Merge tag 'vfs-7.0-rc1.namespace' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner: - statmount: accept fd as a parameter Extend struct mnt_id_req with a file descriptor field and a new STATMOUNT_BY_FD flag. When set, statmount() returns mount information for the mount the fd resides on — including detached mounts (unmounted via umount2(MNT_DETACH)). For detached mounts the STATMOUNT_MNT_POINT and STATMOUNT_MNT_NS_ID mask bits are cleared since neither is meaningful. The capability check is skipped for STATMOUNT_BY_FD since holding an fd already implies prior access to the mount and equivalent information is available through fstatfs() and /proc/pid/mountinfo without privilege. Includes comprehensive selftests covering both attached and detached mount cases. - fs: Remove internal old mount API code (1 patch) Now that every in-tree filesystem has been converted to the new mount API, remove all the legacy shim code in fs_context.c that handled unconverted filesystems. This deletes ~280 lines including legacy_init_fs_context(), the legacy_fs_context struct, and associated wrappers. The mount(2) syscall path for userspace remains untouched. Documentation references to the legacy callbacks are cleaned up. - mount: add OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE to open_tree() Container runtimes currently use CLONE_NEWNS to copy the caller's entire mount namespace — only to then pivot_root() and recursively unmount everything they just copied. With large mount tables and thousands of parallel container launches this creates significant contention on the namespace semaphore. OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE copies only the specified mount tree (like OPEN_TREE_CLONE) but returns a mount namespace fd instead of a detached mount fd. The new namespace contains the copied tree mounted on top of a clone of the real rootfs. This functions as a combined unshare(CLONE_NEWNS) + pivot_root() in a single syscall. Works with user namespaces: an unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) followed by OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE creates a mount namespace owned by the new user namespace. Mount namespace file mounts are excluded from the copy to prevent cycles.
