[PATCH 3/4] statx: NFS: Return enhanced file attributes [ver #3]

From: David Howells
Date: Tue Nov 22 2016 - 19:59:12 EST


Return enhanced file atrributes from the NFS filesystem. This includes the
following:

(1) STATX_ATTR_AUTOMOUNT is set on referral or submount directories that
are automounted upon. NFS shows one directory with a different FSID,
but the local VFS has two: the mountpoint directory (fabricated) and
the root of the filesystem mounted upon it.

Furthermore, what nfs_getattr() does can be controlled as follows:

(1) If AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC is indicated then this will suppress the
flushing of outstanding writes and the rereading of the inode's
attributes with the server as detailed below.

(2) Otherwise:

(a) If AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC is indicated, or mtime or ctime are
requested then the outstanding writes will be written to the
server first.

(b) The inode's attributes will be reread from the server:

(i) if AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC is indicated;

(ii) if atime is requested (and atime updating is not suppressed by
a mount flag); or

(iii) if the cached attributes have expired;

If the inode isn't synchronised, then the cached attributes will be used -
even if expired - without reference to the server.

Example output:

[root@andromeda ~]# ./samples/statx/test-statx /warthog/
statx(/warthog/) = 0
results=17ff
Size: 4096 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 1048576 directory
Device: 00:26 Inode: 2 Links: 21
Access: (0555/dr-xr-xr-x) Uid: 0 Gid: 0
Access: 2016-11-14 11:49:14.582749262+0000
Modify: 2016-09-08 20:39:46.785788707+0100
Change: 2016-09-08 20:39:46.785788707+0100
IO-blocksize: blksize=1048576

Note that the NFS4 protocol potentially provides a creation time that could
be passed through this interface and system, hidden and archive values that
could be passed as attributes. There is also a backup time that could be
exposed.
