2006-01-16[PATCH] fuse: fix bitfield raceMiklos Szeredi
Fix race in setting bitfields of fuse_conn. Spotted by Andrew Morton. The two fields ->connected and ->mounted were always changed with the fuse_lock held. But other bitfields in the same structure were changed without the lock. In theory this could lead to losing the assignment of even the ones under lock. The chosen solution is to change these two fields to be a full unsigned type. The other bitfields aren't "important" enough to warrant the extra complexity of full locking or changing them to bitops. For all bitfields document why they are safe wrt. concurrent assignments. Also make the initialization of the 'num_waiting' atomic counter explicit.

2006-01-16[PATCH] fuse: use asynchronous READ requests for readpagesMiklos Szeredi
This patch changes fuse_readpages() to send READ requests asynchronously. This makes it possible for userspace filesystems to utilize the kernel readahead logic instead of having to implement their own (resulting in double caching).

2006-01-16[PATCH] fuse: add connection abortingMiklos Szeredi
Add ability to abort a filesystem connection. With the introduction of asynchronous reads, the ability to interrupt any request is not enough to dissolve deadlocks, since now waiting for the request completion (page unlocked) is independent of the actual request, so in a deadlock all threads will be uninterruptible. The solution is to make it possible to abort all requests, even those currently undergoing I/O to/from userspace. The natural interface for this is 'mount -f mountpoint', but that only works as long as the filesystem is attached. So also add an 'abort' attribute to the sysfs view of the connection.

2006-01-16[PATCH] fuse: add number of waiting requests attributeMiklos Szeredi

2006-01-16[PATCH] fuse: extend semantics of connected flagMiklos Szeredi
The ->connected flag for a fuse_conn object previously only indicated whether the device file for this connection is currently open or not. Change it's meaning so that it indicates whether the connection is active or not: now either umount or device release will clear the flag. The separate ->mounted flag is still needed for handling background requests.

2006-01-14[PATCH] Add tmpfs options for memory placement policiesRobin Holt
Anything that writes into a tmpfs filesystem is liable to disproportionately decrease the available memory on a particular node. Since there's no telling what sort of application (e.g. dd/cp/cat) might be dropping large files there, this lets the admin choose the appropriate default behavior for their site's situation. Introduce a tmpfs mount option which allows specifying a memory policy and a second option to specify the nodelist for that policy. With the default policy, tmpfs will behave as it does today. This patch adds support for preferred, bind, and interleave policies. The default policy will cause pages to be added to tmpfs files on the node which is doing the writing. Some jobs expect a single process to create and manage the tmpfs files. This results in a node which has a significantly reduced number of free pages. With this patch, the administrator can specify the policy and nodes for that policy where they would prefer allocations. This patch was originally written by Brent Casavant and Hugh Dickins. I added support for the bind and preferred policies and the mpol_nodelist mount option.

Checks for t_refcount in journal_begin() fail and we Oops. We raise t_refcount to make those checks happy.
