2008-06-17fuse: fix thinko in max I/O size calucationMiklos Szeredi
Use max not min to enforce a lower limit on the max I/O size. This bug was introduced by "fuse: fix max i/o size calculation" (commit e5d9a0df07484d6d191756878c974e4307fb24ce). Thanks to Brian Wang for noticing.

2008-05-24fuse: fix bdi naming conflictMiklos Szeredi
Fuse allocates a separate bdi for each filesystem, and registers them in sysfs with "MAJOR:MINOR" of sb->s_dev (st_dev). This works fine for anon devices normally used by fuse, but can conflict with an already registered BDI for "fuseblk" filesystems, where sb->s_dev represents a real block device. In particularl this happens if a non-partitioned device is being mounted. Fix by registering with a different name for "fuseblk" filesystems. Thanks to Ioan Ionita for the bug report.

2008-05-13fuse: add flag to turn on big writesMiklos Szeredi
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.

2008-04-30fuse: support writable mmapMiklos Szeredi
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'.

2008-02-06fuse: limit queued background requestsMiklos Szeredi
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.

2007-10-18fuse: add blksize field to fuse_attrMiklos Szeredi
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.

2007-10-18fuse: add list of writable files to fuse_inodeMiklos Szeredi

2007-10-18fuse: fix race between getattr and writeMiklos Szeredi
Getattr and lookup operations can be running in parallel to attribute changing operations, such as write and setattr. This means, that if for example getattr was slower than a write, the cached size attribute could be set to a stale value. To prevent this race, introduce a per-filesystem attribute version counter. This counter is incremented whenever cached attributes are modified, and the incremented value stored in the inode. Before storing new attributes in the cache, getattr and lookup check, using the version number, whether the attributes have been modified during the request's lifetime. If so, the returned attributes are not cached, because they might be stale. Thanks to Jakub Bogusz for the bug report and test program.

2007-10-17fuse: fix permission checking on sticky directoriesMiklos Szeredi
The VFS checks sticky bits on the parent directory even if the filesystem defines it's own ->permission(). In some situations (sshfs, mountlo, etc) the user does have permission to delete a file even if the attribute based checking would not allow it. So work around this by storing the permission bits separately and returning them in stat(), but cutting the permission bits off from inode->i_mode. This is slightly hackish, but it's probably not worth it to add new infrastructure in VFS and a slight performance penalty for all filesystems, just for the sake of fuse.

2007-05-21Detach sched.h from mm.hAlexey Dobriyan
First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock() mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why. This patch a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly. e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were getting them indirectly Net result is: a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if they don't need sched.h b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files: on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files, after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

2007-05-08add filesystem subtype supportMiklos Szeredi
There's a slight problem with filesystem type representation in fuse based filesystems. From the kernel's view, there are just two filesystem types: fuse and fuseblk. From the user's view there are lots of different filesystem types. The user is not even much concerned if the filesystem is fuse based or not. So there's a conflict of interest in how this should be represented in fstab, mtab and /proc/mounts. The current scheme is to encode the real filesystem type in the mount source. So an sshfs mount looks like this: sshfs#user@server:/ /mnt/server fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,... This url-ish syntax works OK for sshfs and similar filesystems. However for block device based filesystems (ntfs-3g, zfs) it doesn't work, since the kernel expects the mount source to be a real device name. A possibly better scheme would be to encode the real type in the type field as "type.subtype". So fuse mounts would look like this: /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows fuseblk.ntfs-3g rw,... user@server:/ /mnt/server fuse.sshfs rw,nosuid,nodev,... This patch adds the necessary code to the kernel so that this can be correctly displayed in /proc/mounts.

2007-05-07slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flagChristoph Lameter
I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by SLAB. I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is performed before each freeing of an object. I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually before the free. That also places the check near the code object manipulation of the object. Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree). There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be clear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors. This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for unimplemented flags from SLUB.

2006-12-07[PATCH] fuse: add DESTROY operationMiklos Szeredi
Add a DESTROY operation for block device based filesystems. With the help of this operation, such a filesystem can flush dirty data to the device synchronously before the umount returns. This is needed in situations where the filesystem is assumed to be clean immediately after unmount (e.g. ejecting removable media).

2006-12-07[PATCH] fuse: add blksize optionMiklos Szeredi
Add 'blksize' option for block device based filesystems. During initialization this is used to set the block size on the device and the super block. The default block size is 512bytes.

2006-12-07[PATCH] fuse: add support for block device based filesystemsMiklos Szeredi
I never intended this, but people started using fuse to implement block device based "real" filesystems (ntfs-3g, zfs). The following four patches add better support for these kinds of filesystems. Unlike "normal" fuse filesystems, using this feature should require superuser privileges (enforced by the fusermount utility). Thanks to Szabolcs Szakacsits for the input and testing. This patch adds a 'fuseblk' filesystem type, which is only different from the 'fuse' filesystem type in how the 'dev_name' mount argument is interpreted.

2006-12-07[PATCH] slab: remove kmem_cache_tChristoph Lameter
Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache. The patch was generated using the following script: #!/bin/sh # # Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources. # set -e for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do quilt add $file sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$ mv /tmp/$$ $file quilt refresh done The script was run like this sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache" Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-10-17[PATCH] fuse: fix handling of moved directoryMiklos Szeredi
Fuse considered it an error (EIO) if lookup returned a directory inode, to which a dentry already refered. This is because directory aliases are not allowed. But in a network filesystem this could happen legitimately, if a directory is moved on a remote client. This patch attempts to relax the restriction by trying to first evict the offending alias from the cache. If this fails, it still returns an error (EBUSY). A rarer situation is if an mkdir races with an indenpendent lookup, which finds the newly created directory already moved. In this situation the mkdir should return success, but that would be incorrect, since the dentry cannot be instantiated, so return EBUSY. Previously checking for a directory alias and instantiation of the dentry weren't done atomically in lookup/mkdir, hence two such calls racing with each other could create aliased directories. To prevent this introduce a new per-connection mutex: fuse_conn->inst_mutex, which is taken for instantiations with a directory inode.

2006-10-17[PATCH] fuse: fix spurious BUGMiklos Szeredi
Fix a spurious BUG in an unlikely race, where at least three parallel lookups return the same inode, but with different file type. This has not yet been observed in real life. Allowing unlimited retries could delay fuse_iget() indefinitely, but this is really for the broken userspace filesystem to worry about.

2006-10-17[PATCH] fuse: locking fix for nlookupMiklos Szeredi
An inode could be returned by independent parallel lookups, in this case an update of the lookup counter could be lost resulting in a memory leak in userspace.
