[PATCH RFC 26/41] xenfs: use fc_init_pseudo()

From: Christian Brauner

Date: Tue Nov 10 2026 - 04:52:31 EST


Initialize xenfs as a pseudo filesystem. This raises SB_I_PSEUDO and
also SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV. xenfs never holds executables or
device nodes.

SB_I_NOEXEC also refuses PROT_EXEC mappings. xenfs maps the xenstore
page and guest memory through privcmd, both data.
