![]() Provide an fsopen() system call that starts the process of preparing to create a superblock that will then be mountable, using an fd as a context handle. fsopen() is given the name of the filesystem that will be used: int mfd = fsopen(const char *fsname, unsigned int flags); where flags can be 0 or FSOPEN_CLOEXEC. For example: sfd = fsopen("ext4", FSOPEN_CLOEXEC); fsconfig(sfd, FSCONFIG_SET_PATH, "source", "/dev/sda1", AT_FDCWD); fsconfig(sfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG, "noatime", NULL, 0); fsconfig(sfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG, "acl", NULL, 0); fsconfig(sfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG, "user_xattr", NULL, 0); fsconfig(sfd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "sb", "1", 0); fsconfig(sfd, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE, NULL, NULL, 0); fsinfo(sfd, NULL, ...); // query new superblock attributes mfd = fsmount(sfd, FSMOUNT_CLOEXEC, MS_RELATIME); move_mount(mfd, "", sfd, AT_FDCWD, "/mnt", MOVE_MOUNT_F_EMPTY_PATH); sfd = fsopen("afs", -1); fsconfig(fd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "source", "#grand.central.org:root.cell", 0); fsconfig(fd, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE, NULL, NULL, 0); mfd = fsmount(sfd, 0, MS_NODEV); move_mount(mfd, "", sfd, AT_FDCWD, "/mnt", MOVE_MOUNT_F_EMPTY_PATH); If an error is reported at any step, an error message may be available to be read() back (ENODATA will be reported if there isn't an error available) in the form: "e <subsys>:<problem>" "e SELinux:Mount on mountpoint not permitted" Once fsmount() has been called, further fsconfig() calls will incur EBUSY, even if the fsmount() fails. read() is still possible to retrieve error information. The fsopen() syscall creates a mount context and hangs it of the fd that it returns. Netlink is not used because it is optional and would make the core VFS dependent on the networking layer and also potentially add network namespace issues. Note that, for the moment, the caller must have SYS_CAP_ADMIN to use fsopen().

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
