[PATCH] fuse: add blksize option

2006-12-07T16:39:31+00:00

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.

[PATCH] fuse: add support for block device based filesystems

2006-12-07T16:39:31+00:00

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.

[PATCH] fuse: add request interruption

2006-06-25T17:01:19+00:00

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).

[PATCH] fuse: add control filesystem

2006-06-25T17:01:19+00:00

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

[PATCH] fuse: no backgrounding on interrupt

2006-06-25T17:01:19+00:00

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.

[PATCH] fuse: more flexible caching

2005-09-09T21:03:47+00:00

Make data caching behavior selectable on a per-open basis instead of
per-mount.  Compatibility for the old mount options 'kernel_cache' and
'direct_io' is retained in the userspace library (version 2.4.0-pre1 or
later).
