Pull vfs mount query updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains work to extend the abilities of listmount() and statmount() and various fixes and cleanups. Features: - Allow iterating through mounts via listmount() from newest to oldest. This makes it possible for mount(8) to keep iterating the mount table in reverse order so it gets newest mounts first. - Relax permissions on listmount() and statmount(). It's not necessary to have capabilities in the initial namespace: it is sufficient to have capabilities in the owning namespace of the mount namespace we're located in to list unreachable mounts in that namespace. - Extend both listmount() and statmount() to list and stat mounts in foreign mount namespaces. Currently the only way to iterate over mount entries in mount namespaces that aren't in the caller's mount namespace is by crawling through /proc in order to find /proc/<pid>/mountinfo for the relevant mount namespace. This is both very clumsy and hugely inefficient. So extend struct mnt_id_req with a new member that allows to specify the mount namespace id of the mount namespace we want to look at. Luckily internally we already have most of the infrastructure for this so we just need to expose it to userspace. Give userspace a way to retrieve the id of a mount namespace via statmount() and through a new nsfs ioctl() on mount namespace file descriptor. This comes with appropriate selftests. - Expose mount options through statmount(). Currently if userspace wants to get mount options for a mount and with statmount(), they still have to open /proc/<pid>/mountinfo to parse mount options. Simply the information through statmount() directly. Afterwards it's possible to only rely on statmount() and listmount() to retrieve all and more information than /proc/<pid>/mountinfo provides. This comes with appropriate selftests. Fixes: - Avoid copying to userspace under the namespace semaphore in listmount. Cleanups: - Simplify the error handling in listmount by relying on our newly added cleanup infrastructure. - Refuse invalid mount ids early for both listmount and statmount" * tag 'vfs-6.11.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: fs: reject invalid last mount id early fs: refuse mnt id requests with invalid ids early fs: find rootfs mount of the mount namespace fs: only copy to userspace on success in listmount() sefltests: extend the statmount test for mount options fs: use guard for namespace_sem in statmount() fs: export mount options via statmount() fs: rename show_mnt_opts -> show_vfsmnt_opts selftests: add a test for the foreign mnt ns extensions fs: add an ioctl to get the mnt ns id from nsfs fs: Allow statmount() in foreign mount namespace fs: Allow listmount() in foreign mount namespace fs: export the mount ns id via statmount fs: keep an index of current mount namespaces fs: relax permissions for statmount() listmount: allow listing in reverse order fs: relax permissions for listmount() fs: simplify error handling fs: don't copy to userspace under namespace semaphore path: add cleanup helper
