Subject[PATCH 22/73] union-mount: Add two superblock fields for union mounts [ver #2]
Date
From: Valerie Aurora <vaurora@redhat.com>

Add two fields to struct super_block to support union mounts:

(*) s_union_lower_mnts

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

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.
