[RFC 0/4] Generic file system events interface
From: Beata Michalska
Date: Wed Apr 15 2015 - 03:16:06 EST
Hi All,
The following patchset is a result of previous discussions regarding
file system threshold notifiactions. It introduces support for file
system event notifications, sent through generic netlinik interface
whenever an fs-related event occurs. Included are also some shmem
and ext4 changes showing how the new interface might actually be used.
The vary idea of using the generic netlink interface has been previoulsy
suggested here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/8/18/169
The basic description of the new functionality can be found in
the first patch from this set - both in the commit message and
in the doc file.
Some very basic tests have been performed though still this is
a PoC version. Below though is a sample user space application
which subscribes to the new multicast group and listens for
potential fs-related events. The code has been based on libnl 3.4
and its test application for the generic netlink.
