Hi All, This series is a follow-up of the RFC patchset for generic filesystem events interface [1]. As there have been some rather significant changes to the synchronization method being used, more extensive testing (stress testing) has been performed (thus the delay). Changes from v1: - Improved synchronization: switched to RCU accompanied with ref counting mechanism - Limiting scope of supported event types along with default event codes - Slightly modified configuration (event types followed by arguments where required) - Updated documentation - Unified naming for netlink attributes - Updated netlink message format to include dev minor:major numbers despite the filesystem type - Switched to single cmd id for messages - Removed the per-config-entry ids --- [1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/15/46 --- Beata Michalska (4): fs: Add generic file system event notifications ext4: Add helper function to mark group as corrupted ext4: Add support for generic FS events shmem: Add support for generic FS events Documentation/filesystems/events.txt | 231 ++++++++++ fs/Makefile | 1 + fs/events/Makefile | 6 + fs/events/fs_event.c | 770 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ fs/events/fs_event.h | 25 ++ fs/events/fs_event_netlink.c | 99 +++++ fs/ext4/balloc.c | 25 +- fs/ext4/ext4.h | 10 + fs/ext4/ialloc.c | 5 +- fs/ext4/inode.c | 2 +- fs/ext4/mballoc.c | 17 +- fs/ext4/resize.c | 1 + fs/ext4/super.c | 39 ++ fs/namespace.c | 1 + include/linux/fs.h | 6 +- include/linux/fs_event.h | 58 +++ include/uapi/linux/fs_event.h | 54 +++ include/uapi/linux/genetlink.h | 1 + mm/shmem.c | 33 +- net/netlink/genetlink.c | 7 +- 20 files changed, 1357 insertions(+), 34 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/filesystems/events.txt create mode 100644 fs/events/Makefile create mode 100644 fs/events/fs_event.c create mode 100644 fs/events/fs_event.h create mode 100644 fs/events/fs_event_netlink.c create mode 100644 include/linux/fs_event.h create mode 100644 include/uapi/linux/fs_event.h -- 1.7.9.5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
