I vaguely remember seeing a very similar patch before, is this a repost?

This can be:

	ns->size = i_size_read(ns->bdev->bd_inode);

Shouldn't this always be non-NULL?

Use up the full line:

	if (vfs_getattr(&ns->file->f_path, &stat, STATX_SIZE,
			AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC))

Also shouldn't there be error handling?  If we can't stat the file
the namespace is toast.
