Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Extended file stat system call [ver #2]


Implement a new system call to provide an extended and further extensible stat
function.

=======
CHANGES
=======

(*) Added an optional auxiliary data buffer pointer argument to sys_statxat()
and moved some of the stuff into it.

(*) Discarded "has an ACL info flag" for now.

(*) AFS doesn't need to set time granularity itself as the default is 1s
anyway.


===========
DESCRIPTION
===========

The second of the associated patches is the main patch that provides this new
system call:

long ret = statxat(int dfd,
const char *filename,
unsigned atflag,
unsigned mask,
struct statx *buffer,
struct statx_auxinfo *auxinfo);

which is more fully documented in the main patch's description.

This new stat function provides a number of useful features, in summary:

(1) More information: creation time, data version number, flags/attributes.
A subset of these is available through a number of filesystems (such as
CIFS, NFS, AFS, Ext4 and BTRFS).

(2) Lightweight stat: Ask for just those details of interest, and allow a
netfs (such as NFS) to approximate anything not of interest, possibly
without going to the server.

(3) Heavyweight stat: Force a netfs to go to the server, even if it thinks its
cached attributes are up to date.

(4) Allow the filesystem to indicate what it can/cannot provide: A filesystem
can now say it doesn't support a standard stat feature if that isn't
available.

(5) Make the fields a consistent size on all arches, and make them large.

(6) Can be extended by using more request flags and appending further data
after the end of the standard return data.

Note that no lstat() equivalent is required as that can be implemented through
statxat() with atflag == 0. There is also no fstat() equivalent as that can be
implemented through statxat() with filename == NULL and the relevant fd passed
as dfd.


=======
PATCHES
=======

Patch 1 introduces IOC flags for Windows Hidden, Archive and System attributes.

Patch 2 defines the statxat() system call.

Patch 3 implements extended stat facilities for AFS. Other fs patches to go
through their respective trees once the core is in.


==============
CONSIDERATIONS
==============

Should the default for a network fs be to do an unconditional (heavyweight)
stat with a flag to suppress going to the server to update the locally held
attributes and flushing pending writebacks?

Is it useful to pass the volume ID out? Or should statfs() be used for this?

Is there anything else I can usefully add at the moment?


==========
TO BE DONE
==========

Autofs, ntfs, btrfs, ...

I should perhaps use u8/u32/u64 rather than uint8/32/64_t.

Handle remote filesystems being offline and indicate this with
STATX_INFO_OFFLINE.

Should a "light stat" be explicitly requested by its own AT_ flag?


=======
TESTING
=======

There's a test program attached to the description for the main patch. It can
be run as follows:
[root@andromeda tmp]# ./xstat -R /mnt/foo

xstat(/mnt/foo) = 0

I'm not following the lightweight/heavyweight thing: so this is encoded
in the mask? So it's just a 1-bit value per attribute? Because it
seems like there are potentially 3 different behaviors:

- definitely get this from the server now even if you normally
wouldn't.
- definitely don't go to the server even if you know your cache
is stale.
- do whatever you'd normally do (check how old your cache is or
whatever).

I guess this is what you're asking in "considerations" below.

David,

This looks like great work. I admire the thoroughness and
the detail of the patches. I don't have much more to say
other than it looks robust and very well put together.

You have CC'd the glibc development list on these changes
and I appreciate that as a heads up on new syscalls is very
very useful for the developers.

Do you have any other expectations from the glibc development
community? Are you looking for help wiring this up or will
you be posting glibc patches at a later date?

Cheers,
Carlos.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] statxat: Add a system call to make extended file stats available [ver #2]

Add a system call to make extended file stats available, including file
creation time, inode version and data version where available through the
underlying filesystem.


========
OVERVIEW
========

The idea was initially proposed as a set of xattrs that could be retrieved with
getxattr(), but the general preferance proved to be for a new syscall with an
extended stat structure.

This has a number of uses:

(1) Creation time: The SMB protocol carries the creation time, which could be
exported by Samba, which will in turn help CIFS make use of FS-Cache as
that can be used for coherency data.

This is also specified in NFSv4 as a recommended attribute and could be
exported by NFSD [Steve French].

