    [patch 6/7] vfs: mountinfo: add /proc/<pid>/mountinfo · 2d4d4864
    Ram Pai 提交于
    [mszeredi@suse.cz] rewrite and split big patch into managable chunks
    
    /proc/mounts in its current form lacks important information:
    
     - propagation state
     - root of mount for bind mounts
     - the st_dev value used within the filesystem
     - identifier for each mount and it's parent
    
    It also suffers from the following problems:
    
     - not easily extendable
     - ambiguity of mountpoints within a chrooted environment
     - doesn't distinguish between filesystem dependent and independent options
     - doesn't distinguish between per mount and per super block options
    
    This patch introduces /proc/<pid>/mountinfo which attempts to address
    all these deficiencies.
    
    Code shared between /proc/<pid>/mounts and /proc/<pid>/mountinfo is
    extracted into separate functions.
    
    Thanks to Al Viro for the help in getting the design right.
