[PATCH 5/5] btrfs: ioctl: Call btrfs_vol_uevent on subvolume deletion

From: Marcos Paulo de Souza
Date: Wed Oct 23 2019 - 22:34:58 EST


From: Marcos Paulo de Souza <mpdesouza@xxxxxxxx>

Since the function btrfs_ioctl_snap_destroy is used for deleting both
subvolumes and snapshots it was needed call btrfs_is_snapshot,
which checks a giver btrfs_root and returns true if it's a snapshot.
The current code is interested in subvolumes only.

btrfs_vol_uevent will export two environment variables to udev:
BTRFS_VOL_NAME: containing the name of the subvolume deleted
BTRFS_VOL_DEL: will signalize that a volume is being deleted

One can create a udev rule and check for BTRFS_VOL_DEL being set,
these values one could detect whenever a subvolume is deleted, and
take any action based on the subvolume name contained in BTRFS_VOL_NAME.
