uuid_t, please, not an open coded uuid_t.

I still think this failing to copy the flex array member and then
having to declare a local uuid buffer is an ugly wart, not just on
the API side of things.

XFS uses sizeof(uuid_t) for the size of it's uuids, not UUID_SIZE.

Hmmmm. Shouldn't we be promoting xfs_fs_get_uuid() to xfs_super.c
(without the pNFS warning!) and calling that here, rather than open
coding another "get the XFS superblock UUID" function here?

i.e.
	if (fsuuid.fsu_flags != 0)
		return -EINVAL;

	error = xfs_fs_get_uuid(&mp->m_sb, uuid, &fsuuid.fsu_len, NULL);
	if (error)
		return -EINVAL;

Also, uuid_copy()?

Cheers,

Dave.
