Each sysfs directory entry may be tagged with a namespace via the
|
||||
void *ns member of its kernfs_node. If a directory entry is tagged,
|
||||
then kernfs_node->flags will have a flag between KOBJ_NS_TYPE_NONE
|
||||
``void *ns member`` of its ``kernfs_node``. If a directory entry is tagged,
|
||||
then ``kernfs_node->flags`` will have a flag between KOBJ_NS_TYPE_NONE
|
||||
and KOBJ_NS_TYPES, and ns will point to the namespace to which it
|

belongs.

Each sysfs superblock's kernfs_super_info contains an array
|
||||
``void *ns[KOBJ_NS_TYPES]``. When a task in a tagging namespace
|
||||
kobj_nstype first mounts sysfs, a new superblock is created. It
|
||||
will be differentiated from other sysfs mounts by having its
|
||||
s_fs_info->ns[kobj_nstype] set to the new namespace. Note that
|
||||
``s_fs_info->ns[kobj_nstype]`` set to the new namespace. Note that
|
||||
through bind mounting and mounts propagation, a task can easily view
|
||||
the contents of other namespaces' sysfs mounts. Therefore, when a
|
||||
namespace exits, it will call kobj_ns_exit() to invalidate any
|
||||
kernfs_node->ns pointers pointing to it.
