Introduce new filesystem inside VE [message #14352]

Hi all,

I hope that you can help me. I modified the spufs sources so that is
possible to mount multiple independant instances of it. Unlike to procfs it
would make sense now to mount spufs inside a VE. But to achieve that the
spufs must be known inside the VE - entry in /proc/filesystems at least. So
my question is: How can I achieve that the spufs is known in the VE. Will
it then automatically be mountable like in host (VE0) system or are there
more modifications to do?

Mit freundlichen Gr��en / Best Regards
Christian Kaiser

filesystem_type has have FS_VIRTUALIZED flag to allow
file system to be mountable from inside VE.

However, make sure that code in spufs doesn't have global
variables or at least uses them in a safe manner.
(e.g. it is safe to have global lock for all VEs,
but may be unsafe to have global list of some kind of objects).

Thanks,
Kirill
