Subject: [PATCH v6 00/10] fsmonitor: implement filesystem change listener for Linux

From: "Paul Tarjan via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 20:17:06 +0000

This series implements the built-in fsmonitor daemon for Linux using the
inotify API, bringing it to feature parity with the existing Windows and
macOS implementations. It also fixes two memory leaks in the
platform-independent daemon code and deduplicates the IPC and settings logic
that is now shared between macOS and Linux.

The implementation uses inotify rather than fanotify because fanotify
requires either CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_PERFMON capabilities, making it
unsuitable for an unprivileged user-space daemon. While inotify has the
limitation of requiring a separate watch on every directory (unlike macOS
FSEvents, which can monitor an entire directory tree with a single watch),
it operates without elevated privileges and provides the per-file event
granularity needed for fsmonitor.

The listener uses inotify_init1(O_NONBLOCK) with a poll loop that checks for
events with a 50-millisecond timeout, keeping the inotify queue well-drained
to minimize the risk of overflows. Bidirectional hashmaps map between watch
descriptors and directory paths for efficient event resolution. Directory
renames are tracked using inotify cookie mechanism to correlate
IN_MOVED_FROM and IN_MOVED_TO event pairs; a periodic check detects stale
renames where the matching IN_MOVED_TO never arrived, forcing a resync.

New directory creation triggers recursive watch registration to ensure all
subdirectories are monitored. The IN_MASK_CREATE flag is used where
available to prevent modifying existing watches, with a fallback for older
kernels. When IN_MASK_CREATE is available and inotify_add_watch returns
EEXIST, it means another thread or recursive scan has already registered the
watch, so it is safe to ignore.

Remote filesystem detection uses statfs() to identify network-mounted
filesystems (NFS, CIFS, SMB, FUSE, etc.) via their magic numbers. Mount
point information is read from /proc/mounts and matched against the statfs
f_fsid to get accurate, human-readable filesystem type names for logging.
When the .git directory is on a remote filesystem, the IPC socket falls back
to $HOME or a user-configured directory via the fsmonitor.socketDir setting.

This series builds on work from https://github.com/git/git/pull/1352 by Eric
DeCosta and https://github.com/git/git/pull/1667 by Marziyeh Esipreh,
updated to work with the current codebase and address all review feedback.

Changes since v5:

 * Split monolithic commit into 10-patch series per Patrick's review
 * Deduplicated fsm-ipc and fsm-settings into shared Unix implementations
 * Rewrote commit message with prose paragraphs, explain inotify vs
   fanotify, removed "Issues addressed" sections, added Based-on-patch-by
   trailers
 * Removed redundant includes already provided by compat/posix.h
 * Fixed error/trace message capitalization per coding guidelines
 * Fixed stale rename check interval from 1000 seconds to 1 second
 * Changed poll timeout from 1ms to 50ms to reduce idle CPU wake-ups
 * Replaced infinite pthread_cond_wait cookie loop with one-second
   pthread_cond_timedwait (prevents daemon hangs on overlay filesystems
   where events are never delivered)
 * Added pthread_cond_timedwait to Windows pthread compatibility layer
 * Separated test into its own commit with smoke test that skips when
   inotify events are not delivered (e.g., overlayfs with older kernels)
 * Fixed test hang on Fedora CI: stop_git() looped forever when ps was
   unavailable because bash in POSIX/sh mode returns exit 0 from kill with
   an empty process group argument. Fixed by falling back to /proc/$pid/stat
   for process group ID and guarding stop_git against empty pgid.
 * Redirect spawn_daemon() stdout/stderr to /dev/null and close inherited
   file descriptors to prevent the intermediate process from holding test
   pipe file descriptors
 * Call setsid() on daemon detach to prevent shells with job control from
   waiting on the daemon process group
 * Close inherited file descriptors 3-7 in the test watchdog subprocess
 * Added 30-second timeout to "fsmonitor--daemon stop" to prevent indefinite
   blocking
 * Added helpful error message when inotify watch limit (max_user_watches)
   is reached
 * Initialize fd_inotify to -1 and use fd >= 0 check for correct fd 0
   handling
 * Use sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX) instead of hardcoded 1024 for fd close limit
 * Check setsid() return value

Changes since v4:

 * Added Meson build support

Changes since v3:

 * Fix crash on rapid nested directory creation (EEXIST from
   inotify_add_watch with IN_MASK_CREATE)
 * Extensive stress testing

Changes since v2:

 * Fix khash memory leak in do_handle_client

Changes since v1:

 * Fix hashmap memory leak in fsmonitor_run_daemon()

     -    Key implementation details:
     -    - Uses inotify_init1(O_NONBLOCK) for non-blocking event monitoring
     -    - Maintains bidirectional hashmaps between watch descriptors and paths
     -      for efficient event processing
     -    - Handles directory creation, deletion, and renames dynamically
     -    - Detects remote filesystems (NFS, CIFS, SMB, etc.) via statfs()
     -    - Falls back to $HOME/.git-fsmonitor-* for socket when .git is remote
     +    The listener uses inotify_init1(O_NONBLOCK) with a poll loop that

     -    Build configuration:
     -    - Enabled via FSMONITOR_DAEMON_BACKEND=linux and FSMONITOR_OS_SETTINGS=linux
     -    - Requires NO_PTHREADS and NO_UNIX_SOCKETS to be unset
     -    - Adds HAVE_LINUX_MAGIC_H for filesystem type detection
     +    New directory creation triggers recursive watch registration to ensure
     +    all subdirectories are monitored.  The IN_MASK_CREATE flag is used
     +    where available to prevent modifying existing watches, with a fallback
     +    for older kernels.  When IN_MASK_CREATE is available and
     +    inotify_add_watch returns EEXIST, it means another thread or recursive
     +    scan has already registered the watch, so it is safe to ignore.
      
     -    Documentation updated to note that fsmonitor.socketDir is now supported
     -    on both Mac OS and Linux, and adds a section about inotify watch limits.
     -
     -    Issues addressed from PR #1352 (git/git) review comments:
     -    - GPLv3 ME_REMOTE macro: Rewrote remote filesystem detection from
     -      scratch using statfs() and linux/magic.h constants (no GPLv3 code)
     -    - Memory leak on inotify_init1 failure: Added FREE_AND_NULL cleanup
     -    - Unsafe hashmap iteration in dtor: Collect entries first, then modify
     -    - Missing null checks in stop_async: Added proper guard conditions
     -    - dirname() modifying argument: Create copy with xstrdup() first
     -    - Non-portable f_fsid.__val: Use memcmp() for fsid comparison
     -    - Missing worktree null check: Added BUG() for null worktree
     -    - Header updates: Use git-compat-util.h, hash_to_hex_algop()
     -    - Code style: Use xstrdup() not xmemdupz(), proper pointer style
     -
     -    Issues addressed from PR #1667 (git/git) review comments:
     -    - EINTR handling: read() now handles both EAGAIN and EINTR
     -    - Trailing pipe in log_mask_set: Added strbuf_strip_suffix()
     -    - Unchecked add_watch return: Now logs failure in rename_dir()
     -    - String building: Consolidated strbuf operations with strbuf_addf()
     -    - Translation markers: Added _() to all error_errno() messages
