/*
* btrfs_read_dev_super - read a valid superblock from a block device
* @fd: file descriptor of the device
* @sb: buffer where the superblock is going to be read in
* @sb_bytenr: offset of the particular superblock copy we want
* @sbflags: flags controlling how the superblock is read
*
* This function is used by various btrfs comands to obtain a valid superblock.
*
* It's mode of operation is controlled by the @sb_bytenr and @sbdflags
* parameters. If SBREAD_RECOVER flag is set and @sb_bytenr is
* BTRFS_SUPER_INFO_OFFSET then the function reads all 3 superblock copies and
* returns the newest one. If SBREAD_RECOVER is not set then only a single
* copy is read, which one is decided by @sb_bytenr. If @sb_bytenr !=
* BTRFS_SUPER_INFO_OFFSET then the @sbflags is effectively ignored and only a
* single copy is read.
