btrfs-ioctl(2) ============== NAME ---- btrfs-ioctl - documentation for the ioctl interface to btrfs DESCRIPTION ----------- The ioctl() system call is a way how to request custom actions performed on a filesystem beyond the standard interfaces (like syscalls). An ioctl is specified by a number and an associated data structure that implement a feature, usually not available in other filesystems. The number of ioctls grows over time and in some cases get promoted to a VFS-level ioctl once other filesystems adopt the functionality. Backward compatibility is maintained and a formerly private ioctl number could become available on the VFS level.

All ioctls use file descriptor (fd) as a reference point, it could be the filesystem or a directory inside the filesystem. An ioctl can be used in the following schematic way: .. code-block:: c struct btrfs_ioctl_args args; memset(&args, 0, sizeof(args)); args.key = value; ret = ioctl(fd, BTRFS_IOC_NUMBER, &args); The 'fd' is the entry point to the filesystem and for most ioctls it does not matter which file or directory is that. Where it matters it's explicitly mentioned. The 'args' is the associated data structure for the request. It's strongly recommended to initialize the whole structure to zeros as this is future-proof when the ioctl gets further extensions. Not doing that could lead to mismatch of old userspace and new kernel versions, or vice versa. The 'BTRFS_IOC_NUMBER' is says which operation should be done on the given arguments. Some ioctls take a specific data structure, some of them share a common one, no argument structure ioctls exist too. The library *libbtrfsutil* wraps a few ioctls for convenience. Using raw ioctls is not discouraged but may be cumbersome though it does not need additional library dependency. Backward compatibility is guaranteed and incompatible changes usually lead to a new version of the ioctl. Enhancements of existing ioctls can happen and depend on additional flags to be set. Zeroed unused space is commonly understood as a mechanism to communicate the compatibility between kernel and userspace and thus *zeroing is really important*. In exceptional cases this is not enough and further flags need to be passed to distinguish between zero as implicit unused initialization and a valid zero value. Such cases are documented. File descriptors of regular files are obtained by ``int fd = open()``, directories opened as ``DIR *dir = opendir()`` can be converted to the corresponding file descriptor by ``fd = dirfd(dir)``.

This operates on the control device, not files from a mounted filesystem. Can be safely called repeatedly with same device path. .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 * - Field - Description * - ioctl fd - file descriptor of the control device :file:`/dev/btrfs-control` * - ioctl args - :ref:`struct btrfs_ioctl_vol_args` * - args.fd - ignored * - args.name - full path of the device .. _BTRFS_IOC_SYNC: BTRFS_IOC_SYNC ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sync the filesystem data as would ``sync()`` syscall do, additionally wake up the internal transaction thread that may trigger actions like subvolume cleaning or queued defragmentation. .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 * - Field - Description * - ioctl fd - file descriptor of any file or directory in the filesystem * - ioctl args - NULL .. _BTRFS_IOC_ADD_DEV: BTRFS_IOC_ADD_DEV ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Add a given block device to the filesystem. Unlike the command :command:`btrfs device add` there's are no safety checks (like existence of another filesystem on the device), device preparataion (like TRIM or zone reset), so use it with care. This is a filesystem-exclusive operation and it will fail if there's another one already running, with one exception, when there's a paused balance. Required permissions: CAP_SYS_ADMIN .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 * - Field - Description * - ioctl fd - file descriptor of any file or directory in the filesystem * - ioctl args - :ref:`struct btrfs_ioctl_vol_args` * - args.fd - ignored * - args.name - full path of the block device to be added .. _BTRFS_IOC_RM_DEV: BTRFS_IOC_RM_DEV ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Remove a device from the filesystem specified by it's path, or cancel a running device deletion by special path ``cancel``.

