+Each sysfs superblock's kernfs_super_info contains an array

kobj_nstype first mounts sysfs, a new superblock is created. It
will be differentiated from other sysfs mounts by having its

through bind mounting and mounts propagation, a task can easily view
the contents of other namespaces' sysfs mounts. Therefore, when a
