Warning: This is an experimental kernel modification.
HymoFS is a kernel patch designed to inject virtual entries into directory listings by modifying the getdents system call.
- System Instability: Modifying core filesystem syscalls is highly intrusive and may lead to kernel panics or system freezes.
- Performance Impact: The injection logic adds overhead to every directory read operation, potentially degrading I/O performance.
- Compatibility Issues: This patch may conflict with other filesystem modifications or security modules.
- Data Integrity: While intended to be read-only injection, bugs in the implementation could theoretically affect filesystem stability.
This patch is intended for developers and advanced users who understand the risks involved in kernel-level modifications.
