Subject: [PATCH v6 17/17] vfs: expose delegation support to userland
Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2025 09:12:58 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251111-dir-deleg-ro-v6-17-52f3feebb2f2@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251111-dir-deleg-ro-v6-0-52f3feebb2f2@kernel.org>
Now that support for recallable directory delegations is available,
expose this functionality to userland with new F_SETDELEG and F_GETDELEG
commands for fcntl().
Note that this also allows userland to request a FL_DELEG type lease on
files too. Userland applications that do will get signalled when there
are metadata changes in addition to just data changes (which is a
limitation of FL_LEASE leases).
These commands accept a new "struct delegation" argument that contains a
flags field for future expansion.
