In async IO blocking case the additional reference to the io is taken for
it to survive fuse_aio_complete(). In non blocking case this additional
reference is not needed, however we still reference io to figure out
whether to wait for completion or not. This is wrong and will lead to
use-after-free. Fix it by storing blocking information in separate
variable.

This was spotted by KASAN when running generic/208 fstest.

In current fuse_drop_waiting() implementation it's possible that
fuse_wait_aborted() will not be woken up in the unlikely case that
fuse_abort_conn() + fuse_wait_aborted() runs in between checking
fc-&gt;connected and calling atomic_dec(&amp;fc-&gt;num_waiting).

Do the atomic_dec_and_test() unconditionally, which also provides the
necessary barrier against reordering with the fc-&gt;connected check.

The explicit smp_mb() in fuse_wait_aborted() is not actually needed, since
the spin_unlock() in fuse_abort_conn() provides the necessary RELEASE
barrier after resetting fc-&gt;connected.  However, this is not a performance
sensitive path, and adding the explicit barrier makes it easier to
document.

fuse_request_send_notify_reply() may fail if the connection was reset for
some reason (e.g. fs was unmounted).  Don't leak request reference in this
case.  Besides leaking memory, this resulted in fc-&gt;num_waiting not being
decremented and hence fuse_wait_aborted() left in a hanging and unkillable
state.

Use accessor functions to access an iterator's type and direction.  This
allows for the possibility of using some other method of determining the
type of iterator than if-chains with bitwise-AND conditions.

FUSE file reads are cached in the page cache, but symlink reads are
not. This patch enables FUSE READLINK operations to be cached which
can improve performance of some FUSE workloads.

In particular, I'm working on a FUSE filesystem for access to source
code and discovered that about a 10% improvement to build times is
achieved with this patch (there are a lot of symlinks in the source
tree).

<title>fuse: don't need GETATTR after every READ</title>

If 'auto_inval_data' mode is active, then fuse_file_read_iter() will call
fuse_update_attributes(), which will check the attribute validity and send
a GETATTR request if some of the attributes are no longer valid.  The page
cache is then invalidated if the size or mtime have changed.

Then, if a READ request was sent and reply received (which is the case if
the data wasn't cached yet, or if the file is opened for O_DIRECT), the
atime attribute is invalidated.

This will result in the next read() also triggering a GETATTR, ...

This can be fixed by only sending GETATTR if the mode or size are invalid,
we don't need to do a refresh if only atime is invalid.

More generally, none of the callers of fuse_update_attributes() need an
up-to-date atime value, so for now just remove STATX_ATIME from the request
mask when attributes are updated for internal use.

<content type='text'>
This patch adds the infrastructure for more fine grained attribute
invalidation.  Currently only 'atime' is invalidated separately.

The use of this infrastructure is extended to the statx(2) interface, which
for now means that if only 'atime' is invalid and STATX_ATIME is not
specified in the mask argument, then no GETATTR request will be generated.

Writeback caching currently allocates requests with the maximum number of
possible pages, while the actual number of pages per request depends on a
couple of factors that cannot be determined when the request is allocated
(whether page is already under writeback, whether page is contiguous with
previous pages already added to a request).

This patch allows such requests to start with no page allocation (all pages
inline) and grow the page array on demand.

If the max_pages tunable remains the default value, then this will mean
just one allocation that is the same size as before.  If the tunable is
larger, then this adds at most 3 additional memory allocations (which is
generously compensated by the improved performance from the larger
request).