(2) Lightweight stat: Ask for just those details of interest, and allow a
netfs (such as NFS) to approximate anything not of interest, possibly
without going to the server [Trond Myklebust, Ulrich Drepper, Andreas
Dilger].

(3) Heavyweight stat: Force a netfs to go to the server, even if it thinks its
cached attributes are up to date [Trond Myklebust].

(4) Data version number: Could be used by userspace NFS servers [Aneesh Kumar].

Can also be used to modify fill_post_wcc() in NFSD which retrieves
i_version directly, but has just called vfs_getattr(). It could get it
from the kstat struct if it used vfs_xgetattr() instead.

(5) BSD stat compatibility: Including more fields from the BSD stat such as
creation time (st_btime) and inode generation number (st_gen) [Jeremy
Allison, Bernd Schubert].

(6) Inode generation number: Useful for FUSE and userspace NFS servers [Bernd
Schubert]. This was asked for but later deemed unnecessary with the
open-by-handle capability available

(7) Extra coherency data may be useful in making backups [Andreas Dilger].

(8) Allow the filesystem to indicate what it can/cannot provide: A filesystem
can now say it doesn't support a standard stat feature if that isn't
available, so if, for instance, inode numbers or UIDs don't exist or are
fabricated locally...

(9) Make the fields a consistent size on all arches and make them large.

(10) Store a 16-byte volume ID in the superblock that can be returned in struct
xstat [Steve French].

(11) Include granularity fields in the time data to indicate the granularity of
each of the times (NFSv4 time_delta) [Steve French].

(12) FS_IOC_GETFLAGS value. These could be translated to BSD's st_flags. Note
that the Linux IOC flags are a mess and filesystems such as Ext4 define
flags that aren't in linux/fs.h, so translation in the kernel may be a
necessity (or, possibly, we provide the filesystem type too).

(13) Mask of features available on file (eg: ACLs, seclabel) [Brad Boyer,
Michael Kerrisk].

(14) Spare space, request flags and information flags are provided for future
expansion.


===============
NEW SYSTEM CALL
===============

The new system call is:

int ret = statxat(int dfd,
const char *filename,
unsigned int flags,
unsigned int mask,
struct statx *buffer,
struct statx_auxinfo *auxinfo_buffer);

The dfd, filename and flags parameters indicate the file to query. There is no
equivalent of lstat() as that can be emulated with statxat() by passing
AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW in flags. There is also no equivalent of fstat() as that
can be emulated by passing a NULL filename to statxat() with the fd of interest
in dfd.

AT_FORCE_ATTR_SYNC can also be set in flags. This will require a network
filesystem to synchronise its attributes with the server.

mask is a bitmask indicating the fields in struct statx that are of interest to
the caller. The user should set this to STATX_BASIC_STATS to get the basic set
returned by stat().

buffer points to the destination for the main data and auxinfo_buffer points to
the destination for the optional auxiliary data. auxinfo_buffer can be NULL if
the auxiliary data is not required.

At the moment, this will only work on x86_64 and i386 as it requires the system
call to be wired up.


======================
MAIN ATTRIBUTES RECORD
======================

The following structures are defined in which to return the main attribute set:

struct statx_dev {
uint32_t major, minor;
};

struct statx {
uint32_t st_mask;
uint32_t st_information;
uint16_t st_mode;
uint16_t __spare0[1];
uint32_t st_nlink;
uint32_t st_uid;
uint32_t st_gid;
uint32_t st_alloc_blksize;
uint32_t st_blksize;
uint32_t st_small_io_size;
uint32_t st_large_io_size;
struct statx_dev st_rdev;
struct statx_dev st_dev;
int32_t st_atime_ns;
int32_t st_btime_ns;
int32_t st_ctime_ns;
int32_t st_mtime_ns;
int64_t st_atime;
int64_t st_btime;
int64_t st_ctime;
int64_t st_mtime;
uint64_t st_ino;
uint64_t st_size;
uint64_t st_blocks;
uint64_t st_version;
uint64_t st_ioc_flags;
uint64_t __spare1[14];
};

where st_information is local system information about the file, st_btime is
the file creation time, st_version is the data version number (i_version),
st_ioc_flags holds the flags from FS_IOC_GETFLAGS, st_mask is a bitmask
indicating the data provided and __spares*[] are where as-yet undefined fields
can be placed.

