From 8f2918898eb5fe25845dde7f4a77bda0e2966e05 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Sun, 4 Nov 2018 06:48:34 -0500 Subject: new helpers: vfs_create_mount(), fc_mount() Create a new helper, vfs_create_mount(), that creates a detached vfsmount object from an fs_context that has a superblock attached to it. Almost all uses will be paired with immediately preceding vfs_get_tree(); add a helper for such combination. Switch vfs_kern_mount() to use this. NOTE: mild behaviour change; passing NULL as 'device name' to something like procfs will change /proc/*/mountstats - "device none" instead on "no device". That is consistent with /proc/mounts et.al.
