Currently all three ioctls returns the information of subvolume which contains the fd's inode. This is because to prevent a user from getting arbitrary subvolume information in the filesystem. So, in order to work "sub list" with these new ioctls , we need to do: 1. open the path 2. call GET_SUBVOL_INFO to get the subvolume info of opened path. 3. call GET_SUBVOL_ROOTREF to get the list of child subvolume id. 4. call INO_LOOKUP_USER to check if a user can really access the (parent directory of) child subvolume and construct the path. 5. for each accessible child subvolume, repeat 1-5. Therefore there is no way to search subvolumes outside of mount point if the default subvolume has been changed and cannot be used as an alternative of tree search ioctl for root. If we pass a subvolid to be searched as an argument (allowing for root only), it is possible to use these ioctls to replace tree search ioctl. However, this means the behavior of ioctl is different from root and normal user. Is it a good thing? Also, the number of ioctl call certainly increases since GET_SUBVOL_INFO/SUBVOL_ROOTREF needs to be called for each subvolume while tree search returns multiple information at once.
