[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.
