Why does user space actually still have to deal with setting the mount
point private? Isn't this handled by the kernel?

+       if (mount("bpf", target, "bpf", 0, NULL)) {

+               return -1;

Shouldn't this be just enough?

Note that the patch just moves the function around, but to get to your
question, that would just make it shared by default, not private.

Thanks,
