[dm-devel] [PATCH 2/3] dm: Add support to poll for dm events

Andy Grover agrover at redhat.com
Mon Jan 9 18:20:39 UTC 2017


Instead of requiring a thread for each device to sleep in ioctl(DEV_WAIT)
to receive dm events, allow a single thread to:

1) Open /dev/mapper/control multiple times
2) Associate each of these open file descriptors with different DM devices
3) poll() on all of these
4) When an event occurs, use TABLE_STATUS ioctl to get device's state

This requires:

a) Implementing open, release, and poll file operations
b) Defining a per-file context struct called dm_file
c) Adding a new DEV_ASSOC ioctl to associate a file with a single dm device
d) Handle if fd w/association is closed or referenced device is destroyed

Associating a fd with a device for polling limits the use of other
ioctls besides VERSION, using that fd. There is no mechanism to query
associations, userspace must track this itself.
