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.

Fix two bugs in fuse_retrieve():
- retrieving more than one page would yield repeated instances of the
first page
- if more than FUSE_MAX_PAGES_PER_REQ pages were requested than the
request page array would overflow
fuse_retrieve() was added in 2.6.36 and these bugs had been there since the
beginning.

This function basically does:
remove_from_page_cache(old);
page_cache_release(old);
add_to_page_cache_locked(new);
Except it does this atomically, so there's no possibility for the "add" to
fail because of a race.
If memory cgroups are enabled, then the memory cgroup charge is also moved
from the old page to the new.
This function is currently used by fuse to move pages into the page cache
on read, instead of copying the page contents.

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.

David Bartly reported that fuse can hang in fuse_get_req_nofail() when
the connection to the filesystem server is no longer active.
If bg_queue is not empty then flush_bg_queue() called from
request_end() can put more requests on to the pending queue. If this
happens while ending requests on the processing queue then those
background requests will be queued to the pending list and never
ended.
Another problem is that fuse_dev_release() didn't wake up processes
sleeping on blocked_waitq.
Solve this by:
a) flushing the background queue before calling end_requests() on the
pending and processing queues
b) setting blocked = 0 and waking up processes waiting on
blocked_waitq()
Thanks to David for an excellent bug report.

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.

Don't use atomic kmap for mapping userspace buffers in device
read/write/splice.
This is necessary because the next patch (adding store notify)
requires that caller of fuse_copy_page() may sleep between
invocations. The simplest way to ensure this is to change the atomic
kmaps to non-atomic ones.
Thankfully architectures where kmap() is not a no-op are going out of
fashion, so we can ignore the (probably negligible) performance impact
of this change.

This adds:
alias: devname:<name>
to some common kernel modules, which will allow the on-demand loading
of the kernel module when the device node is accessed.
Ideally all these modules would be compiled-in, but distros seems too
much in love with their modularization that we need to cover the common
cases with this new facility. It will allow us to remove a bunch of pretty
useless init scripts and modprobes from init scripts.
The static device node aliases will be carried in the module itself. The
program depmod will extract this information to a file in the module directory:
$ cat /lib/modules/2.6.34-00650-g537b60d-dirty/modules.devname
# Device nodes to trigger on-demand module loading.
microcode cpu/microcode c10:184
fuse fuse c10:229
ppp_generic ppp c108:0
tun net/tun c10:200
dm_mod mapper/control c10:235
Udev will pick up the depmod created file on startup and create all the
static device nodes which the kernel modules specify, so that these modules
get automatically loaded when the device node is accessed:
$ /sbin/udevd --debug
...
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/cpu/microcode' c10:184
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/fuse' c10:229
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/ppp' c108:0
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/net/tun' c10:200
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/mapper/control' c10:235
udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/net/tun' 0666
udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/fuse' 0666
A few device nodes are switched to statically allocated numbers, to allow
the static nodes to work. This might also useful for systems which still run
a plain static /dev, which is completely unsafe to use with any dynamic minor
numbers.
Note:
The devname aliases must be limited to the *common* and *single*instance*
device nodes, like the misc devices, and never be used for conceptually limited
systems like the loop devices, which should rather get fixed properly and get a
control node for losetup to talk to, instead of creating a random number of
device nodes in advance, regardless if they are ever used.
This facility is to hide the mess distros are creating with too modualized
kernels, and just to hide that these modules are not compiled-in, and not to
paper-over broken concepts. Thanks! :)

Allow userspace filesystem implementation to use splice() to read from
the fuse device.
The userspace filesystem can now transfer data coming from a WRITE
request to an arbitrary file descriptor (regular file, block device or
socket) without having to go through a userspace buffer.
The semantics of using splice() to read messages are:
1) with a single splice() call move the whole message from the fuse
device to a temporary pipe
2) read the header from the pipe and determine the message type
3a) if message is a WRITE then splice data from pipe to destination
3b) else read rest of message to userspace buffer

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.

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).

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.

If a fuse filesystem is unmounted but the device file descriptor

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. This
patch doesn't implement any actual notification.

fuse_req->end() was supposed to be put the base reference but there's
no reason why it should. It only makes things more complex. Move it
out of ->end() and make it the responsibility of request_end().

Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from
the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds.
Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id().
Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id(). In some places it makes more
sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be
addressed by later patches.

As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync()
need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that
creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget.
So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in
file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set. And lose that
crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we
don't have to bother anymore.

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.
This is done by introducing another queue for background requests, and a
counter for the number of "active" requests, which are currently available for
userspace.

Don't return -ENOENT for a read() on the fuse device when the request was
aborted. Instead return -ENODEV, meaning the filesystem has been
force-umounted or aborted.
Previously ENOENT meant that the request was interrupted, but now the
'aborted' flag is not set in case of interrupts.

Don't set 'aborted' flag on a request if it's interrupted. We have to wait
for the answer anyway, and this would only a very little time while copying
the reply.
This means, that write() on the fuse device will not return -ENOENT during
normal operation, only if the filesystem is aborted by a forced umount or
through the fusectl interface.
This could simplify userspace code somewhat when backward compatibility with
earlier kernel versions is not required.
