Subject: [PATCH v7 26/28] ext4: Send notifications on error
Date: Thu, 14 Oct 2021 18:36:44 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211014213646.1139469-27-krisman@collabora.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211014213646.1139469-1-krisman@collabora.com>

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.

It also follows the current dmesg reporting in the format.  The
filesystem message is composed mostly by the string that would be
otherwise printed in dmesg.

A new ext4 specific record format is exposed in the uapi, such that a
monitoring tool knows what to expect when listening errors of an ext4
filesystem.
