Re: [RFC] Add option to mount only a pids subset

I can't really review this... but in any case I think you should split
this patch to separate the vfs and proc changes.

This duplicates the error handling, we do the same if mount_fs() fails.
Perhaps you should move these 2 lines into cleanup block and add goto's.

Hmm. I don't quite understand why do we need this, and how this should work.

Yes, "/bin/ls /pidonly-proc/sys" or opendir(/pidonly-proc/sys) should fail,
but only because they both do stat() ?

Afaics you still can do open("/pidonly-proc/sys") + getdents() and this should
work ?

I still think proc_dir_operations.open() makes more sense. Yes, as you pointed
out we also need to update proc_sys_dir_file_operations too and may be something
else...

Oh, it would be nice to not duplicate the code from the caller, imo.
