+# IMPORTANT: For /proc/ to be remounted in pid namespace within an unprivileged user namespace, there needs to
+# be at least 1 unmasked procfs mount in ANY directory. Otherwise, if /proc/ is masked (e.g. /proc/scsi is
+# over-mounted with tmpfs), then mounting a new /proc/ will fail.
+#
+# Thus, to guarantee PrivatePIDs=yes tests for unprivileged users pass, we mount a new procfs on a temporary
+# directory with no masking. This will guarantee an unprivileged user can mount a new /proc/ successfully.
