Currently there is no easy way to tell that the mounted file system contains errors other than checking for log messages, or reading the information directly from superblock. This patch adds new sysfs entry "errors" for each ext4 file system so user can simply check cat /sys/fs/ext4/sda/errors If the file system is not marked as containing errors then the file returns just 0. Otherwise it would print out the following information: <error count> first <first_error_time> <first_error_func>:<first_error_line> \ last <last_error_time> <last_error_func>:<last_error_line> For example: 2 first 1399305407 trigger_test_error:2630 last 1399463224 trigger_test_error:2601 Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@xxxxxxxxxx> --- v2: Change the name of the file to errors and change the output format fs/ext4/super.c | 23 +++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 23 insertions(+) diff --git a/fs/ext4/super.c b/fs/ext4/super.c index 6f9e6fa..9d49ec1 100644 --- a/fs/ext4/super.c +++ b/fs/ext4/super.c @@ -2502,6 +2502,27 @@ static ssize_t lifetime_write_kbytes_show(struct ext4_attr *a, EXT4_SB(sb)->s_sectors_written_start) >> 1))); } +static ssize_t errors_show(struct ext4_attr *a, + struct ext4_sb_info *sbi, char *buf) +{ + struct ext4_super_block *es = sbi->s_es; + + if (es->s_error_count) + return snprintf(buf, PAGE_SIZE, + "%u first %u %.*s:%d last %u %.*s:%d\n", + le32_to_cpu(es->s_error_count), + le32_to_cpu(es->s_first_error_time), + (int) sizeof(es->s_first_error_func), + es->s_first_error_func, + le32_to_cpu(es->s_first_error_line), + le32_to_cpu(es->s_last_error_time), + (int) sizeof(es->s_last_error_func), + es->s_last_error_func, + le32_to_cpu(es->s_last_error_line)); + else + return snprintf(buf, PAGE_SIZE, "0\n"); +} + static ssize_t inode_readahead_blks_store(struct ext4_attr *a, struct ext4_sb_info *sbi, const char *buf, size_t count) @@ -2617,6 +2638,7 @@ static struct ext4_attr ext4_attr_##_name = { \ EXT4_RO_ATTR(delayed_allocation_blocks); EXT4_RO_ATTR(session_write_kbytes); EXT4_RO_ATTR(lifetime_write_kbytes); +EXT4_RO_ATTR(errors); EXT4_RW_ATTR(reserved_clusters); EXT4_ATTR_OFFSET(inode_readahead_blks, 0644, sbi_ui_show, inode_readahead_blks_store, s_inode_readahead_blks); @@ -2641,6 +2663,7 @@ static struct attribute *ext4_attrs[] = { ATTR_LIST(delayed_allocation_blocks), ATTR_LIST(session_write_kbytes), ATTR_LIST(lifetime_write_kbytes), + ATTR_LIST(errors), ATTR_LIST(reserved_clusters), ATTR_LIST(inode_readahead_blks), ATTR_LIST(inode_goal), -- 1.8.3.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
