Since you mentioned notifications, I will add that the plan discussed
in LFSMM was, once we have an API to query mount stats and children,
implement fanotify events for:
mount [mntuid] was un/mounted at [parent mntuid],[dirfid+name]

As with other fanotify events, the self mntuid and dirfid+name
information can be omitted and without it, multiple un/mount events
from the same parent mntuid will be merged, allowing userspace
to listmnt() periodically only mntuid whose child mounts have changed,
with little risk of event queue overflow.

The possible monitoring scopes would be the entire mount namespace
of the monitoring program or watching a single mount for change in
its children mounts. The latter is similar to inotify directory children watch,
where the watches needs to be set recursively, with all the weight on
userspace to avoid races.

That still leaves the problem of monitoring the creation of new mount
namespaces, but that is out of scope for this discussion, which is
about a replacement for /proc/self/mountinfo monitoring.

Thanks,
Amir.
