Not sure what you mean. I think it shows precisely the information
Karel asked for.

The mountinfo format is extensible (see
Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt) so for example adding the change
counters would be simple.

fsinfo(2) will never be substantially cheaper than reading and parsing
/mnt/MNT_ID/info. In fact reading a large part of the mount table
using fsinfo(2) will be substantially slower than parsing
/proc/self/mountinfo (this doesn't actually do the parsing but that
would add a very small amount of overhead):

root@kvm:~# ./test-fsinfo-perf /tmp/a 30000
--- make mounts ---
--- test fsinfo by path ---
sum(mnt_id) = 960000
--- test fsinfo by mnt_id ---
sum(mnt_id) = 960000
--- test /proc/fdinfo ---
sum(mnt_id) = 960000
--- test mountfs ---
sum(mnt_id) = 960000
--- test mountinfo ---
sum(mnt_id) = 960000
For 30000 mounts, f= 154963us f2= 148337us p= 1803699us p2=
257019us; m= 53996us; p=11.6*f p=12.2*f2 p=7.0*p2 p=33.4*m
--- umount ---

Yes, that's 33 times faster!

Thanks,
Miklos
