It prevents mounting sysfs and procfs if they are not already mounted
somewhere else in the current mount namespace and fully visible.  So if
a container is set up with limited access (or no access) to one of
these filesystem types, nothing inside that container is allowed to
change that.

Did you rely on that being allowed?  Or are you mounting in some other
way that you think is wrongly being disallowed?

No, it claims to make the test slightly stricter.
