2016-03-14fuse: Add reference counting for fuse_io_privSeth Forshee
The 'reqs' member of fuse_io_priv serves two purposes. First is to track the number of oustanding async requests to the server and to signal that the io request is completed. The second is to be a reference count on the structure to know when it can be freed. For sync io requests these purposes can be at odds. fuse_direct_IO() wants to block until the request is done, and since the signal is sent when 'reqs' reaches 0 it cannot keep a reference to the object. Yet it needs to use the object after the userspace server has completed processing requests. This leads to some handshaking and special casing that it needlessly complicated and responsible for at least one race condition. It's much cleaner and safer to maintain a separate reference count for the object lifecycle and to let 'reqs' just be a count of outstanding requests to the userspace server. Then we can know for sure when it is safe to free the object without any handshaking or special cases. The catch here is that most of the time these objects are stack allocated and should not be freed. Initializing these objects with a single reference that is never released prevents accidental attempts to free the objects.

2014-12-12fuse: hold inode instead of path after releaseMiklos Szeredi
path_put() in release could trigger a DESTROY request in fuseblk. The possible deadlock was worked around by doing the path_put() with schedule_work(). This complexity isn't needed if we just hold the inode instead of the path. Since we now flush all requests before destroying the super block we can be sure that all held inodes will be dropped.

2014-12-12fuse: flush requests on umountMiklos Szeredi
Use fuse_abort_conn() instead of fuse_conn_kill() in fuse_put_super(). This flushes and aborts requests still on any queues. But since we've already reset fc->connected, those requests would not be useful anyway and would be flushed when the fuse device is closed. Next patches will rely on requests being flushed before the superblock is destroyed. Use fuse_abort_conn() in cuse_process_init_reply() too, since it makes no difference there, and we can get rid of fuse_conn_kill(). Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

2014-04-02fuse: Fix O_DIRECT operations vs cached writeback misorderPavel Emelyanov
The problem is: 1. write cached data to a file 2. read directly from the same file (via another fd) The 2nd operation may read stale data, i.e. the one that was in a file before the 1st op. Problem is in how fuse manages writeback. When direct op occurs the core kernel code calls filemap_write_and_wait to flush all the cached ops in flight. But fuse acks the writeback right after the ->writepages callback exits w/o waiting for the real write to happen. Thus the subsequent direct op proceeds while the real writeback is still in flight. This is a problem for backends that reorder operation. Fix this by making the fuse direct IO callback explicitly wait on the in-flight writeback to finish.

2014-01-22fuse: support clients that don't implement 'open'Andrew Gallagher
open/release operations require userspace transitions to keep track of the open count and to perform any FS-specific setup. However, for some purely read-only FSs which don't need to perform any setup at open/release time, we can avoid the performance overhead of calling into userspace for open/release calls. This patch adds the necessary support to the fuse kernel modules to prevent open/release operations from hitting in userspace. When the client returns ENOSYS, we avoid sending the subsequent release to userspace, and also remember this so that future opens also don't trigger a userspace operation.

2013-10-01fuse: writepages: handle same page rewritesMiklos Szeredi
As Maxim Patlasov pointed out, it's possible to get a dirty page while it's copy is still under writeback, despite fuse_page_mkwrite() doing its thing (direct IO). This could result in two concurrent write request for the same offset, with data corruption if they get mixed up. To prevent this, fuse needs to check and delay such writes. This implementation does this by: 1. check if page is still under writeout, if so create a new, single page secondary request for it 2. chain this secondary request onto the in-flight request 2/a. if a seconday request for the same offset was already chained to the in-flight request, then just copy the contents of the page and discard the new secondary request. This makes sure that for each page will have at most two requests associated with it 3. when the in-flight request finished, send off all secondary requests chained onto it Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>
2013-10-01fuse: readdirplus: fix RCU walkMiklos Szeredi
Doing dput(parent) is not valid in RCU walk mode. In RCU mode it would probably be okay to update the parent flags, but it's actually not necessary most of the time... So only set the FUSE_I_ADVISE_RDPLUS flag on the parent when the entry was recently initialized by READDIRPLUS. This is achieved by setting FUSE_I_INIT_RDPLUS on entries added by READDIRPLUS and only dropping out of RCU mode if this flag is set. FUSE_I_INIT_RDPLUS is cleared once the FUSE_I_ADVISE_RDPLUS flag is set in the parent.

