Subject: [PATCH 4/6 v1 resend] statfs: add ST_SHARED
Date:   Fri, 25 May 2018 14:48:23 +0200

Currently userspace can only determine whether a mountpoint is shared
by parsing /proc/<pid>/mountinfo. It would be convenient to simply retrieve
this property with a statvfs() call.
This let's userspace avoid costly parsing, supports cases where /proc is
not mounted, and supports usecases where file descriptors to mountpoints
are passed between processes that are inspected via fstatvfs().
This is especially helpful in all cases where userspace is not interested
in specific propagation properties but rather just wants to either turn on
or turn off propagation for specific mountpoints.
