[PATCH 0/5] btrfs: send uevent on subvolume add/remove

[Marcos Paulo de Souza <marcos.souza.org@gmail.com>]

From: Marcos Paulo de Souza <mpdesouza@suse.com>

Hey guys,

these patches make btrfs to send an uevent to userspace whenever a subvolume is
added/removed. The changes are pretty straightforward. This patchset was based
in btrfs-misc-next.

The first patch adds an additional argument to btrfs_kobject_uevent to receive a
envp, and just forward this argument to kobject_uevent_envp.

Patch number 2 creates a new function that will be called by patches 4 and 5 to
setup the environment variable to be set to userspace using uevent. These two
environment variables are BTRFS_VOL_{NEW,DEL} and BTRFS_VOL_NAME. The first
variable will have the value 1 for subvolume add/remove (only one will be
exported, so udev can distinguish the event), and the second one hold the name
of the subvolume being added/removed.

Feel free to suggest any other useful information to be exported to userspace
when adding/removing a subvolume.

Patches 3 and 5 call btrfs_vol_uevent to send the event on subvolume add/remove.

Patch 4 creates a helper function to distinguish a subvolume from a snapshot,
since the same function is used to delete both. This function is used in patch
5.

Thanks for you reviews!