The size of the path name buffer is shorter than *PATH_MAX* (4096), it's possible that the path is trimmed due to that. Also implemented by :ref:`btrfs inspect-internal rootid`. The general case needs CAP_SYS_ADMIN and can resolve any file to its path. The special case for reading the containing subvolume is not restricted: .. code-block:: c struct btrfs_ioctl_ino_lookup_args args; fd = open("file", ...); args.treeid = 0; args.objectid = BTRFS_FIRST_FREE_OBJECTID; ioctl(fd, BTRFS_IOC_INO_LOOKUP, &args); /* args.treeid now contains the subvolume id */ .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 * - Field - Description * - ioctl fd - file descriptor of the file or directory to lookup the subvolumeid * - ioctl args - :ref:`struct btrfs_ioctl_ino_lookup_args` * - args.treeid - subvolume id against which the path should be resolved (needs CAP_SYS_ADMIN), or 0 so the subvolume containing *fd* will be used * - args.objectid - inode number to lookup, *INODE_REF_KEY* with that key.objectid, or :ref:`BTRFS_FIRST_FREE_OBJECTID` as special case to read only the tree id and clear the *args.name* buffer * - args.name - path relative to the toplevel subvolume, or empty string .. _BTRFS_IOC_DEFAULT_SUBVOL: BTRFS_IOC_DEFAULT_SUBVOL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Set the given subvolume id as the default one when mounting the filesystem without `subvol=path` or `subvolid=id` options. .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 * - Field - Description * - ioctl fd - file descriptor of the directory inside which to create the new snapshot * - ioctl args - numeric value of subvolume to become default (uint64_t) .. _BTRFS_IOC_SNAP_CREATE_V2: BTRFS_IOC_SNAP_CREATE_V2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Create a snapshot of a subvolume. .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 * - Field - Description * - ioctl fd - file descriptor of the directory inside which to create the new snapshot * - ioctl args - :ref:`struct btrfs_ioctl_vol_args_v2` * - args.fd - file descriptor of any directory inside the subvolume to snapshot, must be on the filesystem * - args.transid - ignored * - args.flags - any subset of `BTRFS_SUBVOL_RDONLY` to make the new snapshot read-only, or `BTRFS_SUBVOL_QGROUP_INHERIT` to apply the `qgroup_inherit` field * - args.name - the name, under the ioctl fd, for the new subvolume .. _BTRFS_IOC_SUBVOL_CREATE_V2: BTRFS_IOC_SUBVOL_CREATE_V2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *(since: 3.6)* Create a subvolume, qgroup inheritance and limits can be specified. .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 * - Field - Description * - ioctl fd - file descriptor of the parent directory of the new subvolume * - ioctl args - :ref:`struct btrfs_ioctl_vol_args_v2` * - args.fd - ignored * - args.transid - ignored * - args.flags - flags to set on the subvolume, ``BTRFS_SUBVOL_RDONLY`` for readonly, ``BTRFS_SUBVOL_QGROUP_INHERIT`` if the qgroup related fileds should be processed * - args.size - number of entries in ``args.qgroup_inherit`` * - args.qgroup_inherit - inherit the given qgroups (:ref:`struct btrfs_qgroup_inherit`) and limits (:ref:`struct btrfs_qgroup_limit`) * - name - name of the subvolume, although the buffer can be almost 4KiB, the file size is limited by Linux VFS to 255 characters and must not contain a slash ('/') .. _BTRFS_IOC_SUBVOL_GETFLAGS: BTRFS_IOC_SUBVOL_GETFLAGS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Read the flags of a subvolume. The returned flags are either 0 or `BTRFS_SUBVOL_RDONLY`. .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 * - Field - Description * - ioctl fd - file descriptor of the subvolume to examine * - ioctl args - uint64_t .. _BTRFS_IOC_SUBVOL_SETFLAGS: BTRFS_IOC_SUBVOL_SETFLAGS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Change the flags of a subvolume. .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 * - Field - Description * - ioctl fd - file descriptor of the subvolume to modify * - ioctl args - uint64_t, either 0 or `BTRFS_SUBVOL_RDONLY` .. _BTRFS_IOC_GET_FSLABEL: BTRFS_IOC_GET_FSLABEL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Read the label of the filesystem into a given buffer. Alternatively it can be read from :file:`/sys/fs/btrfs/FSID/label` though it requires to know the FSID of the filesystem. .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 * - Field - Description * - ioctl fd - file descriptor of any file/directory in the filesystem * - ioctl args - char buffer[:ref:`BTRFS_LABEL_SIZE`] .. _BTRFS_IOC_SET_FSLABEL: BTRFS_IOC_SET_FSLABEL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Set the label of filesystem from given buffer. The maximum length also accounts for terminating NUL character. Alternatively it can be also set by writing to :file:`/sys/fs/btrfs/FSID/label` though it requires to know the FSID of the filesystem (and an explicit commit before the change is permanent). Required permissions: CAP_SYS_ADMIN .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 * - Field - Description * - ioctl fd - file descriptor of any file/directory in the filesystem * - ioctl args - char buffer[:ref:`BTRFS_LABEL_SIZE`] .. _BTRFS_IOC_FS_INFO: BTRFS_IOC_FS_INFO ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Read internal information about the filesystem.
