Good idea. I'll write a manpage as if it were being converted to a general ioctl
and not specific to ext4.

I can't copy sbi->s_es->s_uuid into fsuuid.fu_uuid since fu_uuid is a
VLA (size 0 array).
Are you suggesting I copy_to_user() from sbi->s_es->s_uuid into
ufsuuid within the locked region?

When an ext4 filesystem is being resized, which could potentially take
a long time,
ext4_update_superblocks_fn() will return -EBUSY. In that case we can
either sleep and retry,
or return EBUSY to userspace. However, for my use case, I only care
about the blocking case.
I'll remove the flag since the default mode will be blocking.
