Only two flags: "default_permissions" and "allow_other".  All other flags
are handled via bitfields.  So convert these two as well.  They don't
change during the lifetime of the filesystem, so this is quite safe.

Add a new INIT flag, FUSE_POSIX_ACL, for negotiating ACL support with
userspace.  When it is set in the INIT response, ACL support will be
enabled.  ACL support also implies "default_permissions".

When ACL support is enabled, the kernel will cache and have responsibility
for enforcing ACLs.  ACL xattrs will be passed to userspace, which is
responsible for updating the ACLs in the filesystem, keeping the file mode
in sync, and inheritance of default ACLs when new filesystem nodes are
created.

Only userspace filesystem can do the killing of suid/sgid without races.
So introduce an INIT flag and negotiate support for this.

<id>703c73629f93464ce210f5ad92d0c1fb95bfbadf</id>
<content type='text'>
In preparation for posix acl support, rework fuse to use xattr handlers and
the generic setxattr/getxattr/listxattr callbacks.  Split the xattr code
out into it's own file, and promote symbols to module-global scope as
needed.

Functionally these changes have no impact, as fuse still uses a single
handler for all xattrs which uses the old callbacks.

To avoid clearing of capabilities or security related extended
attributes too early, inode_change_ok() will need to take dentry instead
of inode. Propagate it down to fuse_do_setattr().

<title>fuse: improve aio directIO write performance for size extending writes</title>

<id>7879c4e58b7c884ee62b9306721dd1106e624b52</id>
<content type='text'>
While sending the blocking directIO in fuse, the write request is broken
into sub-requests, each of default size 128k and all the requests are sent
in non-blocking background mode if async_dio mode is supported by libfuse.
The process which issue the write wait for the completion of all the
sub-requests. Sending multiple requests parallely gives a chance to perform
parallel writes in the user space fuse implementation if it is
multi-threaded and hence improves the performance.

When there is a size extending aio dio write, we switch to blocking mode so
that we can properly update the size of the file after completion of the
writes. However, in this situation all the sub-requests are sent in
serialized manner where the next request is sent only after receiving the
reply of the current request. Hence the multi-threaded user space
implementation is not utilized properly.

This patch changes the size extending aio dio behavior to exactly follow
blocking dio. For multi threaded fuse implementation having 10 threads and
using buffer size of 64MB to perform async directIO, we are getting double
the speed.
