      fanotify: fanotify_init syscall implementation · 52c923dd
      Eric Paris 提交于
      NAME
      	fanotify_init - initialize an fanotify group
      
      SYNOPSIS
      	int fanotify_init(unsigned int flags, unsigned int event_f_flags, int priority);
      
      DESCRIPTION
      	fanotify_init() initializes a new fanotify instance and returns a file
      	descriptor associated with the new fanotify event queue.
      
      	The following values can be OR'd into the flags field:
      
      	FAN_NONBLOCK Set the O_NONBLOCK file status flag on the new open file description.
      		Using this flag saves extra calls to fcntl(2) to achieve the same
      		result.
      
      	FAN_CLOEXEC Set the close-on-exec (FD_CLOEXEC) flag on the new file descriptor.
      		See the description of the O_CLOEXEC flag in open(2) for reasons why
      		this may be useful.
      
      	The event_f_flags argument is unused and must be set to 0
      
      	The priority argument is unused and must be set to 0
      
      RETURN VALUE
      	On success, this system call return a new file descriptor. On error, -1 is
      	returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.
      
      ERRORS
      	EINVAL An invalid value was specified in flags.
      
      	EINVAL A non-zero valid was passed in event_f_flags or in priority
      
      	ENFILE The system limit on the total number of file descriptors has been reached.
      
      	ENOMEM Insufficient kernel memory is available.
      
      CONFORMING TO
      	These system calls are Linux-specific.

      fanotify: fscking all notification system · ff0b16a9
      Eric Paris 提交于
      fanotify is a novel file notification system which bases notification on
      giving userspace both an event type (open, close, read, write) and an open
      file descriptor to the object in question.  This should address a number of
      races and problems with other notification systems like inotify and dnotify
      and should allow the future implementation of blocking or access controlled
      notification.  These are useful for on access scanners or hierachical storage
      management schemes.
      
      This patch just implements the basics of the fsnotify functions.
