Would be better to avoid a dynamic allocation for a so small struct ? 
And as more general comment: what is the reason to pass a so complex struct 
only for setting/getting the flags ?
Would be it better to pass directly a u64 variable.

Same as before.

This is only an aesthetic comment: I prefer a simpler style like

	if ((flags & BTRFS_SUBVOL_RDONLY) && root->readonly)
		goto out_unlock;

But I know that every body has its style :-)

I double checked this line. But if I read the code correctly I think that the 
line above is wrong: the field "root->readonly" is flipped regardless the 
value of the flags passed by the user.

Moreover I have another question: why internally the flags is 
BTRFS_ROOT_SNAP_RDONLY, instead in user space the flag is BTRFS_SUBVOL_RDONLY 
? 

I suggest to 
- rename BTRFS_SUBVOL_RDONLY in BTRFS_SUBVOL_CREATE_SNAP_RDONLY (like 
BTRFS_SUBVOL_CREATE_SNAP_ASYNC)
- rename BTRFS_ROOT_SNAP_RDONLY in BTRFS_ROOT_FLAGS_RDONLY and use both in 
userspace and in kernel space this flag. I suggested to remove SNAP because 
the flag make sense also for a "standard" subvolume.
