[PATCH v2 2/2] ext4: Add pollable sysfs entry for block threshold events

From: Beata Michalska
Date: Mon Mar 16 2015 - 09:26:23 EST


Add support for pollable sysfs entry for available
logical blocks threshold, allowing the userspace
to wait for the notification whenever the threshold
is reached instead of periodically calling the statfs.
This is supposed to work as a single-shot notifiaction
to reduce the number of triggered events.

+ available_blks_thres This RW file represents a threshold of available

+ enabled, a notification shall be triggered
+ whenever the number of available blocks drops
+ below the specified limit, awakening any

+ on this very file. Note, that this works only
+ as a single-shot notification: once triggered,
