I guess your /proc based idea have exactly the same problem...
I see two possible ways:
- after open("/mnt", O_PATH) create copy-on-write object in kernel to
represent mount node -- kernel will able to modify it, but userspace
will get unchanged data from the FD until to close()
- improve fsinfo() to provide set (list) of the attributes by one call
