FUSE: Notifying the kernel of deletion.
fuse: support ioctl on directories
fuse: Use kcalloc instead of kzalloc to allocate array
fuse: llseek optimize SEEK_CUR and SEEK_SET
Allows a FUSE file-system to tell the kernel when a file or directory is
deleted. If the specified dentry has the specified inode number, the kernel will
unhash it.
The current 'fuse_notify_inval_entry' does not cause the kernel to clean up
directories that are in use properly, and as a result the users of those
directories see incorrect semantics from the file-system. The error condition
seen when 'fuse_notify_inval_entry' is used to notify of a deleted directory is
avoided when 'fuse_notify_delete' is used instead.
The following scenario demonstrates the difference:
1. User A chdirs into 'testdir' and starts reading 'testfile'.
2. User B rm -rf 'testdir'.
3. User B creates 'testdir'.
4. User C chdirs into 'testdir'.
If you run the above within the same machine on any file-system (including fuse
file-systems), there is no problem: user C is able to chdir into the new
testdir. The old testdir is removed from the dentry tree, but still open by user
A.
If operations 2 and 3 are performed via the network such that the fuse
file-system uses one of the notify functions to tell the kernel that the nodes
are gone, then the following error occurs for user C while user A holds the
original directory open:
muirj@empacher:~> ls /test/testdir
ls: cannot access /test/testdir: No such file or directory
The issue here is that the kernel still has a dentry for testdir, and so it is
requesting the attributes for the old directory, while the file-system is
responding that the directory no longer exists.
If on the other hand, if the file-system can notify the kernel that the
directory is deleted using the new 'fuse_notify_delete' function, then the above
ls will find the new directory as expected.

fuse: check size of FUSE_NOTIFY_INVAL_ENTRY message
fuse: mark pages accessed when written to
fuse: delete dead .write_begin and .write_end aops
fuse: fix flock
fuse: fix non-ANSI void function notation
Commit a9ff4f87 "fuse: support BSD locking semantics" overlooked a
number of issues with supporing flock locks over existing POSIX
locking infrastructure:
- it's not backward compatible, passing flock(2) calls to userspace
unconditionally (if userspace sets FUSE_POSIX_LOCKS)
- it doesn't cater for the fact that flock locks are automatically
unlocked on file release
- it doesn't take into account the fact that flock exclusive locks
(write locks) don't need an fd opened for write.
The last one invalidates the original premise of the patch that flock
locks can be emulated with POSIX locks.
This patch fixes the first two issues. The last one needs to be fixed
in userspace if the filesystem assumed that a write lock will happen
only on a file operned for write (as in the case of the current fuse
library).

Terje Malmedal reports that a fuse filesystem with 32 million inodes
on a machine with lots of memory can take up to 30 minutes to process
FORGET requests when all those inodes are evicted from the icache.
To solve this, create a BATCH_FORGET request that allows up to about
8000 FORGET requests to be sent in a single message.
This request is only sent if userspace supports interface version 7.16
or later, otherwise fall back to sending individual FORGET messages.

Terje Malmedal reports that a fuse filesystem with 32 million inodes
on a machine with lots of memory can go unresponsive for up to 30
minutes when all those inodes are evicted from the icache.
The reason is that FORGET messages, sent when the inode is evicted,
are queued up together with regular filesystem requests, and while the
huge queue of FORGET messages are processed no other filesystem
operation can proceed.
Since a full fuse request structure is allocated for each inode, these
take up quite a bit of memory as well.
To solve these issues, create a slim 'fuse_forget_link' structure
containing just the minimum of information required to send the FORGET
request and chain these on a separate queue.
When userspace is asking for a request make sure that FORGET and
non-FORGET requests are selected fairly: for each 8 non-FORGET allow
16 FORGET requests. This will make sure FORGETs do not pile up, yet
other requests are also allowed to proceed while the queued FORGETs
are processed.

Userspace filesystem can request data to be retrieved from the inode's

as a new request. If the write to the fuse device returns an error
then the retrieve request was not completed and a reply will not be

Only present pages are returned in the retrieve reply. Retrieving
stops when it finds a non-present page and only data prior to that is
returned.

