virtiofs: emit uevents on filesystem events
Alyssa Ross <hi@alyssa.is> requested that virtiofs notifies userspace
when filesytems become available. This can be used to detect when a
filesystem with a given tag is hotplugged, for example. uevents allow
userspace to detect changes without resorting to polling.
The tag is included as a uevent property so it's easy for userspace to
identify the filesystem in question even when the sysfs directory goes
away during removal.
Here are example uevents:
# udevadm monitor -k -p
KERNEL[111.113221] add /fs/virtiofs/2 (virtiofs)
ACTION=add
DEVPATH=/fs/virtiofs/2
SUBSYSTEM=virtiofs
TAG=test
KERNEL[165.527167] remove /fs/virtiofs/2 (virtiofs)
ACTION=remove
DEVPATH=/fs/virtiofs/2
SUBSYSTEM=virtiofs
TAG=test
