Hi Miklos and anyone interested in this proposal, is there any update on this? Sorry that I didn't find any.. Thanks & Best regards, Abel On 5/3/22 8:23 PM, Miklos Szeredi wrote:
This is a simplification of the getvalues(2) prototype and moving it to the getxattr(2) interface, as suggested by Dave. The patch itself just adds the possibility to retrieve a single line of /proc/$$/mountinfo (which was the basic requirement from which the fsinfo patchset grew out of). But this should be able to serve Amir's per-sb iostats, as well as a host of other cases where some statistic needs to be retrieved from some object. Note: a filesystem object often represents other kinds of objects (such as processes in /proc) so this is not limited to fs attributes. This also opens up the interface to setting attributes via setxattr(2).
