Linux 4.11 compat: vfs_getattr() takes 4 args
There are changes to vfs_getattr() in torvalds/linux@a528d35. The new interface is: int vfs_getattr(const struct path *path, struct kstat *stat, u32 request_mask, unsigned int query_flags) The request_mask argument indicates which field(s) the caller intends to use. Fields the caller does not specify via request_mask may be set in the returned struct anyway, but their values may be approximate. The query_flags argument indicates whether the filesystem must update the attributes from the backing store. This patch uses the query_flags which result in vfs_getattr behaving the same as it did with the 2-argument version which the kernel provided before Linux 4.11. Members blksize and blocks are now always the same size regardless of arch. They match the size of the equivalent members in vnode_t. The configure checks are modified to ensure that the appropriate vfs_getattr() interface is used. A more complete fix, removing the ZFS dependency on vfs_getattr() entirely, is deferred as it is a much larger project.
