Hi,
i'm maintaining a kernel patch which is monitoring file system activity underneath a special directory tree and reporting occuring events via a character device to userland where it is processed. Right now, this patch works via a number of hooks in fs/read-write.c and fs/namei.c. This is not really efficient at the moment because this way I get an event for any written block and not per file which can slow things down a lot. A couple of days ago I heard rumours about a new feature in 2.6.10 which will be exactly for this kind of purpose. Some kind of monitor frameworks that can generate events for all sorts of things. Sorry, I don't know any more about it. Is that true? Would that be suitable for my task? And where can I get information about it?
Greetings...
