Why use struct __mount_arg (or struct mnt_id_req :) here rather than just passing in the mount ID directly? You don't use the request_maskPlease see Arnd's detailed summary here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/44631c05-6b8a-42dc-b37e-df6776baa5d4@app.fastmail.com (local)
Ah, makes sense, I'd missed that. Given this, though, it seems like maybe sys_listmount() should enforce that req->request_mask==0 ? Thanks, jon
