I do not think it should default to anything.

Suggest () around the (MS_NOEXEC|...|...)

Some of these probably should be sometypedef_t or so, to ensure they
have their minimum width on 32-bit. The struct also could have some
reordering to avoid needless padding.

Same. unsigned long <=> uint64_t might be needed/helpful/etc.

NULL is implicit, drop it, save some bytes in the object file.

Either azfs_mknod(), azfs_new_inode() or init_special_inode() seems
to be missing settings ->size to 0 in the !S_IFREG case and
setting ->size to something good-looking for S_IFDIR.

This looks like duplicate code. Usually the generic fs functions take
care of that, including quota handling which seems to be missing
here if this is continuing to exist.

redundant ().

redundant().

Why not fsuid/fsgid in the else case?

Can this be improved somehow? If the list of inodes is long, doing
statvfs() may keep the filesystem real busy.

Trailing comma preferred.

ENOSYS seems inappropriate.

as does EFAULT.

I see you have made plans to change the filesystem name :)

or just replace these macros.

C'mon, that fits on one line.

While we are at it,
		printk(KERN_ERR "Could not blafasel for " AZFS_FILESYSTEM_NAME "\n");
saves the extra argument.

Process forests, superblock mushrooms, GNOME desktop, what next?
