2009-04-28fuse: prepare fuse_direct_io() for CUSEMiklos Szeredi1-10/+23
Move code operating on the inode out from fuse_direct_io(). This prepares this function for use by CUSE, where the inode is not owned by a fuse filesystem. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>
2009-04-28fuse: clean up fuse_write_fill()Miklos Szeredi1-9/+8
Move out code from fuse_write_fill() which is not common to all callers. Remove two function arguments which become unnecessary. Also remove unnecessary memset(), the request is already initialized to zero. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

2009-04-28fuse: destroy bdi on errorMiklos Szeredi1-0/+1
Destroy bdi on error in fuse_fill_super(). This was an omission from commit 26c3679101dbccc054dcf370143941844ba70531 "fuse: destroy bdi on umount", which moved the bdi_destroy() call from fuse_conn_put() to fuse_put_super(). Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> CC: stable@kernel.org

* fuse_file_alloc() was structured in weird way. The success path was split between else block and code following the block.

2009-04-09fuse: fix "direct_io" private mmapMiklos Szeredi1-0/+2

Fix the following warning: fs/fuse/file.c: In function 'fuse_direct_io': fs/fuse/file.c:1002: warning: passing argument 3 of 'fuse_get_user_pages' from incompatible pointer type This was introduced by commit f4975c67 "fuse: allow kernel to access "direct_io" files".

2009-04-02fuse: allow private mappings of "direct_io" filesMiklos Szeredi1-1/+11
Allow MAP_PRIVATE mmaps of "direct_io" files. This is necessary for execute support. MAP_SHARED mappings require some sort of coherency between the underlying file and the mapping. With "direct_io" it is difficult to provide this, so for the moment just disallow shared (read-write and read-only) mappings altogether. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>
2009-04-02fuse: allow kernel to access "direct_io" filesMiklos Szeredi2-12/+31
Allow the kernel read and write on "direct_io" files. This is necessary for nfs export and execute support. The implementation is simple: if an access from the kernel is detected, don't perform get_user_pages(), just use the kernel address provided by the requester to copy from/to the userspace filesystem.

2009-04-01mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match faultNick Piggin1-1/+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.

2009-01-26fuse: fix poll notifyMiklos Szeredi1-4/+9
Move fuse_copy_finish() to before calling fuse_notify_poll_wakeup(). This is not a big issue because fuse_notify_poll_wakeup() should be atomic, but it's cleaner this way, and later uses of notification will need to be able to finish the copying before performing some actions.

2009-01-26fuse: destroy bdi on umountMiklos Szeredi2-2/+3
If a fuse filesystem is unmounted but the device file descriptor remains open and a new mount reuses the old device number, then the mount fails with EEXIST and the following warning is printed in the kernel log: WARNING: at fs/sysfs/dir.c:462 sysfs_add_one+0x35/0x3d() sysfs: duplicate filename '0:15' can not be created The cause is that the bdi belonging to the fuse filesystem was destoryed only after the device file was released.

2009-01-04fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fixNick Piggin1-2/+2
With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could cause filesystem deadlocks. The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS anyway, so turn that into a single flag. Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there, change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive and does away with random leading underscores). This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a random example).

2008-11-26fuse: implement poll supportTejun Heo4-0/+172
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 Heo1-2/+25
Clients always used to write only in response to read requests. To implement poll efficiently, clients should be able to issue unsolicited notifications.

2008-11-26fuse: add file kernel handleTejun Heo4-4/+15
The file handle, fuse_file->fh, is opaque value supplied by userland FUSE server and uniqueness is not guaranteed. Add file kernel handle, fuse_file->kh, which is allocated by the kernel on file allocation and guaranteed to be unique. This will be used by poll to match notification to the respective file but can be used for other purposes where unique file handle is necessary.

2008-11-26fuse: implement ioctl supportTejun Heo1-0/+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.

2008-11-01saner FASYNC handling on file closeAl Viro1-1/+0
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.

2008-07-25fuse: add export operationsMiklos Szeredi3-2/+121
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 Comment from hch: - Use the same fh_type values as XFS, since we use the same fh encoding.
