    GFS2: Send useful information with uevent messages · 9a776db7
    Steven Whitehouse authored
    In order to distinguish between two differing uevent messages
    and to avoid using the (racy) method of reading status from
    sysfs in future, this adds some status information to our
    uevent messages.
    
    Btw, before anybody says "sysfs isn't racy", I'm aware of that,
    but the way that GFS2 was using it (send an ambiugous uevent and
    then expect the receiver to read sysfs to find out the status
    of the reported operation) was.
    
    The additional benefit of using the new interface is that it
    should be possible for a node to recover multiple journals
    at the same time, since there is no longer any confusion as
    to which journal the status belongs to.
    
    At some future stage, when all the userland programs have been
    converted, I intend to remove the old interface.
