Add a block layer notification mechanism whereby notifications about
block-layer events such as I/O errors, can be reported to a monitoring
process asynchronously.
Firstly, an event queue needs to be created:
pipe2(fds, O_NOTIFICATION_PIPE);
ioctl(fds[1], IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_SET_SIZE, 256);
then a notification can be set up to report block notifications via that
queue:
struct watch_notification_filter filter = {
.nr_filters = 1,
.filters = {
[0] = {
.type = WATCH_TYPE_BLOCK_NOTIFY,
.subtype_filter[0] = UINT_MAX;
},
},
};
ioctl(fds[1], IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_SET_FILTER, &filter);
watch_devices(fds[1], 12);
After that, records will be placed into the queue when, for example, errors
occur on a block device. Records are of the following format:
struct block_notification {
struct watch_notification watch;
__u64 dev;
__u64 sector;
} *n;
Where:
n->watch.type will be WATCH_TYPE_BLOCK_NOTIFY
n->watch.subtype will be the type of notification, such as
NOTIFY_BLOCK_ERROR_CRITICAL_MEDIUM.
n->watch.info & WATCH_INFO_LENGTH will indicate the length of the
record.
n->watch.info & WATCH_INFO_ID will be the second argument to
watch_devices(), shifted.
n->dev will be the device numbers munged together.
n->sector will indicate the affected sector (if appropriate for the
event).
Note that it is permissible for event records to be of variable length -
or, at least, the length may be dependent on the subtype.
