^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

These XFS shrinkers are also per-block device like the superblock.
They need to read like "sb-xfs:vda1-36". and even though it is not
in this list, the xfs dquot shrinker will need this as well.

The proc and tmpfs shrinkers have the same problem - what instance
do they actually refer to?

Yeah, these all have a xfs_mount passed to them, so the superblock is
easily accessible here (mp->m_super)....

Cheers,
