Linux's Old Mount API Code On The Chopping Block For The 7.0 Kernel (www.phoronix.com)

The Linux kernel's "new mount API" that has been in the kernel since 2019 and recently made rounds for taking 6+ years to land the man page documentation on it will soon be the the only mount API internally within the kernel. Removing the "old" Linux kernel mount API internals is a candidate for the upcoming Linux 7.0 kernel cycle.

Christian Brauner has queued a patch by Red Hat's Eric Sandeen to remove the kernel-internal portion of the old mount API code from the kernel.
