FUSE_PASSTHROUGH capability to passthrough FUSE operations to backing
files will be made available with kernel config CONFIG_FUSE_PASSTHROUGH.
When requesting FUSE_PASSTHROUGH, userspace needs to specify the
max_stack_depth that is allowed for FUSE on top of backing files.
Introduce the flag FOPEN_PASSTHROUGH and backing_id to fuse_open_out
argument that can be used when replying to OPEN request, to setup
passthrough of io operations on the fuse inode to a backing file.
Introduce a refcounted fuse_backing object that will be used to
associate an open backing file with a fuse inode.

This patch implements basic DAX support. mmap() is not implemented
yet and will come in later patches. This patch looks into implemeting
read/write.
We make use of interval tree to keep track of per inode dax mappings.
Do not use dax for file extending writes, instead just send WRITE message
to daemon (like we do for direct I/O path). This will keep write and
i_size change atomic w.r.t crash.

Add a basic file system module for virtio-fs. This does not yet contain
shared data support between host and guest or metadata coherency speedups.
However it is already significantly faster than virtio-9p.
Design Overview
===============
With the goal of designing something with better performance and local file
system semantics, a bunch of ideas were proposed.
- Use fuse protocol (instead of 9p) for communication between guest and
host. Guest kernel will be fuse client and a fuse server will run on
host to serve the requests.
- For data access inside guest, mmap portion of file in QEMU address space
and guest accesses this memory using dax. That way guest page cache is
bypassed and there is only one copy of data (on host). This will also
enable mmap(MAP_SHARED) between guests.
- For metadata coherency, there is a shared memory region which contains
version number associated with metadata and any guest changing metadata
updates version number and other guests refresh metadata on next access.
This is yet to be implemented.
How virtio-fs differs from existing approaches
==============================================
The unique idea behind virtio-fs is to take advantage of the co-location of
the virtual machine and hypervisor to avoid communication (vmexits).
DAX allows file contents to be accessed without communication with the
hypervisor. The shared memory region for metadata avoids communication in
the common case where metadata is unchanged.
By replacing expensive communication with cheaper shared memory accesses,
we expect to achieve better performance than approaches based on network
file system protocols. In addition, this also makes it easier to achieve
local file system semantics (coherency).
These techniques are not applicable to network file system protocols since
the communications channel is bypassed by taking advantage of shared memory
on a local machine. This is why we decided to build virtio-fs rather than
focus on 9P or NFS.
Caching Modes
=============
Like virtio-9p, different caching modes are supported which determine the
coherency level as well. The “cache=FOO” and “writeback” options control
the level of coherence between the guest and host filesystems.
- cache=none
metadata, data and pathname lookup are not cached in guest. They are
always fetched from host and any changes are immediately pushed to host.
- cache=always
metadata, data and pathname lookup are cached in guest and never expire.
- cache=auto
metadata and pathname lookup cache expires after a configured amount of
time (default is 1 second). Data is cached while the file is open
(close to open consistency).
- writeback/no_writeback
These options control the writeback strategy. If writeback is disabled,
then normal writes will immediately be synchronized with the host fs.
If writeback is enabled, then writes may be cached in the guest until
the file is closed or an fsync(2) performed. This option has no effect
on mmap-ed writes or writes going through the DAX mechanism.

Add a new INIT flag, FUSE_POSIX_ACL, for negotiating ACL support with
userspace. When it is set in the INIT response, ACL support will be
enabled. ACL support also implies "default_permissions".
When ACL support is enabled, the kernel will cache and have responsibility
for enforcing ACLs. ACL xattrs will be passed to userspace, which is
responsible for updating the ACLs in the filesystem, keeping the file mode
in sync, and inheritance of default ACLs when new filesystem nodes are
created.

Given that CUSE depends on FUSE, it only makes sense to move its
Kconfig entry into the FUSE Kconfig file. Also, add a few grammatical
and semantic touchups.
