uapi: General notification queue definitions
[ Upstream commit 0858caa4 ] Add UAPI definitions for the general notification queue, including the following pieces: (*) struct watch_notification. This is the metadata header for notification messages. It includes a type and subtype that indicate the source of the message (eg. WATCH_TYPE_MOUNT_NOTIFY) and the kind of the message (eg. NOTIFY_MOUNT_NEW_MOUNT). The header also contains an information field that conveys the following information: - WATCH_INFO_LENGTH. The size of the entry (entries are variable length). - WATCH_INFO_ID. The watch ID specified when the watchpoint was set. - WATCH_INFO_TYPE_INFO. (Sub)type-specific information. - WATCH_INFO_FLAG_*. Flag bits overlain on the type-specific information. For use by the type. All the information in the header can be used in filtering messages at the point of writing into the buffer. (*) struct watch_notification_removal This is an extended watch-removal notification record that includes an 'id' field that can indicate the identifier of the object being removed if available (for instance, a keyring serial number).
