[PATCH 1/4] statx: Add a system call to make enhanced file info available

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

 



Add a system call to make extended file information available, including
file creation, data version and some attribute flags where available
through the underlying filesystem.


========
OVERVIEW
========

The idea was initially proposed as a set of xattrs that could be retrieved
with getxattr(), but the general preferance proved to be for a new syscall
with an extended stat structure.

This has a number of uses:

 (1) Better support for the y2038 problem [Arnd Bergmann].

 (2) Creation time: The SMB protocol carries the creation time, which could
     be exported by Samba, which will in turn help CIFS make use of
     FS-Cache as that can be used for coherency data.

     This is also specified in NFSv4 as a recommended attribute and could
     be exported by NFSD [Steve French].

 (3) Lightweight stat: Ask for just those details of interest, and allow a
     netfs (such as NFS) to approximate anything not of interest, possibly
     without going to the server [Trond Myklebust, Ulrich Drepper, Andreas
     Dilger].

 (4) Heavyweight stat: Force a netfs to go to the server, even if it thinks
     its cached attributes are up to date [Trond Myklebust].

 (5) Data version number: Could be used by userspace NFS servers [Aneesh
     Kumar].

     Can also be used to modify fill_post_wcc() in NFSD which retrieves
     i_version directly, but has just called vfs_getattr().  It could get
     it from the kstat struct if it used vfs_xgetattr() instead.

 (6) BSD stat compatibility: Including more fields from the BSD stat such
     as creation time (st_btime) and inode generation number (st_gen)
     [Jeremy Allison, Bernd Schubert].

 (7) Inode generation number: Useful for FUSE and userspace NFS servers
     [Bernd Schubert].  This was asked for but later deemed unnecessary
     with the open-by-handle capability available

 (8) Extra coherency data may be useful in making backups [Andreas Dilger].

 (9) Allow the filesystem to indicate what it can/cannot provide: A
     filesystem can now say it doesn't support a standard stat feature if
     that isn't available, so if, for instance, inode numbers or UIDs don't
     exist or are fabricated locally...

(10) Make the fields a consistent size on all arches and make them large.

(11) Store a 16-byte volume ID in the superblock that can be returned in
     struct xstat [Steve French].

(12) Include granularity fields in the time data to indicate the
     granularity of each of the times (NFSv4 time_delta) [Steve French].

(13) FS_IOC_GETFLAGS value.  These could be translated to BSD's st_flags.
     Note that the Linux IOC flags are a mess and filesystems such as Ext4
     define flags that aren't in linux/fs.h, so translation in the kernel
     may be a necessity (or, possibly, we provide the filesystem type too).

(14) Mask of features available on file (eg: ACLs, seclabel) [Brad Boyer,
     Michael Kerrisk].

(15) Spare space, request flags and information flags are provided for
     future expansion.

Note that not all of the above are implemented here.


===============
NEW SYSTEM CALL
===============

The new system call is:

	int ret = statx(int dfd,
			const char *filename,
			unsigned int flags,
			unsigned int mask,
			struct statx *buffer);

The dfd, filename and flags parameters indicate the file to query.  There
is no equivalent of lstat() as that can be emulated with statx() by passing
AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW in flags.  There is also no equivalent of fstat() as
that can be emulated by passing a NULL filename to statx() with the fd of
interest in dfd.

AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC can be set in flags.  This will require a network
filesystem to synchronise its attributes with the server.

AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC can be set in flags.  This will suppress synchronisation
with the server in a network filesystem.  The resulting values should be
considered approximate.

If neither AT_STATX_*_SYNC flag is set, the behaviour is the default for
stat() on that filesystem.

mask is a bitmask indicating the fields in struct statx that are of
interest to the caller.  The user should set this to STATX_BASIC_STATS to
get the basic set returned by stat().  It should be note that asking for
more information may entail more I/O operations.

buffer points to the destination for the data.  This must be 256 bytes in
size.


======================
MAIN ATTRIBUTES RECORD
======================

The following structures are defined in which to return the main attribute
set:

	struct statx {
		__u32	stx_mask;
		__u32	stx_blksize;
		__u64	stx_attributes;
		__u32	stx_nlink;
		__u32	stx_uid;
		__u32	stx_gid;
		__u16	stx_mode;
		__u16	__spare0[1];
		__u64	stx_ino;
		__u64	stx_size;
		__u64	stx_blocks;
		__u64	stx_version;
		__s64	stx_atime;
		__s64	stx_btime;
		__s64	stx_ctime;
		__s64	stx_mtime;
		__s32	stx_atime_ns;
		__s32	stx_btime_ns;
		__s32	stx_ctime_ns;
		__s32	stx_mtime_ns;
		__u32	stx_rdev_major;
		__u32	stx_rdev_minor;
		__u32	stx_dev_major;
		__u32	stx_dev_minor;
		__u64	__spare1[16];
	};

The defined bits in request_mask and stx_mask are:

