[ Upstream commit 744742d692e37ad5c20630e57d526c8f2e2fe3c9 ]

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.

Theoretically we need to order setting of various fields in fc with
fc-&gt;initialized.

No known bug reports related to this yet.

<title>fuse: introduce fuse_simple_request() helper</title>

The following pattern is repeated many times:

	req = fuse_get_req_nopages(fc);
	/* Initialize req-&gt;(in|out).args */
	fuse_request_send(fc, req);
	err = req-&gt;out.h.error;
	fuse_put_request(req);

Create a new replacement helper:

	/* Initialize args */
	err = fuse_simple_request(fc, &amp;args);

In addition to reducing the code size, this will ease moving from the
complex arg-based to a simpler page-based I/O on the fuse device.

<title>fuse: hold inode instead of path after release</title>

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.

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-&gt;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().
