[PATCH v5.10.y] ext4: Send notifications on error

From: Ajay Kaher
Date: Tue Jul 23 2024 - 02:52:10 EST


From: Gabriel Krisman Bertazi <krisman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 9a089b21f79b47eed240d4da7ea0d049de7c9b4d ]

Send a FS_ERROR message via fsnotify to a userspace monitoring tool
whenever a ext4 error condition is triggered. This follows the existing
error conditions in ext4, so it is hooked to the ext4_error* functions.
