[PATCH 4/5] vfs: Add superblock notifications

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

 



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.  mount_notify() is used for that.

Firstly, an event queue needs to be created:

	fd = open("/dev/event_queue", O_RDWR);

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

	struct watch_notification_filter filter;
	memset(&filter, 0, sizeof(filter));
	filter.subtype_filter[0] = ~0ULL;
	filter.info_id		 = 0x03000000;
	sb_notify(AT_FDCWD, "/home/dhowells", 0, fd, &filter);

In this case, it would let me monitor my own homedir for events.

Note that the queue can be shared between multiple notifications of various
types.

[*] QUESTION: Does this want to be per-sb, per-mount_namespace,
    per-some-new-notify-ns or per-system?  Or do multiple options make
    sense?

[*] QUESTION: I've done it this way so that anyone could theoretically
    monitor the superblock of any filesystem they can pathwalk to, but do
    we need other security controls?

[*] QUESTION: Should the LSM be able to filter the events a queue can
    receive?  For instance the opener of the queue would grant that queue
    subject creds (by ->f_cred) that could be used to govern what events
    could be seen, assuming the target superblock to have some object
    creds, based on, say, the mounter.
