💅 security_move_mount — Kernel API Manual, section (9)

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — this is the page for security_move_mount, and it's honestly a little icon of a function. Short, sweet, does exactly one job. We love a focused queen. 👑

✨ NAME ✨

security_move_mount — check permissions for moving a mount 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int security_move_mount (const struct path *from_path , const struct
       path *to_path );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • from_path — the source mount point, aka where the mount is coming from 💫
  • to_path — the destination mount point, aka where it's headed 🛬

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So like, the whole vibe here: check permission before a mount gets moved. That's it. That's the function. It's giving "security guard at the door of the mount-moving party" and honestly it's main character energy for such a tiny job. ✨

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Returns 0 if permission is granted. Zero equals slay in this context, no cap. 🫶

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

bestie that's a lot of cross-references, but every single one of them is invited to the group chat. don't @ me. 💀

and that's the whole page!! 💜 this lil slice of the Kernel API Manual (section 9) lives over in ./security, and it's dated October 2026 — so yeah, she's from the future, obviously. 🧚 go move a mount, stay permissioned, and slay. 🍓⭐💅
