Subject: [PATCH 2/2] xfs: expose the current zonegc required status in sysfs
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 15:50:14 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260420135011.624587-6-cassel@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260420135011.624587-4-cassel@kernel.org>
The current zonegc required status is currently available in
/proc/<pid>/mountstats (which contains stats for all mounted zoned XFS
filesystems), under "RT GC required:".
Add a sysfs attribute /sys/fs/xfs/<dev>/zoned/zonegc_required for the same.
This makes it trivial for monitoring software to read the value, for a
specific filesystem, without any complex parsing.
