[patch] vfs: create /proc/<pid>/mountinfo

[Miklos Szeredi]

From: Ram Pai <linuxram@xxxxxxxxxx>

/proc/mounts in its current state fails to disambiguate bind mounts,
especially when the bind mount is subrooted.  Also it does not capture
propagation state of the mounts(shared-subtree).  The following patch
addresses the problem.

The patch adds '/proc/<pid>/mountinfo' which contains a superset of
information in '/proc/<pid>/mounts'. The following fields are added:

mntid -- is a unique identifier of the mount
parent -- the id of the parent mount
major:minor -- value of st_dev for files on that filesystem
dir -- the subdir in the filesystem which forms the root of this mount
propagation-type in the form of <propagation_flag>[:<mntid>][,...]
	note: 'shared' flag is followed by the mntid of its peer mount
	      'slave' flag is followed by the mntid of its master mount
	      'private' flag stands by itself
	      'unbindable' flag stands by itself

Also mount options are split into two fileds, the first containing the
per mount flags, the second the per super block options.

Here is a sample cat /proc/mounts after execution the following commands:

mount --bind /mnt /mnt
mount --make-shared /mnt
mount --bind /mnt/1 /var
mount --make-slave /var
mount --make-shared /var
mount --bind /var/abc /tmp
mount --make-unbindable /proc

2 2 0:1 rootfs rootfs / / rw rw private
16 2 98:0 ext2 /dev/root / / rw rw private
17 16 0:3 proc /proc / /proc rw rw unbindable
18 16 0:10 devpts devpts /dev/pts / rw rw private
19 16 98:0 ext2 /dev/root /mnt /mnt rw rw shared:19
20 16 98:0 ext2 /dev/root /mnt/1 /var rw rw shared:21,slave:19
21 16 98:0 ext2 /dev/root /mnt/1/abc /tmp rw rw shared:20,slave:19

For example, the last line indicates that :

1) The mount is a shared mount.
2) Its peer mount of mount with id 20
3) It is also a slave mount of the master-mount with the id  19
4) The filesystem on device with major/minor number 98:0 and subdirectory
	mnt/1/abc makes the root directory of this mount.
5) And finally the mount with id 16 is its parent.


[mszeredi@xxxxxxx]

- new file, rearrange fields
- for mount ID's use IDA (from the IDR library) instead of a 32bit
  counter, which could overflow
- print canonical ID's (smallest one within the peer group) for peers
  and master, this is more useful, than a random ID within the same namespace
- fix a couple of small bugs
- remove inlines
- style fixes

+--------------------------------------------------------

+This file contains lines of the form:
+
+MNTID PARENT MAJOR:MINOR TYPE SOURCE ROOT MOUNTPOINT MNTOPTS SBOPTS PROPAGATION
+
+MNTID: unique identifier of the mount (may be reused after umount)
+PARENT: ID of parent (or of self for the top of the mount tree)
+MAJOR:MINOR: value of st_dev for files on filesystem
+TYPE: filesystem type
+SOURCE: source of mount (name of the device for block filesystems)
+ROOT: root of the mount within the filesystem
+MOUNTPOINT: mount point
+MNTOPTS: per mount options
+SBOPTS: per super block options
+PROPAGATION: propagation type
+
+propagation type: <propagation_flag>[:<mntid>][,...]
+	note: 'shared' flag is followed by the mntid of its peer mount
+	      'slave' flag is followed by the mntid of its master mount
+	      'private' flag stands by itself
+	      'unbindable' flag stands by itself
+
+The 'mntid' used in the propagation type is a canonical ID of the peer
+group (currently the smallest ID within the group is used for this
+purpose, but this should not be relied on).  Since mounts can be added
+or removed from the peer group, this ID only guaranteed to stay the
+same on a static propagation tree.
