Some filesystems may want to report different values depending on the path within the filesystem, i.e. one mount is actually several filesystems. This can be the case for a network filesystem exported by an unprivileged server (e.g. sshfs). This is now possible, thanks to David Howells "VFS: Permit filesystem to perform statfs with a known root dentry" patch. This change is backward compatible, so no need to change interface version.
