2011-12-13FUSE: Notifying the kernel of deletion.John Muir1-0/+9
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.

2011-08-08fuse: fix flockMiklos Szeredi1-1/+8
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).

2010-12-07fuse: allow batching of FORGET requestsMiklos Szeredi1-1/+15
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.

2010-07-12fuse: add retrieve requestMiklos Szeredi1-0/+21
Userspace filesystem can request data to be retrieved from the inode's mapping. This request is synchronous and the retrieved data is queued 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 sent. 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. This request doesn't change the dirty state of pages. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>
2010-07-12fuse: add store requestMiklos Szeredi1-1/+12
Userspace filesystem can request data to be stored in the inode's mapping. This request is synchronous and has no reply. If the write to the fuse device returns an error then the store request was not fully completed (but may have updated some pages). If the stored data overflows the current file size, then the size is extended, similarly to a write(2) on the filesystem. Pages which have been completely stored are marked uptodate. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>
2010-05-25fuse: support splice() writing to fuse deviceMiklos Szeredi1-1/+4
Allow userspace filesystem implementation to use splice() to write to the fuse device. The semantics of using splice() are: 1) buffer the message header and data in a temporary pipe 2) with a *single* splice() call move the message from the temporary pipe to the fuse device The READ reply message has the most interesting use for this, since now the data from an arbitrary file descriptor (which could be a regular file, a block device or a socket) can be tranferred into the fuse device without having to go through a userspace buffer. It will also allow zero copy moving of pages. One caveat is that the protocol on the fuse device requires the length of the whole message to be written into the header. But the length of the data transferred into the temporary pipe may not be known in advance. The current library implementation works around this by using vmplice to write the header and modifying the header after splicing the data into the pipe (error handling omitted): struct fuse_out_header out; iov.iov_base = &out; iov.iov_len = sizeof(struct fuse_out_header); vmsplice(pip[1], &iov, 1, 0); len = splice(input_fd, input_offset, pip[1], NULL, len, 0); /* retrospectively modify the header: */ out.len = len + sizeof(struct fuse_out_header); splice(pip[0], NULL, fuse_chan_fd(req->ch), NULL, out.len, flags); This works since vmsplice only saves a pointer to the data, it does not copy the data itself. Since pipes are currently limited to 16 pages and messages need to be spliced atomically, the length of the data is limited to 15 pages (or 60kB for 4k pages).

2009-06-30fuse: invalidation reverse callsJohn Muir1-0/+16
Add notification messages that allow the filesystem to invalidate VFS caches. Two notifications are added: 1) inode invalidation - invalidate cached attributes - invalidate a range of pages in the page cache (this is optional) 2) dentry invalidation - try to invalidate a subtree in the dentry cache Care must be taken while accessing the 'struct super_block' for the mount, as it can go away while an invalidation is in progress. To prevent this, introduce a rw-semaphore, that is taken for read during the invalidation and taken for write in the ->kill_sb callback.

2009-06-30fuse: allow umask processing in userspaceMiklos Szeredi1-2/+18
This patch lets filesystems handle masking the file mode on creation. This is needed if filesystem is using ACLs. - The CREATE, MKDIR and MKNOD requests are extended with a "umask" parameter. - A new FUSE_DONT_MASK flag is added to the INIT request/reply. With this the filesystem may request that the create mode is not masked. CC: Jean-Pierre André <jean-pierre.andre@wanadoo.fr> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>
2009-06-09CUSE: implement CUSE - Character device in UserspaceTejun Heo1-0/+31
CUSE enables implementing character devices in userspace. With recent additions of ioctl and poll support, FUSE already has most of what's necessary to implement character devices. All CUSE has to do is bonding all those components - FUSE, chardev and the driver model - nicely. When client opens /dev/cuse, kernel starts conversation with CUSE_INIT. The client tells CUSE which device it wants to create. As the previous patch made fuse_file usable without associated fuse_inode, CUSE doesn't create super block or inodes. It attaches fuse_file to cdev file->private_data during open and set ff->fi to NULL. The rest of the operation is almost identical to FUSE direct IO case. Each CUSE device has a corresponding directory /sys/class/cuse/DEVNAME (which is symlink to /sys/devices/virtual/class/DEVNAME if SYSFS_DEPRECATED is turned off) which hosts "waiting" and "abort" among other things. Those two files have the same meaning as the FUSE control files. The only notable lacking feature compared to in-kernel implementation is mmap support.

