Subject: where is disk block access in kernel ?
Date: Wed, 2 Mar 2016 11:57:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAJ2oMhJz7uXkUh1LM1Ene3C0aP5APm4Y5hLMRBy67_mPYGoYMg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
I would like to monitor the write access to disk blocks (so that I can
monitor the block index in some bitmap)
I think this must be done in kernel (userspace have no such information)
I have tried to search in kernel but did not found where is the API to
access disk blocks.
There is libata-core.c , but I can't find such routines there, and
neither any documentation.
Is there any idea ?
Regards,
Ran
