Subject[PATCH 09/34] union-mount: Add two superblock fields for union mounts
Date
Add two fields to struct super_block to support union mounts.
s_union_lower_mnts is a pointer to a cloned vfsmount tree of all the
lower (read-only) mounts unioned with the topmost (read-write)
vfsmount. These mounts may have submounts which will also be unioned;
hence we copy the entire vfsmount tree, not just the root vfsmounts.
s_union_count is the number of lower mounts unioned at the root of the
file system. This count is the maximum number of directories that
will ever be unioned with a single directory. We use it to allocate a
union stack of the correct size for each directory.
