[PATCH 25/76] union-mount: Add two superblock fields for union mounts

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Valerie Aurora <vaurora@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add two fields to struct super_block to support union mounts.
s_union_lower_mnts is a pointer to a cloned vfsmount tree of all the
lower (read-only) mounts unioned with the topmost (read-write)
vfsmount.  These mounts may have submounts which will also be unioned;
hence we copy the entire vfsmount tree, not just the root vfsmounts.
s_union_count is the number of lower mounts unioned at the root of the
file system.  This count is the maximum number of directories that
will ever be unioned with a single directory.  We use it to allocate a
union stack of the correct size for each directory.
