Subject: [PATCH 1/1] ubifs: ubifs to export filesystem error counters

Not all ubifs filesystem errors are propagated to userspace.

Export bad magic, bad node and crc errors via sysfs. This allows userspace
to notice filesystem errors:

/sys/fs/ubifs/ubiX_Y/errors_magic
/sys/fs/ubifs/ubiX_Y/errors_node
/sys/fs/ubifs/ubiX_Y/errors_crc

The counters are reset to 0 with a remount. Writing anything into the
counters also clears them.

I think this is a nice feature. Thanks for implementing it.
Please see some minor nits below.

Is there a specific reason why you didn't implement it via UBIFS's debugfs interface?
sysfs is ABI, so we cannot change much anymore.

I'm not sure whether everyone should be allowed to read these stats.
dmesg is also restricted these days. An unprivileged user should not see the
errors he can indirectly trigger.

Do we really need a new header file?
Usually most run-time stuff of UBIFS is part of ubifs.h.

These error counters are not meant for aiding debugging but for userspace to
monitor the sanity of the filesystem. Also ext4 exports error counters via
sysfs - it's probably a good idea to be consistent with them.

> sysfs is ABI, so we cannot change much anymore.

Judging by the filesystem permissions above, ext4 does not seem to allow
resetting error counters. If you worry about unchangable ABIs then we could
play it safe and don't support write callbacks for resetting the error counters
in an initial version of the ubifs sysfs. What do you think?

When we are at it, in the current code, writing anything into a sysfs node
resets the corresponding counter. One could fine-tune that to set the counter
to whatever non-negative integer is passed.

I don't mind 600, but having error counters world-readable is consistent with
ext4 (see dir above) and so I suggest to keep 644.

My fault. Will be fixed.

I wanted to be consistent with debugfs where fs/ubifs/debug.c comes with its
own header fs/ubifs/debug.h.


I'll send out a new patch once we agree on all changes. To recap:

- write callbacks: do we remove them? If not, do we keep them as is or do we
fine-tine them by letting a non-negative integer set the counter?

- 644 (world-readable) counters to be consistent with ext4?

- keep sysfs.h to be consistent with debugfs?

ext4 is not the reference design for filesystems in Linux.
e.g. btrfs has an ioctl for such stats.

debug.h is not just about debugfs. It is about debugging/developing UBIFS.
That's why it is kind of special.

I'd go for read-only first.

Please remove sysfs.h.
