[PATCH 1/2] fs: Extend mount_ns with support for a fast namespace to vfsmount function

From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Fri Mar 23 2018 - 17:42:44 EST



If this function is present use it to lookup up the vfsmount except
when performaning internal kernel mounts. When performing internal
kernel mounts don't look through the list of superblocks just create a
new one.

After a quick survey it appears all callers of mount_ns are candidates
for this optimization. So extending the generic helper appears
like the right thing.

The motivation for this change is that this optimization was performed
recently on mqueuefs and a permission check was dropped and
sb->s_user_ns was set incorrectly.

To enable fixing mqueuefs this logic was extracted from mqueuefs and
added to mount_ns which gets the permission check correct and set
sb->s_user_ns properly.
