> So why exactly do you want this value? used for and to be consistent with what btrfs fi show does as of now, it shows the number of bytes used in the FS. just figured out that I could also use BTRFS_IOC_SPACE_INFO and do that math outside kernel. So pls. drop this kernel patch. I will be sending out a new progs patch which doesn't need kernel ioctl changes.
Also how are you going to deal with older kernels where this isn't populated? Thanks,
Since the ioctl arg size didn't change here (as I was using the reserved space) it will just show 0.0 when old kernel is used. Not a best way (as it lets user to wonder) but a good trade-off to make the fix as simple as possible.