	STATX_TYPE		Want/got stx_mode & S_IFMT
	STATX_MODE		Want/got stx_mode & ~S_IFMT
	STATX_NLINK		Want/got stx_nlink
	STATX_UID		Want/got stx_uid
	STATX_GID		Want/got stx_gid
	STATX_ATIME		Want/got stx_atime{,_ns}
	STATX_MTIME		Want/got stx_mtime{,_ns}
	STATX_CTIME		Want/got stx_ctime{,_ns}
	STATX_INO		Want/got stx_ino
	STATX_SIZE		Want/got stx_size
	STATX_BLOCKS		Want/got stx_blocks
	STATX_BASIC_STATS	[The stuff in the normal stat struct]
	STATX_BTIME		Want/got stx_btime{,_ns}
	STATX_VERSION		Want/got stx_version
	STATX_ALL		[All currently available stuff]

stx_btime is the file creation time; stx_version is the data version number
(i_version); stx_mask is a bitmask indicating the data provided; and
__spares*[] are where as-yet undefined fields can be placed.

Time fields are split into separate seconds and nanoseconds fields to make
packing easier and the granularities can be queried with the filesystem
info system call.  Note that times will be negative if before 1970; in such
a case, the nanosecond fields will also be negative if not zero.

The bits defined in the stx_attributes field convey information about a
file, how it is accessed, where it is and what it does.  The following
attributes map to FS_*_FL flags and are the same numerical value:

	STATX_ATTR_COMPRESSED		File is compressed by the fs
	STATX_ATTR_IMMUTABLE		File is marked immutable
	STATX_ATTR_APPEND		File is append-only
	STATX_ATTR_NODUMP		File is not to be dumped
	STATX_ATTR_ENCRYPTED		File requires key to decrypt in fs

The supported flags are listed by:

	STATX_ATTR_FS_IOC_FLAGS

[Are any other IOC flags of sufficient general interest to be exposed
through this interface?]

New flags include:

	STATX_ATTR_NONUNIX_OWNERSHIP	File doesn't have Unixy ownership
	STATX_ATTR_HAS_ACL		File has an ACL
	STATX_ATTR_KERNEL_API		File is kernel API (eg: procfs/sysfs)
	STATX_ATTR_REMOTE		File is remote and needs network
	STATX_ATTR_FABRICATED		File was made up by fs
	STATX_ATTR_AUTOMOUNT		Object is an automount trigger
	STATX_ATTR_UNLISTED_DENTS	Dir: Lookup may find files getdents doesn't

These are for the use of GUI tools that might want to mark files specially,
depending on what they are.

Fields in struct statx come in a number of classes:

 (0) stx_dev_*, stx_blksize.

     These are local system information and are always available.

 (1) stx_mode, stx_nlinks, stx_uid, stx_gid, stx_[amc]time*, stx_ino,
     stx_size, stx_blocks.

     These will be returned whether the caller asks for them or not.  The
     corresponding bits in stx_mask will be set to indicate whether they
     actually have valid values.

     If the caller didn't ask for them, then they may be approximated.  For
     example, NFS won't waste any time updating them from the server,
     unless as a byproduct of updating something requested.

     If the values don't actually exist for the underlying object (such as
     UID or GID on a DOS file), then the bit won't be set in the stx_mask,
     even if the caller asked for the value.  In such a case, the returned
     value will be a fabrication.

     Note that there are instances where the type might not be valid, for
     instance Windows reparse points.

 (2) stx_rdev_*.

     This will be set only if stx_mode indicates we're looking at a
     blockdev or a chardev, otherwise will be 0.

 (3) stx_btime*, stx_version.

     Similar to (1), except these will be set to 0 if they don't exist.


=======
TESTING
=======

The following test program can be used to test the statx system call:

	samples/statx/test-statx.c

Just compile and run, passing it paths to the files you want to examine.
The file is built automatically if CONFIG_SAMPLES is enabled.

Here's some example output.  Firstly, an NFS directory that crosses to
another FSID.  Note that the FABRICATED and AUTOMOUNT info flags are set.
The former because the directory is invented locally as we don't see the
underlying dir on the server, the latter because transiting this directory
will cause d_automount to be invoked by the VFS.

	[root@andromeda tmp]# ./samples/statx/test-statx -A /warthog/data
	statx(/warthog/data) = 0
	results=17ff
	  Size: 4096            Blocks: 8          IO Block: 1048576  directory
	Device: 00:26           Inode: 1703937     Links: 124

	Access: 2016-11-10 15:52:11.219935864+0000
	Modify: 2016-11-10 08:07:32.482314928+0000
	Change: 2016-11-10 08:07:32.482314928+0000
	Data version: 58242ac41cbf8ab0h
	Attributes: 000000000000e000 (-------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- mfr----- --------)
	IO-blocksize: blksize=1048576

Secondly, the result of automounting on that directory.

	[root@andromeda tmp]# ./samples/statx/test-statx /warthog/data
	statx(/warthog/data) = 0
	results=17ff
	  Size: 4096            Blocks: 8          IO Block: 1048576  directory
