From 4006553b06306b34054529477b06b68a1c66249b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ulrich Drepper Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2008 21:29:32 -0700 Subject: flag parameters: inotify_init This patch introduces the new syscall inotify_init1 (note: the 1 stands for the one parameter the syscall takes, as opposed to no parameter before). The values accepted for this parameter are function-specific and defined in the inotify.h header. Here the values must match the O_* flags, though. In this patch CLOEXEC support is introduced. The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #include #include #include #include #ifndef __NR_inotify_init1 # ifdef __x86_64__ # define __NR_inotify_init1 294 # elif defined __i386__ # define __NR_inotify_init1 332 # else # error "need __NR_inotify_init1" # endif #endif #define IN_CLOEXEC O_CLOEXEC int main (void) { int fd; fd = syscall (__NR_inotify_init1, 0); if (fd == -1) { puts ("inotify_init1(0) failed"); return 1; } int coe = fcntl (fd, F_GETFD); if (coe == -1) { puts ("fcntl failed"); return 1; } if (coe & FD_CLOEXEC) { puts ("inotify_init1(0) set close-on-exit"); return 1; } close (fd); fd = syscall (__NR_inotify_init1, IN_CLOEXEC); if (fd == -1) { puts ("inotify_init1(IN_CLOEXEC) failed"); return 1; } coe = fcntl (fd, F_GETFD); if (coe == -1) { puts ("fcntl failed"); return 1; } if ((coe & FD_CLOEXEC) == 0) { puts ("inotify_init1(O_CLOEXEC) does not set close-on-exit"); return 1; } close (fd); puts ("OK"); return 0; } ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [akpm@linux-foundation.org: add sys_ni stub] Signed-off-by: Ulrich Drepper Acked-by: Davide Libenzi Cc: Michael Kerrisk Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- include/linux/inotify.h | 5 +++++ include/linux/syscalls.h | 1 + 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+) (limited to 'include/linux') diff --git a/include/linux/inotify.h b/include/linux/inotify.h index 742b917e7d1..72ef8212051 100644 --- a/include/linux/inotify.h +++ b/include/linux/inotify.h @@ -7,6 +7,8 @@ #ifndef _LINUX_INOTIFY_H #define _LINUX_INOTIFY_H +/* For O_CLOEXEC */ +#include #include /* @@ -63,6 +65,9 @@ struct inotify_event { IN_MOVED_TO | IN_DELETE | IN_CREATE | IN_DELETE_SELF | \ IN_MOVE_SELF) +/* Flags for sys_inotify_init1. */ +#define IN_CLOEXEC O_CLOEXEC + #ifdef __KERNEL__ #include diff --git a/include/linux/syscalls.h b/include/linux/syscalls.h index 034d3358549..93a7e7f017a 100644 --- a/include/linux/syscalls.h +++ b/include/linux/syscalls.h @@ -547,6 +547,7 @@ asmlinkage long sys_get_mempolicy(int __user *policy, unsigned long addr, unsigned long flags); asmlinkage long sys_inotify_init(void); +asmlinkage long sys_inotify_init1(int flags); asmlinkage long sys_inotify_add_watch(int fd, const char __user *path, u32 mask); asmlinkage long sys_inotify_rm_watch(int fd, u32 wd); -- cgit v1.2.3
