[$] Retrieving kernel attributes

Post Syndicated from original https://lwn.net/Articles/897420/

At the
2022 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory-management and BPF Summit
(LSFMM), Amir Goldstein
and Miklos Szeredi led a discussion on a new interface for extracting
information from kernel objects using the filesystem extended-attributes
(xattr) interface. Since Szeredi was not present in Palm Springs, he co-led
the session virtually over Zoom audio, which was the only
filesystem session with a virtual leader at LSFMM this year. Szeredi’s proposal
for an interface of that sort had been posted just the day before the session.
