    vfs: start hiding vfsmount guts series · 7d6fec45
    Al Viro authored
    Almost all fields of struct vfsmount are used only by core VFS (and
    a fairly small part of it, at that).  The plan: embed struct vfsmount
    into struct mount, making the latter visible only to core parts of VFS.
    Then move fields from vfsmount to mount, eventually leaving only
    mnt_root/mnt_sb/mnt_flags in struct vfsmount.  Filesystem code still
    gets pointers to struct vfsmount and remains unchanged; all such
    pointers go to struct vfsmount embedded into the instances of struct
    mount allocated by fs/namespace.c.  When fs/namespace.c et.al. get
    a pointer to vfsmount, they turn it into pointer to mount (using
    container_of) and work with that.
    
    This is the first part of series; struct mount is introduced,
    allocation switched to using it.
