Applied, thanks!
Please, send also updates for the mnt_fstype_is_pseudofs().

I started to inspect file systems available in SUSE, and I found that there is an another category of file systems: File systems that have a source (so they are not pseudo file systems), but information provided by the kernel is not sufficient to check whether a particular source is already mounted.
Some of them are completely undetectable (both source and FS type provide generic information only), some are detectable by source, but not by FS type, some are detectable by FS type, but source match cannot be used.
For these file systems, mount(8) cannot guarantee that the correct volume is mounted. Only some guesses are possible.
Maybe it should warn about it, or it should refuse such file systems in the fstab.
Examples of undetectable FUSE file systems:
xdg-document-portal is completely undetectable; it can be ran once per UID
/dev/fuse on /run/user/10027/doc type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=10027,group_id=100)
376 536 0:65 / /run/user/10027/doc rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime - fuse /dev/fuse rw,user_id=10027,group_id=100
curlftpfs undetectable by type, detectable by source
curlftpfs#ftp://ftp.suse.com/ on /home/sbrabec/T type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=10027,group_id=100)
544 510 0:47 / /sys/fs/fuse/connections rw,relatime master:282 - fusectl fusectl rw
encfs:
can be detected by type, source cannot be detected
encfs on /local/Encrypted type fuse.encfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=10027,group_id=100,default_permissions)
397 540 0:84 / /local/Encrypted rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime - fuse.encfs encfs rw,user_id=10027,group_id=100,default_permissions
gvfs:
can be detected by type, source cannot be detected
gvfsd-fuse on /run/user/10027/gvfs type fuse.gvfsd-fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=10027,group_id=100)
562 536 0:48 / /run/user/10027/gvfs rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime master:291 - fuse.gvfsd-fuse gvfsd-fuse rw,user_id=10027,group_id=100
archivemount:
can be detected by type, source cannot be detected
archivemount on /home/sbrabec/T type fuse.archivemount (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=10027,group_id=100)
376 539 0:65 / /home/sbrabec/T rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime - fuse.archivemount archivemount rw,user_id=10027,group_id=100

The question is how critical is it for us... maybe all we need is to
document mount(8) limitations for these cases.

No subtype ? How FUSE driver redirects it to the right code?

"subtype#" is deprecated; I guess fuse.curlftpfs has to work ;-)

I identified four problems of mount caused by incorrect implementations of FUSE drivers:
1. If a file system that does not provide its source is not listed as virtualfs or netfs, then is affected by the canonicalization problem (output of mount can be affected by contents of the working directory).
2. Inconsistency between mount output and mount input. It's hard to guess what needs to be added to fstab.
For example, in case of lower mentioned curlftpfs, it is possible to mount it from the fstab. But the arguments are different than the mount output:
ftp.suse.com /home/sbrabec/T fuse.curlftpfs defaults 0 0
(Note that file system has to be be "fuse.curlftpfs", not plain "fuse").
3. We enter into a problem with "mount -a":
# mount -a
# mount -a
fuse: mountpoint is not empty
fuse: if you are sure this is safe, use the 'nonempty' mount option
The inconsistency causes inability to detect that it is the same file system.
4. Inconsistency between provided source and accepted source:
If we try fstab:
curlftpfs#ftp://ftp.suse.com/ /home/sbrabec/T fuse.curlftpfs defaults 0 0
we will get:
# mount -a
Error connecting to ftp: Could not resolve host: curlftpfs
It is a fault of the curlftpfs itself. mount properly passes argument to mount.fuse and it to curlftpfs binary. But it does not understand it. (Note that it cannot be fixed by adding "fuse.curlftpfs" to mnt_fstype_is_netfs() or mnt_fstype_is_pseudofs().)
So I would consider such fuse implementations as semi-broken, and we should at least issue a warning when a file system provides dumb strings.

No subtype. I am not sure, how FUSE works internally, but these file systems are handled by a separate user space task. So probably no redirect is needed.

curlftpfs# is not a subtype. It is a source. Type is "fuse", subtype is not set.
