[PATCH v5 4/6] block: export diskseq in sysfs

From: Matteo Croce
Date: Mon Jul 12 2021 - 19:07:51 EST


From: Matteo Croce <mcroce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add a new sysfs handle to export the new diskseq value.
Place it in <sysfs>/block/<disk>/diskseq and document it.

$ grep . /sys/class/block/*/diskseq
/sys/class/block/loop0/diskseq:13
/sys/class/block/loop1/diskseq:14
/sys/class/block/loop2/diskseq:5
/sys/class/block/loop3/diskseq:6
/sys/class/block/ram0/diskseq:1
/sys/class/block/ram1/diskseq:2
/sys/class/block/vda/diskseq:7

+Description:
+ The /sys/block/<disk>/diskseq files reports the disk
+ sequence number, which is a monotonically increasing
+ number assigned to every drive.
+ Some devices, like the loop device, refresh such number
+ every time the backing file is changed.
+ The value type is 64 bit unsigned.
