2006-06-25[PATCH] fuse: add request interruptionMiklos Szeredi
Add synchronous request interruption. This is needed for file locking operations which have to be interruptible. However filesystem may implement interruptibility of other operations (e.g. like NFS 'intr' mount option).

2006-06-25[PATCH] fuse: add control filesystemMiklos Szeredi
Add a control filesystem to fuse, replacing the attributes currently exported through sysfs. An empty directory '/sys/fs/fuse/connections' is still created in sysfs, and mounting the control filesystem here provides backward compatibility. Advantages of the control filesystem over the previous solution: - allows the object directory and the attributes to be owned by the filesystem owner, hence letting unpriviled users abort the filesystem connection - does not suffer from module unload race [akpm@osdl.org: fix this fs for recent dhowells depredations] [akpm@osdl.org: fix 64-bit printk warnings] Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-06-25[PATCH] fuse: no backgrounding on interruptMiklos Szeredi
Don't put requests into the background when a fatal interrupt occurs while the request is in userspace. This removes a major wart from the implementation. Backgrounding of requests was introduced to allow breaking of deadlocks. However now the same can be achieved by aborting the filesystem through the 'abort' sysfs attribute. This is a change in the interface, but should not cause problems, since these kinds of deadlocks never happen during normal operation.

This will make them more visible/usable to users who may need to use them, to developers who may need to test with them, and to janitors who would update them if they were more visible.
