+Each sysfs superblock's kernfs_super_info contains an array
+``void *ns[KOBJ_NS_TYPES]``. When a task in a tagging namespace
kobj_nstype first mounts sysfs, a new superblock is created. It
will be differentiated from other sysfs mounts by having its
-s_fs_info->ns[kobj_nstype] set to the new namespace. Note that

through bind mounting and mounts propagation, a task can easily view
the contents of other namespaces' sysfs mounts. Therefore, when a
namespace exits, it will call kobj_ns_exit() to invalidate any
kernfs_node->ns pointers pointing to it.