mm: export generic_pipe_buf_*() to modules
fuse: support splice() reading from fuse device
fuse: allow splice to move pages
mm: export remove_from_page_cache() to modules
mm: export lru_cache_add_*() to modules
fuse: support splice() writing to fuse device
fuse: get page reference for readpages
fuse: use get_user_pages_fast()
fuse: remove unneeded variable
When splicing buffers to the fuse device with SPLICE_F_MOVE, try to
move pages from the pipe buffer into the page cache. This allows
populating the fuse filesystem's cache without ever touching the page
contents, i.e. zero copy read capability.
The following steps are performed when trying to move a page into the
page cache:
- buf->ops->confirm() to make sure the new page is uptodate
- buf->ops->steal() to try to remove the new page from it's previous place
- remove_from_page_cache() on the old page
- add_to_page_cache_locked() on the new page
If any of the above steps fail (non fatally) then the code falls back
to copying the page. In particular ->steal() will fail if there are
external references (other than the page cache and the pipe buffer) to
the page.
Also since the remove_from_page_cache() + add_to_page_cache_locked()
are non-atomic it is possible that the page cache is repopulated in
between the two and add_to_page_cache_locked() will fail. This could
be fixed by creating a new atomic replace_page_cache_page() function.
fuse_readpages_end() needed to be reworked so it works even if
page->mapping is NULL for some or all pages which can happen if the
add_to_page_cache_locked() failed.
A number of sanity checks were added to make sure the stolen pages
don't have weird flags set, etc... These could be moved into generic
splice/steal code.

Implement export_operations, to allow fuse filesystems to be exported to
NFS. This feature has been in the out-of-tree fuse module, and is widely
used and tested.
It has not been originally merged into mainline, because doing the NFS
export in userspace was thought to be a cleaner and more efficient way of
doing it, than through the kernel.
While that is true, it would also have involved a lot of duplicated effort
at reimplementing NFS exporting (all the different versions of the
protocol). This effort was unfortunately not undertaken by anyone, so we
are left with doing it the easy but less efficient way.
If this feature goes in, the out-of-tree fuse module can go away,
which would have several advantages:
- not having to maintain two versions
- less confusion for users
- no bugs due to kernel API changes

- Use the same fh_type values as XFS, since we use the same fh encoding.

Quoting Linus (3 years ago, FUSE inclusion discussions):
"User-space filesystems are hard to get right. I'd claim that they
are almost impossible, unless you limit them somehow (shared
writable mappings are the nastiest part - if you don't have those,
you can reasonably limit your problems by limiting the number of
dirty pages you accept through normal "write()" calls)."
Instead of attempting the impossible, I've just waited for the dirty page
accounting infrastructure to materialize (thanks to Peter Zijlstra and
others). This nicely solved the biggest problem: limiting the number of pages
used for write caching.
Some small details remained, however, which this largish patch attempts to
address. It provides a page writeback implementation for fuse, which is
completely safe against VM related deadlocks. Performance may not be very
good for certain usage patterns, but generally it should be acceptable.
It has been tested extensively with fsx-linux and bash-shared-mapping.
Fuse page writeback design
--------------------------
fuse_writepage() allocates a new temporary page with GFP_NOFS|__GFP_HIGHMEM.
It copies the contents of the original page, and queues a WRITE request to the
userspace filesystem using this temp page.
The writeback is finished instantly from the MM's point of view: the page is
removed from the radix trees, and the PageDirty and PageWriteback flags are
cleared.
For the duration of the actual write, the NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP counter is
incremented. The per-bdi writeback count is not decremented until the actual
write completes.
On dirtying the page, fuse waits for a previous write to finish before
proceeding. This makes sure, there can only be one temporary page used at a
time for one cached page.
This approach is wasteful in both memory and CPU bandwidth, so why is this
complication needed?
The basic problem is that there can be no guarantee about the time in which
the userspace filesystem will complete a write. It may be buggy or even
malicious, and fail to complete WRITE requests. We don't want unrelated parts
of the system to grind to a halt in such cases.
Also a filesystem may need additional resources (particularly memory) to
complete a WRITE request. There's a great danger of a deadlock if that
allocation may wait for the writepage to finish.
Currently there are several cases where the kernel can block on page
writeback:
- allocation order is larger than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER
- page migration
- throttle_vm_writeout (through NR_WRITEBACK)
- sync(2)
Of course in some cases (fsync, msync) we explicitly want to allow blocking.
So for these cases new code has to be added to fuse, since the VM is not
tracking writeback pages for us any more.
As an extra safetly measure, the maximum dirty ratio allocated to a single
fuse filesystem is set to 1% by default. This way one (or several) buggy or
malicious fuse filesystems cannot slow down the rest of the system by hogging
dirty memory.
With appropriate privileges, this limit can be raised through
'/sys/class/bdi/<bdi>/max_ratio'.

Libfuse basically creates a new thread for each new request. This is fine for
synchronous requests, which are naturally limited. However background
requests (especially writepage) can cause a thread creation storm.
To avoid this, limit the number of background requests available to userspace.

counter for the number of "active" requests, which are currently available for