Time fields are split into separate seconds and nanoseconds fields to make
packing easier and the granularities are indicated in the auxiliary data. Note
that times can be negative if before 1970; in such a case, the nanosecond
fields should also be negative if not zero.

The defined bits in request_mask and st_mask are:

STATX_MODE Want/got st_mode
STATX_NLINK Want/got st_nlink
STATX_UID Want/got st_uid
STATX_GID Want/got st_gid
STATX_RDEV Want/got st_rdev
STATX_ATIME Want/got st_atime
STATX_MTIME Want/got st_mtime
STATX_CTIME Want/got st_ctime
STATX_INO Want/got st_ino
STATX_SIZE Want/got st_size
STATX_BLOCKS Want/got st_blocks
STATX_ALLOC_BLKSIZE Want/got st_alloc_blksize
STATX_IO_PARAMS Want/got I/O parameters
STATX_BASIC_STATS [The stuff in the normal stat struct]
STATX_BTIME Want/got st_btime
STATX_VERSION Want/got st_data_version
STATX_IOC_FLAGS Want/got FS_IOC_GETFLAGS
STATX_ALL_STATS [All currently available stuff]

The defined bits in st_ioc_flags are the usual FS_xxx_FL, plus some extra flags
that might be supplied by the filesystem. Note that Ext4 returns flags outside
of {EXT4,FS}_FL_USER_VISIBLE in response to FS_IOC_GETFLAGS. Should
{EXT4,FS}_FL_USER_VISIBLE be extended to cover them? Or should the extra flags
be suppressed?

The defined bits in the st_information field give local system data on a file,
how it is accessed, where it is and what it does:

STATX_INFO_ENCRYPTED File is encrypted
STATX_INFO_TEMPORARY File is temporary (NTFS/CIFS/deleted)
STATX_INFO_FABRICATED File was made up by filesystem
STATX_INFO_KERNEL_API File is kernel API (eg: procfs/sysfs)
STATX_INFO_REMOTE File is remote
STATX_INFO_OFFLINE File is offline (CIFS)
STATX_INFO_AUTOMOUNT Dir is automount trigger
STATX_INFO_AUTODIR Dir provides unlisted automounts
STATX_INFO_NONSYSTEM_OWNERSHIP File has non-system ownership details
STATX_INFO_REPARSE_POINT File is reparse point (NTFS/CIFS)

These are for the use of GUI tools that might want to mark files specially,
depending on what they are. I've tried not to provide overlap with
st_ioc_flags where something usable exists there.

The fields in struct statx come in a number of classes:

(0) st_dev, st_information.

These are local data and are always available.

(1) st_nlinks, st_uid, st_gid, st_[amc]time*, st_ino, st_size, st_blocks,
st_blksize.

These will be returned whether the caller asks for them or not. The
corresponding bits in st_mask will be set to indicate their presence.

If the caller didn't ask for them, then they may be approximated. For
example, NFS won't waste any time updating them from the server, unless as
a byproduct of updating something requested.

If the values don't actually exist for the underlying object (such as UID
or GID on a DOS file), then the bit won't be set in the st_mask, even if
the caller asked for the value. In such a case, the returned value will
be a fabrication.

(2) st_mode.

The part of this that identifies the file type will always be available,
irrespective of the setting of STATX_MODE. The access flags and sticky
bit are as for class (1).

(3) st_rdev.

As for class (1), but this won't be returned if the file is not a blockdev
or chardev. The bit will be cleared if the value is not returned.

(4) File creation time (st_btime*), data version (st_version), volume_id
(st_volume_id) and inode flags (st_ioc_flags).

These will be returned if available whether the caller asked for them or
not. The corresponding bits in st_mask will be set or cleared as
appropriate to indicate their presence.

If the caller didn't ask for them, then they may be approximated. For
example, NFS won't waste any time updating them from the server, unless
as a byproduct of updating something requested.


