Alyssa Ross <hi@alyssa.is> requested that virtiofs notifies userspace when filesytems become available. This can be used to detect when a filesystem with a given tag is hotplugged, for example. uevents allow userspace to detect changes without resorting to polling. The tag is included as a uevent property so it's easy for userspace to identify the filesystem in question even when the sysfs directory goes away during removal. Here are example uevents: # udevadm monitor -k -p KERNEL[111.113221] add /fs/virtiofs/2 (virtiofs) ACTION=add DEVPATH=/fs/virtiofs/2 SUBSYSTEM=virtiofs TAG=test KERNEL[165.527167] remove /fs/virtiofs/2 (virtiofs) ACTION=remove DEVPATH=/fs/virtiofs/2 SUBSYSTEM=virtiofs TAG=test Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
