cleanname is used mainly by user-space programs.
the kernel only uses it to handle names of the form
/clean/name/.. -- names ending in a single "/..". for the
most part the kernel just keeps its names clean to
begin with.
dot is a local fiction provided by the kernel.
file servers never see dot, nor do they show it in listings.
as for stat, i looked at the kernel code, and it looks like
stat should be returning the mounted root info, not the
mount points. and sure enough, it does! i'm not sure
what i was seeing before that confused me. sorry for
confusing all of you. even union mounts appear to stat
the top guy in the union.
