[PATCH] inotify: Added pid and uid information in inotify event.

From: lizhigang
Date: Mon Jul 08 2024 - 06:13:21 EST


The inotify event only contains file name information. Sometimes we
also want to know user or process information,such as who created
or deleted a file. This patch adds information such as COMM, PID
and UID to the end of filename, which allowing us to implement
this function without modifying the current Inotify mechanism.

This function is not enabled by default and is enabled through an IOCTL

When enable this function, inotify_event->name will contain comm,
pid and uid information, with the following specific format:

filename____XXX,pid:YYY__uid:ZZZ

Pseudo code to enable this function:
int rc, bytes_to_read, inotify_fd;

inotify_fd = inotify_init();
...
// enable padding uid,pid information
rc = ioctl( inotify_fd, TIOCLINUX, &bytes_to_read);

Log example with this function:
CREATE,ISDIR /home/peter/testdir____mkdir,pid:3626__uid:1000
CREATE /home/peter/test.txt____bash,pid:3582__uid:1000
OPEN /home/peter/test.txt____bash,pid:3582__uid:1000
MODIFY /home/peter/test.txt____bash,pid:3582__uid:1000
CLOSE_WRITE,CLOSE /home/peter/test.txt____bash,pid:3582__uid:1000
OPEN,ISDIR /home/peter/testdir____rm,pid:3640__uid:1000
ACCESS,ISDIR /home/peter/testdir____rm,pid:3640__uid:1000
ACCESS,ISDIR /home/peter/testdir____rm,pid:3640__uid:1000
CLOSE_NOWRITE,CLOSE,ISDIR /home/peter/testdir____rm,pid:3640__uid:1000
DELETE,ISDIR /home/peter/testdir____rm,pid:3640__uid:1000
