Check if the source fd is not a block device file using the fstat syscall and if that's the case, try to mount the file using a temporary loop device.

Name
mount - mount a filesystem
Synopsis
$ mount
# mount -a
# mount <source> <target> [-t fstype] [-o options]
Description
If invoked without any arguments, mount prints a list of all currently mounted
filesystems.
If invoked as mount -a, mount mounts all the filesystems configured in
/etc/fstab and /etc/fstab.d/*. This is normally done on system startup by
SystemServer(7).
Otherwise, mount performs a single filesystem mount. Source should be a path
to a file containing the filesystem image. Target and fstype have the same
meaning as in the mount(2) syscall (if not specified,
fstype defaults to ext2).
A special source value "none" is recognized, in which case
mount(8) will not attempt to open the source as a file, and will
pass an invalid file descriptor to mount(2). This is
useful for mounting pseudo filesystems.
Options correspond to the mount flags, and should be specified as a
comma-separated list of flag names (lowercase and without the MS_ prefix).
Additionally, the name defaults is accepted and ignored.
Files
/etc/fstab- read bymount -aon startup to find out which filesystems to mount./etc/fstab.d- directory with drop-in additions to the normalfstabfile, also read bymount -a./sys/kernel/df- read bymountto get information about mounted filesystems.
Examples
# mount devpts /dev/pts -t devpts -o noexec,nosuid
# mount /home/anon/myfile.txt /tmp/foo -o bind
# mount a regular file using a temporary loop device
$ mount /home/anon/myfilesystem.bin /mnt
