[patch 6/7] vfs: mountinfo: add /proc/<pid>/mountinfo
[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.
