I'm not sure we need the flags, but I do want to allow for binary data in an option. So perhaps something like: int fsconfig(int fd, unsigned int type, const char *key, const void *val, size_t val_len); for example: fd = fsopen("ext4", FSOPEN_CLOEXEC); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_blockdev, "dev.data", "/dev/sda1", ...); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_blockdev, "dev.journal", "/dev/sda2", ...); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_option, "user_xattr", NULL, ...); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_option, "errors", "continue", ...); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_option, "data", "journal", ...); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_security, "selinux.context", "unconfined_u:..."); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_create, NULL, NULL, 0); mfd = fsmount(fd, FSMOUNT_CLOEXEC, MS_NOEXEC); or: fd = fsopen("nfs", FSOPEN_CLOEXEC); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_namespace, "user", "<usernsfd>", ...); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_namespace, "net", "<netnsfd>", ...); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_option, "server", "foo.com", ...); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_option, "root", "/bar", ...); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_option, "soft", NULL, ...); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_option, "retry", "3", ...); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_option, "wsize", "4096", ...); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_uidmap, "dhowells", "1234", ...); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_security, "selinux.context", "unconfined_u:..."); fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_create, NULL, NULL, 0); mfd = fsmount(fd, FSMOUNT_CLOEXEC, MS_NOEXEC); This does mean that userspace has to work harder, though, but it would simplify the LSM interface internally.
