A commonly used SMB3 feature is change notification, allowing an
app to be notified about changes to a directory. The SMB3
Notify request blocks until the server detects a change to that
directory or its contents that matches the completion flags
that were passed in and the "watch_tree" flag (which indicates
whether subdirectories under this directory should be also
included). See MS-SMB2 2.2.35 for additional detail.
To use this simply pass in the following structure to ioctl:
struct __attribute__((__packed__)) smb3_notify {
uint32_t completion_filter;
bool watch_tree;
} __packed;
using CIFS_IOC_NOTIFY 0x4005cf09
or equivalently _IOW(CIFS_IOCTL_MAGIC, 9, struct smb3_notify)
SMB3 change notification is supported by all major servers.
The ioctl will block until the server detects a change to that
directory or its subdirectories (if watch_tree is set).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
