From: Toshiyuki Okajima Subject: [PATCH][RFC] vfs: add message print mechanism for the mount/umount into the VFS layer Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2009 12:51:42 +0900 Message-ID: <20091006125142.b766ad98.toshi.okajima@jp.fujitsu.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org, linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org To: viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk, tytso@mit.edu Return-path: Sender: linux-fsdevel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-ext4.vger.kernel.org Hi. Now, on the VFS-layer any messages aren't printed at mount/umount time (when the operation normally terminates). But there are some filesystems which print their own specific messages at those times. For the purpose of the system management and so on, users (especially, enterprise users) want to observe their system operations from the system logs. We may manage to observe some filesystems' operations (mount/umount) from the logs. But the filesystems of which we can observe the operations are not all. Therefore to achieve the observations for all filesystems is to add the message mechanism into the VFS layer. If any filesystems' specific messages at mount/umount time are added into this, we can distinguish more easily each message among the system logs for our systems' observations. This patch provides the following: - message output at mount/umount time - the functions of printing the filesystem's specific information at mount/umount time (NOTE: This mechanism becomes effective only when the users call the mount system call because they don't want to observe the pseudo filesystems.) P.S. This concept derives from the following: - http://marc.info/?l=linux-ext4&m=125429349122986&w=2 - http://marc.info/?l=linux-ext4&m=125436936109125&w=2 Cc: "Theodore Ts'o" Signed-off-by: Toshiyuki Okajima -- fs/namespace.c | 19 ++++++++++++++++++- fs/super.c | 18 ++++++++++++++++-- include/linux/fs.h | 3 +++ include/linux/mount.h | 3 +++ 4 files changed, 40 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff -Nurp linux-2.6.32-rc3.orig/fs/namespace.c linux-2.6.32-rc3/fs/namespace.c --- linux-2.6.32-rc3.orig/fs/namespace.c 2009-10-05 09:12:30.000000000 +0900 +++ linux-2.6.32-rc3/fs/namespace.c 2009-10-06 09:58:19.000000000 +0900 @@ -599,6 +599,7 @@ static struct vfsmount *clone_mnt(struct static inline void __mntput(struct vfsmount *mnt) { struct super_block *sb = mnt->mnt_sb; + int silent = !(mnt->mnt_flags & MNT_VERBOSE_MSG); /* * This probably indicates that somebody messed * up a mnt_want/drop_write() pair.
