Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Fix the ustat() regression
From: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@...app.com>
Since 2.6.18, the superblock sb->s_root has been a dummy dentry with a
dummy inode. This breaks ustat(), which actually uses sb->s_root in a
vfstat() call.
Fix this by making the s_root a dummy alias to the directory inode that was
used when creating the superblock.
