Hello, I want to check /proc/mounts from kernel, for I want to forbid mounting on a directory which itself or its subdirectories are already mounted. For example, if /var/log is mounted, don't allow mounting on /var or /var/log . To do this I want to get dentries and vfsmounts listed in /proc/mounts, but I don't know how to get them. Using seq_operations mounts_op in fs/namespace.c may be an answer, but I think I needn't to call d_path() in show_vfsmnt() for my purpose. I'm planning to perform this checking at http://lxr.linux.no/source/fs/namespace.c?v=2.4.26#L734 . Best Regards. -- Tetsuo Handa -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
