From 98d2b43081972abeb5bb5a087bc3e3197531c46e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Wed, 25 Oct 2023 16:01:59 +0200 Subject: add unique mount ID If a mount is released then its mnt_id can immediately be reused. This is bad news for user interfaces that want to uniquely identify a mount. Implementing a unique mount ID is trivial (use a 64bit counter). Unfortunately userspace assumes 32bit size and would overflow after the counter reaches 2^32. Introduce a new 64bit ID alongside the old one. Initialize the counter to 2^32, this guarantees that the old and new IDs are never mixed up.
