Merge tag 'vfs-6.15-rc1.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:

 - Mount notifications

   The day has come where we finally provide a new api to listen for
   mount topology changes outside of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo. A mount
   namespace file descriptor can be supplied and registered with
   fanotify to listen for mount topology changes.

   Currently notifications for mount, umount and moving mounts are
   generated. The generated notification record contains the unique
   mount id of the mount.

   The listmount() and statmount() api can be used to query detailed
   information about the mount using the received unique mount id.

   This allows userspace to figure out exactly how the mount topology
   changed without having to generating diffs of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo
   in userspace.

 - Support O_PATH file descriptors with FSCONFIG_SET_FD in the new mount
   api

 - Support detached mounts in overlayfs

   Since last cycle we support specifying overlayfs layers via file
   descriptors. However, we don't allow detached mounts which means
   userspace cannot user file descriptors received via
   open_tree(OPEN_TREE_CLONE) and fsmount() directly. They have to
   attach them to a mount namespace via move_mount() first.

   This is cumbersome and means they have to undo mounts via umount().
   Allow them to directly use detached mounts.

 - Allow to retrieve idmappings with statmount

   Currently it isn't possible to figure out what idmapping has been
   attached to an idmapped mount. Add an extension to statmount() which
   allows to read the idmapping from the mount.

 - Allow creating idmapped mounts from mounts that are already idmapped

   So far it isn't possible to allow the creation of idmapped mounts
   from already idmapped mounts as this has significant lifetime
   implications. Make the creation of idmapped mounts atomic by allow to
   pass struct mount_attr together with the open_tree_attr() system call
   allowing to solve these issues without complicating VFS lookup in any
   way.

   The system call has in general the benefit that creating a detached
   mount and applying mount attributes to it becomes an atomic operation
   for userspace.

 - Add a way to query statmount() for supported options

   Allow userspace to query which mount information can be retrieved
   through statmount().

 - Allow superblock owners to force unmount