===========================
AUXILIARY ATTRIBUTES RECORD
===========================

The following structures are defined in which to return the auxiliary attribute
set:

struct statx_auxinfo {
uint32_t sx_mask;
uint32_t sx_fstype;
uint64_t sx_supported_ioc_flags;
uint64_t sx_fsid;
uint64_t __spare[13];
uint8_t sx_volume_id[16];
uint8_t sx_volume_uuid[16];
uint16_t sx_atime_gran_mantissa;
uint16_t sx_btime_gran_mantissa;
uint16_t sx_ctime_gran_mantissa;
uint16_t sx_mtime_gran_mantissa;
int8_t sx_atime_gran_exponent;
int8_t sx_btime_gran_exponent;
int8_t sx_ctime_gran_exponent;
int8_t sx_mtime_gran_exponent;
uint8_t sx_volume_name[66 + 1];
uint8_t sx_domain_name[256 + 1];
};

where sx_mask indicates the attributes that have been returned, sx_fstype is
the filesystem type ID as per linux/magic.h and sx_supported_ioc_flags is the
mask of flags in st_ioc_flags that are supported.

sx_*_tim_gran_* are time granularities in the form mant*10^exp (an exponent of
0 would indicate seconds, -9 would indicate nanoseconds). Note that VFAT, for
example, has a different granularity for each time.

There are five fields for volume identification:

(1) sx_fsid is the filesystem ID as per statfs::f_fsid.

(2) sx_volume_id is an arbitrary binary volume ID.

(3) sx_volume_uuid is the volume UUID

(4) sx_volume_name is a string holding the volume name

(5) sx_domain_name is a string holding the domain/cell/workgroup/server name.

All fields except sx_mask are optional. The fields are controlled by a
combination of the flags in st_mask and the flags in sx_mask in the following
manner:

st_mask & STATX_ATIME Got sx_atime_gran_*
st_mask & STATX_BTIME Got sx_btime_gran_*
st_mask & STATX_CTIME Got sx_ctime_gran_*
st_mask & STATX_MTIME Got sx_mtime_gran_*
st_mask & STATX_IOC_FLAGS Got sx_supported_ioc_flags
sx_mask & STATX_FSID Got sx_fsid
sx_mask & STATX_VOLUME_ID Got sx_volume_id
sx_mask & STATX_VOLUME_UUID Got sx_volume_uuid
sx_mask & STATX_VOLUME_NAME Got sx_volume_name
sx_mask & STATX_DOMAIN_NAME Got sx_domain_name

There is also spare expansion space in __spare[]. The whole structure is 512
bytes in size.

Just compile and run, passing it paths to the files you want to examine.

Here's some example output. Firstly, an NFS directory that crosses to another
FSID. Note that the FABRICATED and AUTOMOUNT info flags are set. The former
because the directory is invented locally as we don't see the underlying dir on
the server, the latter because transiting this directory will cause d_automount
to be invoked by the VFS.

If you're adding FAT specific flags here into the generic xstat
interface, can we get a bunch of common XFS specific flags into this
interface as well so people don't need to use xfs_io to get/set
them?

Cheers,

Dave.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] statxat: AFS: Return enhanced basic attributes [ver #2]

Return enhanced basic attributes from the AFS filesystem. This includes the
following:

(1) The data version number as st_data_version.

(2) STATX_INFO_AUTOMOUNT will be set on automount directories by virtue of
S_AUTOMOUNT being set on the inode. These are referrals to other volumes
or other cells.

(3) STATX_INFO_AUTODIR on a directory that does cell lookup for non-existent
names and mounts them (typically mounted on /afs with -o autocell). The
resulting directories are marked STATX_INFO_FABRICATED as they do not
actually exist in the mounted AFS directory.

(4) Files, directories and symlinks accessed over AFS are marked
STATX_INFO_REMOTE. Local fake directories are marked
STATX_INFO_FABRICATED.

(5) STATX_INFO_NONSYSTEM_OWNERSHIP is set as the UID and GID retrieved from an
AFS share may not be applicable on the system.

and also some auxiliary data:

(6) The volume ID and type.

(7) The volume name.

(8) The cell name.

This is a bug in the ext4 code. EXT4_FL_USER_VISIBLE should be extended to cover
all of the flags that are useful to userspace.

Typo above - vfs_fstat() is a wrapper around vfs_fstatx().

Does it make sense for code clarity to #define STATX_BASIC_STATS explicitly in terms
of the symbolic STATX_* fields, instead of just the numeric value?

This could be #defined in terms of STATX_BASIC_STATS | STATX_{other flags} to make
it easier to see what is in the basic flags, and what is extra.

Cheers, Andreas