2008-11-26fuse: implement poll supportTejun Heo1-0/+25
Implement poll support. Polled files are indexed using kh in a RB tree rooted at fuse_conn->polled_files. Client should send FUSE_NOTIFY_POLL notification once after processing FUSE_POLL which has FUSE_POLL_SCHEDULE_NOTIFY set. Sending notification unconditionally after the latest poll or everytime file content might have changed is inefficient but won't cause malfunction. fuse_file_poll() can sleep and requires patches from the following thread which allows f_op->poll() to sleep. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/726176 Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>
2008-11-26fuse: implement unsolicited notificationTejun Heo1-0/+4
Clients always used to write only in response to read requests. To implement poll efficiently, clients should be able to issue unsolicited notifications. This patch implements basic notification support. Zero fuse_out_header.unique is now accepted and considered unsolicited notification and the error field contains notification code.

2008-11-26fuse: implement ioctl supportTejun Heo1-0/+32
Generic ioctl support is tricky to implement because only the ioctl implementation itself knows which memory regions need to be read and/or written. To support this, fuse client can request retry of ioctl specifying memory regions to read and write. Deep copying (nested pointers) can be implemented by retrying multiple times resolving one depth of dereference at a time. For security and cleanliness considerations, ioctl implementation has restricted mode where the kernel determines data transfer directions and sizes using the _IOC_*() macros on the ioctl command. In this mode, retry is not allowed. For all FUSE servers, restricted mode is enforced. Unrestricted ioctl will be used by CUSE.

Implement the get_parent export operation by sending a LOOKUP request with ".." as the name. Implement looking up an inode by node ID after it has been evicted from the cache. This is done by seding a LOOKUP request with "." as the name (for all file types, not just directories).

2008-05-13fuse: add flag to turn on big writesMiklos Szeredi1-0/+1
Prior to 2.6.26 fuse only supported single page write requests. In theory all fuse filesystem should be able support bigger than 4k writes, as there's nothing in the API to prevent it. Unfortunately there's a known case in NTFS-3G where big writes cause filesystem corruption. There could also be other filesystems, where the lack of testing with big write requests would result in bugs. To prevent such problems on a kernel upgrade, disable big writes by default, but let filesystems set a flag to turn it on.

2007-10-18fuse: add blksize field to fuse_attrMiklos Szeredi1-0/+7
There are cases when the filesystem will be passed the buffer from a single read or write call, namely: 1) in 'direct-io' mode (not O_DIRECT), read/write requests don't go through the page cache, but go directly to the userspace fs 2) currently buffered writes are done with single page requests, but if Nick's ->perform_write() patch goes it, it will be possible to do larger write requests. But only if the original write() was also bigger than a page. In these cases the filesystem might want to give a hint to the app about the optimal I/O size. Allow the userspace filesystem to supply a blksize value to be returned by stat() and friends. If the field is zero, it defaults to the old PAGE_CACHE_SIZE value.

2006-02-01[PATCH] fuse: fix async read for legacy filesystemsMiklos Szeredi1-2/+14
While asynchronous reads mean a performance improvement in most cases, if the filesystem assumed that reads are synchronous, then async reads may degrade performance (filesystem may receive reads out of order, which can confuse it's own readahead logic). With sshfs a 1.5 to 4 times slowdown can be measured. There's also a need for userspace filesystems to know whether asynchronous reads are supported by the kernel or not. To achive these, negotiate in the INIT request whether async reads will be used and the maximum readahead value. Update interface version to 7.6 If userspace uses a version earlier than 7.6, then disable async reads, and set maximum readahead value to the maximum read size, as done in previous versions.

Make it more flexibible by not returning -EINVAL from the read, but restarting it instead. Also remove the fixed limit on setxattr data and let the filesystem provide as large a read buffer as it needs to handle the extended attribute data. The symbolic link length is already checked by VFS to be less than PATH_MAX, so the extra check against FUSE_SYMLINK_MAX is not needed. The check in fuse_create_open() against FUSE_NAME_MAX is not needed, since the dentry has already been looked up, and hence the name already checked.

Change interface version to 7.4. Following changes will need backward compatibility support, so store the minor version returned by userspace. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-11-07[PATCH] FUSE: pass file handle in setattrMiklos Szeredi1-1/+15
This patch passes the file handle supplied in iattr to userspace, in case the ->setattr() was invoked from sys_ftruncate(). This solves the permission checking (or lack thereof) in ftruncate() for the class of filesystems served by an unprivileged userspace process.

2005-11-07[PATCH] FUSE: atomic create+openMiklos Szeredi1-2/+3
This patch adds an atomic create+open operation. This does not yet work if the file type changes between lookup and create+open, but solves the permission checking problems for the separte create and open methods.
