New "mountinfo" Program Set To Be Bundled With Linux 6.14


The VFS mount pull request was sent out today in advance of the Linux 6.14 merge window opening

The intent with mountinfo is on being a simple user-space program to demonstrate how to make use of the Linux kernel's statmount() and listmount() interfaces. So the mountinfo tool itself isn't particularly useful for end-users but nice for developers wanting a working example for making use of the statmount/listmount kernel capabilities. See the VFS mount pull request on these changes for Linux 6.14, assuming Linus Torvalds finds no critiques with any of the code.
