[PATCH v3 00/13] fanotify: add support for more event types

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Jan,

This is the 3rd revision of patch series to add support for filesystem
change monitoring to fanotify.
It incorporates the changes you requested in review of v2 patches.
The complete work is available on fanotify_dirent branch [1] on my tree.

The end game is to use:
  fd = fanotify_init(FAN_CLASS_NOTIF|FAN_REPORT_FID, ...);
  rc = fanotify_mark(fd, FAN_MARK_FILESYSTEM, FAN_CREATE|FAN_DELETE...);
to monitor changes to a large scale namespace.

This functionality was not available with inotify API, which does not
scale well with recursive directory watches and was not available
with fanotify API, which did not support directory modification events.

I have tested this work with some preliminary LTP tests [2] and with
a prototype of global filesystem monitor based on inotify-tools [3].
Please see below a demo output [4] from filesystem monitor prototype.
Note that the "watches" in the prototype are userland entries to
map fid to path. The kernel has but one mark per super block.

Matthew Bobrowski has agreed to help me with writing more tests and
man pages (thanks Matthew!).

Thanks,
Amir.

Changes since v2:
- Discard FSNOTIFY_EVENT_DENTRY data type changes
- Cache fsid in connector instead of calling vfs_statfs() on every event
- Deny setting fid watch on filesystem with no fsid (tmpfs)
- Deny setting fid watch on filesystem with non root fsid (btrfs subvol)
- Report FAN_ONDIR for all event types with FAN_REPORT_FID
