[PATCH 0/6] filesystem visibility ioctls

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

 



Hi all,

this patchset adds a few new ioctls to standardize a few interfaces we
want
 - get/set UUID
 - get sysfs path

The get/set UUID ioctls are lifted versions of the ext4 ioctls with one
difference, killing the flexible array member - we'll never have UUIDs
more than 16 bytes, and getting rid of the flexible array member makes
them easier to use.

FS_IOC_GETSYSFSNAME is new, but it addresses something that we've been
doing in fs specific code for awhile - "given a path on a mounted
filesystem, tell me where it lives in sysfs".

Cheers,
Kent
