start 20150427012246.807 ERROR    lxc_conf -
  conf.c:lxc_mount_auto_mounts:819 - Operation not permitted - error
  mounting sysfs on /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lxc/sys flags 14
  
  This is due to missing upstream commit
  7236c85e1be51a9e25ba0f6e087a66ca89605a49.
