* Revert "fuse: Fix build error" as unnecessaryLinus Torvalds2009-07-111-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 097041e576ee3a50d92dd643ee8ca65bf6a62e21. Trond had a better fix, which is the parent of this one ("Fix compile error due to congestion_wait() changes") Requested-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> Acked-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

| | | | | | | | Commit 1faa16d22877f4839bd433547d770c676d1d964c accidentally broke the bdi congestion wait queue logic, causing us to wait on congestion for WRITE (== 1) when we really wanted BLK_RW_ASYNC (== 0) instead. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* fuse: invalidation reverse callsJohn Muir2009-06-304-3/+198
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* fuse: allow umask processing in userspaceMiklos Szeredi2009-06-303-4/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | On 64 bit systems -- where sizeof(ssize_t) > sizeof(int) -- the following test exposes a bug due to a non-careful return of an int or unsigned value: implement a FUSE filesystem which sends an unsolicited notification to the kernel with invalid opcode.

| * CUSE: implement CUSE - Character device in UserspaceTejun Heo2009-06-092-0/+611
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match faultNick Piggin2009-04-011-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the page_mkwrite prototype to take a struct vm_fault, and return VM_FAULT_xxx flags. There should be no functional change. This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to the VM (and also can provide more information eg. virtual_address to the driver, which might be important in some special cases). This is required for a subsequent fix. And will also make it easier to merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

| * fuse: implement ioctl supportTejun Heo2008-11-261-0/+280
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
