util-linux is about to implement listmount() and statmount() support.
Karel requested the ability to scan the mount table in backwards order
because that's what libmount currently does in order to get the latest
mount first. We currently don't support this in listmount(). Add a new
LISTMOUNT_REVERSE flag to allow listing mounts in reverse order. For
example, listing all child mounts of /sys without LISTMOUNT_REVERSE
gives:
/sys/kernel/security @ mnt_id: 4294968369
/sys/fs/cgroup @ mnt_id: 4294968370
/sys/firmware/efi/efivars @ mnt_id: 4294968371
/sys/fs/bpf @ mnt_id: 4294968372
/sys/kernel/tracing @ mnt_id: 4294968373
/sys/kernel/debug @ mnt_id: 4294968374
/sys/fs/fuse/connections @ mnt_id: 4294968375
/sys/kernel/config @ mnt_id: 4294968376
whereas with LISTMOUNT_REVERSE it gives:
/sys/kernel/config @ mnt_id: 4294968376
/sys/fs/fuse/connections @ mnt_id: 4294968375
/sys/kernel/debug @ mnt_id: 4294968374
/sys/kernel/tracing @ mnt_id: 4294968373
/sys/fs/bpf @ mnt_id: 4294968372
/sys/firmware/efi/efivars @ mnt_id: 4294968371
/sys/fs/cgroup @ mnt_id: 4294968370
/sys/kernel/security @ mnt_id: 4294968369

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
