My suspect is in sb_finish_set_opts():
if (strncmp(sb->s_type->name, "sysfs", sizeof("sysfs")) == 0)
If sb->s_type->name is exactly "sysfs", it will work, but if it only
starts with "sysfs" it won't. And if only exact matches are expected,
then strncmp is overkill and strcmp should be used instead.
Note that I don't know anything about the code so I might as well be
totally wrong.
