From 80340fe3605c0e78cfe496c3b3878be828cfdbfe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Thu, 14 May 2020 16:44:24 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] statx: add mount_root Determining whether a path or file descriptor refers to a mountpoint (or more precisely a mount root) is not trivial using current tools. Add a flag to statx that indicates whether the path or fd refers to the root of a mount or not.
