fs: add fcntl() interface for setting/getting write life time hints
We have a pwritev2(2) interface based on passing in flags. Add an
fcntl interface for querying these flags, and also for setting them
as well:
F_GET_RW_HINT Returns the read/write hint set. Right now it
will be one of the WRITE_LIFE_* values.
F_SET_RW_HINT Pass in rw_hint type to set the read/write hint.
Only WRITE_LIFE_* hints are currently supported.
Returns 0 on succes, -1 otherwise.
Sample program testing/implementing basic setting/getting of write
hints is below.
/*
* writehint.c: check or set a file/inode write hint
*/
static char *str[] = { "WRITE_LIFE_NONE", "WRITE_LIFE_SHORT",
"WRITE_LIFE_MEDIUM", "WRITE_LIFE_LONG",
"WRITE_LIFE_EXTREME" };
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int hint = -1, fd, ret;
if (argc < 2) {
fprintf(stderr, "%s: dev <hint>\n", argv[0]);
return 1;
}
fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY);
if (fd < 0) {
perror("open");
return 2;
}
if (argc > 2)
hint = atoi(argv[2]);
if (hint == -1) {
ret = fcntl(fd, F_GET_RW_HINT);
if (ret < 0) {
perror("fcntl: F_GET_RW_HINT");
return 3;
}
hint = ret;
} else {
ret = fcntl(fd, F_SET_RW_HINT, hint);
if (ret < 0) {
perror("fcntl: F_SET_RW_HINT");
return 4;
}
}
printf("%s: %shint %s\n", argv[1], hint != -1 ? "set " : "", str[hint]);
close(fd);
return 0;
}
