Subject: [RFC][PATCH 0/2] Monitoring unmounted fs with fanotify
Date: Fri, 14 Apr 2023 21:29:01 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230414182903.1852019-1-amir73il@gmail.com> (raw)
Jan,
Followup on my quest to close the gap with inotify functionality,
here is a proposal for FAN_UNMOUNT event.
I have had many design questions about this:
1) Should we also report FAN_UNMOUNT for marked inodes and sb
on sb shutdown (same as IN_UNMOUNT)?
2) Should we also report FAN_UNMOUNT on sb mark for any unmounts
of that sb?
3) Should we report also the fid of the mount root? and if we do...
4) Should we report/consider FAN_ONDIR filter?
All of the questions above I answered "not unless somebody requests"
in this first RFC.
Specifically, I did get a request for an unmount event for containers
use case.
I have also had doubts regarding the info records.
I decided that reporting fsid and mntid is minimum, but couldn't
decide if they were better of in a single MNTID record or seprate
records.
I went with separate records, because:
a) FAN_FS_ERROR has set a precendent of separate fid record with
fsid and empty fid, so I followed this precendent
b) MNTID record we may want to add later with FAN_REPORT_MNTID
to all the path events, so better that it is independent
There is test for the proposed API extention [1].
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Amir.
