From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@xxxxxxxx> ustat() does not work for btrfs, the reason is the VFS layer cannot get to the super block from the anonymous bdevs. The way these are used within btrfs though are to actually use a series of them per superblock. This modifies the way the VFS exposes these bdevs by pegging them onto the super block on a linked list. This should also allow us to grow the subdevices on the super block with any other information that might be better suited underneath so that the VFS layer is aware. If this approach is reasonable then perhaps we should next remove the exported symbol for get_anon_bdev() as btrfs was the only user. Luis R.
