My only complaint was just about how you said this:
"When you create a subvolume, the directory inode that is
created in the parent subvolume has the inode number of 256"
If you revise that you might want to clarify. (Maybe "Every subvolume
has a root directory inode with inode number 256"?)
The way you've stated it sounds like you're talking about the
readdir-returned number, which would normally come from the inode that
has been covered up by the mount, and which really is an inode in the
parent filesystem....
