[PATCH 3/3] xstat: Implement a requestable extra result to procuresome inode flags [ver #4]

From: David Howells
Date: Thu Jul 01 2010 - 19:58:05 EST


[This is, for the moment, to be considered an example. Do we actually want to
export these flags? Should they be a full member of struct xstat?]

Allow an extra result to be requested that makes available some inode flags,
along the lines of BSD's st_flags and Ext2/3/4's inode flags. This is
requested by setting XSTAT_REQUEST_INODE_FLAGS in the request_mask. If the
filesystem supports it for that file, then this will be set in result_mask and
16 bytes of information will be appended to the xstat buffer, if sufficient
buffer space is available.

The extra result is laid out according to the following structure:

struct xstat_inode_flags {
unsigned long long st_flags;
unsigned long long st_supported_flags;
};

where the filesystem indicates the flags it supports for that file and the
flags that are set on that file. The structure is of length:

XSTAT_LENGTH_INODE_FLAGS

The flags come in three sets:

(1) User settable flags (to be consistent with the BSD st_flags field):

UF_NODUMP Do not dump this file.
UF_IMMUTABLE This file is immutable.
UF_APPEND This file is append-only.
UF_OPAQUE This directory is opaque (unionfs).
UF_NOUNLINK This file can't be removed or renamed.
UF_COMPRESSED This file is compressed.
UF_HIDDEN This file shouldn't be displayed in a GUI.

The UF_SETTABLE constant is the union of the above flags.

(2) Superuser settable flags (to be consistent with the BSD st_flags field):

SF_ARCHIVED This file has been archived.
SF_IMMUTABLE This file is immutable.
SF_APPEND This file is append-only.
SF_NOUNLINK This file can't be removed or renamed.
SF_HIDDEN This file is a snapshot inode.

The SF_SETTABLE constant is the union of the above flags.

(3) Linux-specific flags:

XSTAT_LF_MAGIC_FILE Magic file, such as found in procfs and sysfs.
XSTAT_LF_SYNC File is written synchronously.
XSTAT_LF_NOATIME Atime is not updated on this file.
XSTAT_LF_JOURNALLED_DATA Data modifications to this file are journalled.
XSTAT_LF_ENCRYPTED This file is encrypted.
XSTAT_LF_SYSTEM This file is a system file (FAT/NTFS/CIFS).
XSTAT_LF_TEMPORARY This file is a temporary file (NTFS/CIFS).
XSTAT_LF_OFFLINE file is currently unavailable (CIFS).


The Ext4 filesystem has been modified to map certain Ext4 inode flags to the
above:

EXT4 FLAG MAPPED TO
======================= =======================================
EXT4_COMPR_FL UF_COMPRESSED
EXT4_SYNC_FL XSTAT_LF_SYNC
EXT4_IMMUTABLE_FL UF_IMMUTABLE and SF_IMMUTABLE
EXT4_APPEND_FL UF_APPEND and SF_APPEND
EXT4_NODUMP_FL UF_NODUMP
EXT4_NOATIME_FL XSTAT_LF_NOATIME
EXT4_JOURNAL_DATA_FL XSTAT_LF_JOURNALLED_DATA
EXT4_DIRSYNC_FL XSTAT_LF_SYNC (directories only)

With this patch applied, the test program given in the patch that introduced
the xstat() syscalls now does this:

[root@andromeda ~]# chattr +ia /var/cache/fscache/cull_atimes
[root@andromeda ~]# lsattr /var/cache/fscache/cull_atimes
----ia-------e- /var/cache/fscache/cull_atimes
[root@andromeda ~]# /tmp/xstat /var/cache/fscache/cull_atimes
xstat(/var/cache/fscache/cull_atimes) = 168
results=5fef
Size: 78088 Blocks: 168 IO Block: 4096 regular file
Device: 08:06 Inode: 13 Links: 1
Access: (0600/-rw-------) Uid: 0
Gid: 0
Access: 2010-06-29 18:17:41.092290108+0100
Modify: 2010-06-25 17:25:53.320261493+0100
Change: 2010-07-02 00:46:51.278803967+0100
Create: 2010-06-25 15:17:39.711172889+0100
Inode version: f585ab73h
0098: 0000000000060006 0000000e00060027

The extra results are hex dumped at the end in 64-bit chunks. As can be seen
above, st_flags=0x0000000000060006 and st_supported_flags=0000000e00060027.
That's showing that the file now has [SU]F_IMMUTABLE and [SU]F_APPEND enabled.

Note also that XSTAT_REQUEST_INODE_FLAGS (0x4000) is present in the result_mask
value (0x5fef) returned to userspace, and the amount of data returned by
xstat() has increased from 152 to 168 as appropriate for 16 bytes of extra
data.
