Hi,
Attached is a simple diff adding support for "pending entries" to
fileassoc(9). Pending entries are entries for files that do not
necessarily exist yet, or in other words, live on file-systems that
are not mounted.
There are several reasons why this pesudo-persistent meta-data storage
support is helpful; one is that Veriexec can be made to load
fingerprints before any file-systems are mounted, rather than after all
of them are.
The implementation is very simple: the fileassoc(9) KPI gets a new
function, fileassoc_add_pending(), that takes filename, fileassoc_id,
and data to attach. It adds an entry to a list that's traversed each
time a new file-system is mounted.
Until there's a proper event notification system, there's a simple
hook called fileassoc_mount_notify() to let fileassoc(9) know a new
file-system was mounted.
This has been manually tested with Veriexec.
Veriexec support will come later, probably in the form of a new keyword
in the config file, allowing entries to be loaded as "pending" if they
don't exist.
Comments? :)
