In principle I like this change. In practice I think you have just broken ABI compatiblity with the new mount ABI. In particular the following line seems broken. > diff --git a/fs/proc/root.c b/fs/proc/root.c > index dbcd96f07c7a..ba782d6e6197 100644 > --- a/fs/proc/root.c > +++ b/fs/proc/root.c > @@ -45,7 +45,7 @@ enum proc_param { > > static const struct fs_parameter_spec proc_fs_parameters[] = { > fsparam_u32("gid", Opt_gid), > - fsparam_u32("hidepid", Opt_hidepid), > + fsparam_string("hidepid", Opt_hidepid), > fsparam_string("subset", Opt_subset), > {} > }; As I read fs_parser.c fs_param_is_u32 handles string inputs and turns them into numbers, and it handles binary numbers. However fs_param_is_string appears to only handle strings. It appears to have not capacity to turn raw binary numbers into strings. So I think we probably need to fix fs_param_is_string to raw binary numbers before we can safely make this change to fs/proc/root.c David am I reading the fs_parser.c code correctly? If I am are you ok with a change like the above? Eric
