[PATCH 1/4] exportfs: add flag to indicate local file handles

From: Christian Brauner
Date: Sun Dec 01 2024 - 08:13:07 EST


Some filesystems like kernfs and pidfs support file handles as a
convenience to use name_to_handle_at(2) and open_by_handle_at(2) but
don't want to and cannot be reliably exported. Add a flag that allows
them to mark their export operations accordingly.

Fixes: aa8188253474 ("kernfs: add exportfs operations")
