Hi Aneesh,

Just wondering why not call sb->s_op->statfs() to get the fsid in do_sys_name_to_handle() ?
The overhead is a little bit more code to get fsid from struct kstatfs, but we can gain,
1) avoid to have one more callback in struct super_operations.
2) more file system can be supported (since most of file systems have statfs() call back)

Thanks.