2013-09-03fuse: hotfix truncate_pagecache() issueMaxim Patlasov
The way how fuse calls truncate_pagecache() from fuse_change_attributes() is completely wrong. Because, w/o i_mutex held, we never sure whether 'oldsize' and 'attr->size' are valid by the time of execution of truncate_pagecache(inode, oldsize, attr->size). In fact, as soon as we released fc->lock in the middle of fuse_change_attributes(), we completely loose control of actions which may happen with given inode until we reach truncate_pagecache. The list of potentially dangerous actions includes mmap-ed reads and writes, ftruncate(2) and write(2) extending file size. The typical outcome of doing truncate_pagecache() with outdated arguments is data corruption from user point of view. This is (in some sense) acceptable in cases when the issue is triggered by a change of the file on the server (i.e. externally wrt fuse operation), but it is absolutely intolerable in scenarios when a single fuse client modifies a file without any external intervention. A real life case I discovered by fsx-linux looked like this: 1. Shrinking ftruncate(2) comes to fuse_do_setattr(). The latter sends FUSE_SETATTR to the server synchronously, but before getting fc->lock ... 2. fuse_dentry_revalidate() is asynchronously called. It sends FUSE_LOOKUP to the server synchronously, then calls fuse_change_attributes(). The latter updates i_size, releases fc->lock, but before comparing oldsize vs attr->size.. 3. fuse_do_setattr() from the first step proceeds by acquiring fc->lock and updating attributes and i_size, but now oldsize is equal to outarg.attr.size because i_size has just been updated (step 2). Hence, fuse_do_setattr() returns w/o calling truncate_pagecache(). 4. As soon as ftruncate(2) completes, the user extends file size by write(2) making a hole in the middle of file, then reads data from the hole either by read(2) or mmap-ed read. The user expects to get zero data from the hole, but gets stale data because truncate_pagecache() is not executed yet. The scenario above illustrates one side of the problem: not truncating the page cache even though we should. Another side corresponds to truncating page cache too late, when the state of inode changed significantly. Theoretically, the following is possible: 1. As in the previous scenario fuse_dentry_revalidate() discovered that i_size changed (due to our own fuse_do_setattr()) and is going to call truncate_pagecache() for some 'new_size' it believes valid right now. But by the time that particular truncate_pagecache() is called ... 2. fuse_do_setattr() returns (either having called truncate_pagecache() or not -- it doesn't matter). 3. The file is extended either by write(2) or ftruncate(2) or fallocate(2). 4. mmap-ed write makes a page in the extended region dirty. The result will be the lost of data user wrote on the fourth step. The patch is a hotfix resolving the issue in a simplistic way: let's skip dangerous i_size update and truncate_pagecache if an operation changing file size is in progress. This simplistic approach looks correct for the cases w/o external changes. And to handle them properly, more sophisticated and intrusive techniques (e.g. NFS-like one) would be required. I'd like to postpone it until the issue is well discussed on the mailing list(s). Changed in v2: - improved patch description to cover both sides of the issue.

2013-04-17fuse: add support of async IOMaxim Patlasov
The patch implements a framework to process an IO request asynchronously. The idea is to associate several fuse requests with a single kiocb by means of fuse_io_priv structure. The structure plays the same role for FUSE as 'struct dio' for direct-io.c. The framework is supposed to be used like this: - someone (who wants to process an IO asynchronously) allocates fuse_io_priv and initializes it setting 'async' field to non-zero value. - as soon as fuse request is filled, it can be submitted (in non-blocking way) by fuse_async_req_send() - when all submitted requests are ACKed by userspace, io->reqs drops to zero triggering aio_complete() In case of IO initiated by libaio, aio_complete() will finish processing the same way as in case of dio_complete() calling aio_complete(). But the framework may be also used for internal FUSE use when initial IO request was synchronous (from user perspective), but it's beneficial to process it asynchronously. Then the caller should wait on kiocb explicitly and aio_complete() will wake the caller up. Signed-off-by: Maxim Patlasov <mpatlasov@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

2013-01-24fuse: implement NFS-like readdirplus supportAnand V. Avati
This patch implements readdirplus support in FUSE, similar to NFS. The payload returned in the readdirplus call contains 'fuse_entry_out' structure thereby providing all the necessary inputs for 'faking' a lookup() operation on the spot. If the dentry and inode already existed (for e.g. in a re-run of ls -l) then just the inode attributes timeout and dentry timeout are refreshed. With a simple client->network->server implementation of a FUSE based filesystem, the following performance observations were made: Test: Performing a filesystem crawl over 20,000 files with sh# time ls -lR /mnt Without readdirplus: Run 1: 18.1s Run 2: 16.0s Run 3: 16.2s With readdirplus: Run 1: 4.1s Run 2: 3.8s Run 3: 3.8s The performance improvement is significant as it avoided 20,000 upcalls calls (lookup).
