Merge tag 'vfs-6.11.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs mount query updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains work to extend the abilities of listmount() and
statmount() and various fixes and cleanups.
Features:
- Allow iterating through mounts via listmount() from newest to
oldest. This makes it possible for mount(8) to keep iterating the
mount table in reverse order so it gets newest mounts first.
- Relax permissions on listmount() and statmount().
It's not necessary to have capabilities in the initial namespace:
it is sufficient to have capabilities in the owning namespace of
the mount namespace we're located in to list unreachable mounts in
that namespace.
- Extend both listmount() and statmount() to list and stat mounts in
foreign mount namespaces.
Currently the only way to iterate over mount entries in mount
namespaces that aren't in the caller's mount namespace is by
crawling through /proc in order to find /proc/<pid>/mountinfo for
the relevant mount namespace.
This is both very clumsy and hugely inefficient. So extend struct
mnt_id_req with a new member that allows to specify the mount
namespace id of the mount namespace we want to look at.
Luckily internally we already have most of the infrastructure for
this so we just need to expose it to userspace. Give userspace a
way to retrieve the id of a mount namespace via statmount() and
through a new nsfs ioctl() on mount namespace file descriptor.
This comes with appropriate selftests.
- Expose mount options through statmount().
Currently if userspace wants to get mount options for a mount and
with statmount(), they still have to open /proc/<pid>/mountinfo to
parse mount options. Simply the information through statmount()
directly.
Afterwards it's possible to only rely on statmount() and
listmount() to retrieve all and more information than
/proc/<pid>/mountinfo provides.
This comes with appropriate selftests.
Fixes:
- Avoid copying to userspace under the namespace semaphore in
listmount.
Cleanups:
- Simplify the error handling in listmount by relying on our newly
added cleanup infrastructure.
- Refuse invalid mount ids early for both listmount and statmount"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
