/*
* Structure for getting mount/superblock/filesystem info with statmount(2).
*
* The interface is similar to statx(2): individual fields or groups can be
* selected with the @mask argument of statmount(). Kernel will set the @mask
* field according to the supported fields.
*
* If string fields are selected, then the caller needs to pass a buffer that
* has space after the fixed part of the structure. Nul terminated strings are
* copied there and offsets relative to @str are stored in the relevant fields.
* If the buffer is too small, then EOVERFLOW is returned. The actually used
* size is returned in @size.

Annotation
- Immediate include surface: `linux/types.h`.
- Detected declarations: `struct mount_attr`, `struct statmount`, `struct mnt_id_req`, `enum fsconfig_command`.
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / tools.
- Implementation status: source implementation candidate.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
