Merge tag 'vfs-6.12.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:
"Recently, we added the ability to list mounts in other mount
namespaces and the ability to retrieve namespace file descriptors
without having to go through procfs by deriving them from pidfds.
This extends nsfs in two ways:
(1) Add the ability to retrieve information about a mount namespace
via NS_MNT_GET_INFO.
This will return the mount namespace id and the number of mounts
currently in the mount namespace. The number of mounts can be
used to size the buffer that needs to be used for listmount() and
is in general useful without having to actually iterate through
all the mounts.
The structure is extensible.
(2) Add the ability to iterate through all mount namespaces over
which the caller holds privilege returning the file descriptor
for the next or previous mount namespace.
To retrieve a mount namespace the caller must be privileged wrt
to it's owning user namespace. This means that PID 1 on the host
can list all mounts in all mount namespaces or that a container
can list all mounts of its nested containers.
Optionally pass a structure for NS_MNT_GET_INFO with
NS_MNT_GET_{PREV,NEXT} to retrieve information about the mount
namespace in one go.
(1) and (2) can be implemented for other namespace types easily.
Together with recent api additions this means one can iterate through
all mounts in all mount namespaces without ever touching procfs.

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.
