[PATCH 05/17] watch_queue: Add superblock notifications [ver #17]

David Howells
2020-02-21T18:02:45Z

Add a superblock event notification facility whereby notifications about
superblock events, such as I/O errors (EIO), quota limits being hit
(EDQUOT) and running out of space (ENOSPC) can be reported to a monitoring
process asynchronously. Note that this does not cover vfsmount topology
changes. watch_mount() is used for that.

Firstly, an event queue needs to be created:

fd = open("/dev/event_queue", O_RDWR);
ioctl(fd, IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_SET_SIZE, page_size << n);

then a notification can be set up to report notifications via that queue:

struct watch_notification_filter filter = {
.nr_filters = 1,
.filters = {
[0] = {
.type = WATCH_TYPE_SB_NOTIFY,
.subtype_filter[0] = UINT_MAX,
},
},
};
ioctl(fd, IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_SET_FILTER, &filter);
watch_sb(AT_FDCWD, "/home/dhowells", 0, fd, 0x03);

In this case, it would let me monitor my own homedir for events. After
setting the watch, records will be placed into the queue when, for example,
as superblock switches between read-write and read-only. Records are of
the following format:

struct superblock_notification {
struct watch_notification watch;
__u64 sb_id;
} *n;

Where:

n->watch.type will be WATCH_TYPE_SB_NOTIFY.

n->watch.subtype will indicate the type of event, such as
NOTIFY_SUPERBLOCK_READONLY.

n->watch.info & WATCH_INFO_LENGTH will indicate the length of the
record.

n->watch.info & WATCH_INFO_ID will be the fifth argument to
watch_sb(), shifted.

n->watch.info & NOTIFY_SUPERBLOCK_IS_NOW_RO will be used for
NOTIFY_SUPERBLOCK_READONLY, being set if the superblock becomes
R/O, and being cleared otherwise.

n->sb_id will be the ID of the superblock, as can be retrieved with
the fsinfo() syscall, as part of the fsinfo_sb_notifications
attribute in the the watch_id field.

Note that it is permissible for event records to be of variable length -
or, at least, the length may be dependent on the subtype. Note also that
the queue can be shared between multiple notifications of various types.
