- *     Mount or remount the initial kernel mount of devpts. This type of
- *     mount maintains the legacy, single-instance semantics, while the
- *     kernel still allows multiple-instances.
+ *     If the '-o newinstance' mount option was specified, mount a new
+ *     (private) instance of devpts.  PTYs created in this instance are
+ *     independent of the PTYs in other devpts instances.
  *
- *     This interface is needed to support multiple namespace semantics in
- *     devpts while preserving backward compatibility of the current 'single-
- *     namespace' semantics. i.e all mounts of devpts without the 'newinstance'
- *     mount option should bind to the initial kernel mount, like
- *     get_sb_single().
+ *     If the '-o newinstance' option was not specified, mount/remount the
+ *     initial kernel mount of devpts.  This type of mount gives the
+ *     legacy, single-instance semantics.
  *
- *     Mounts with 'newinstance' option create a new private namespace.
+ *     The 'newinstance' option is needed to support multiple namespace
+ *     semantics in devpts while preserving backward compatibility of the
+ *     current 'single-namespace' semantics. i.e all mounts of devpts
+ *     without the 'newinstance' mount option should bind to the initial
+ *     kernel mount, like get_sb_single().
  *
- *     But for single-mount semantics, devpts cannot use get_sb_single(),
+ *     Mounts with 'newinstance' option create a new, private namespace.
+ *
+ *     NOTE:
+ *
+ *     For single-mount semantics, devpts cannot use get_sb_single(),
  *     because get_sb_single()/sget() find and use the super-block from
  *     the most recent mount of devpts. But that recent mount may be a
  *     'newinstance' mount and get_sb_single() would pick the newinstance
  *     super-block instead of the initial super-block.
- *
- *     This interface is identical to get_sb_single() except that it
- *     consistently selects the 'single-namespace' superblock even in the
- *     presence of the private namespace (i.e 'newinstance') super-blocks.
