[PATCH v2 15/28] fs: add is_userns_visible() helper

From: Christian Brauner
Date: Fri Feb 14 2020 - 13:38:38 EST


Introduce a helper which makes it possible to detect fileystems whose
superblock is visible in multiple user namespace. This currently only
means proc and sys. Such filesystems usually have special semantics so their
behavior will not be changed with the introduction of fsid mappings.
