[PATCH 6.19 564/844] fs: ensure that internal tmpfs mount gets mount id zero
From: Sasha Levin
Date: Sat Feb 28 2026 - 14:28:02 EST
From: Christian Brauner <brauner@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit a2062463e894039a6fdc2334b96afd91d44b64a8 ]
and the rootfs get mount id one as it always has. Before we actually
mount the rootfs we create an internal tmpfs mount which has mount id
zero but is never exposed anywhere. Continue that "tradition".
