fuse: pass open flags to read and write

2007-11-29T17:24:54+00:00

Some open flags (O_APPEND, O_DIRECT) can be changed with fcntl(F_SETFL, ...)
after open, but fuse currently only sends the flags to userspace in open.

To make it possible to correcly handle changing flags, send the
current value to userspace in each read and write.

fuse: add blksize field to fuse_attr

2007-10-18T21:37:31+00:00

There are cases when the filesystem will be passed the buffer from a single
read or write call, namely:

 1) in 'direct-io' mode (not O_DIRECT), read/write requests don't go
    through the page cache, but go directly to the userspace fs

 2) currently buffered writes are done with single page requests, but
    if Nick's ->perform_write() patch goes it, it will be possible to
    do larger write requests.  But only if the original write() was
    also bigger than a page.

In these cases the filesystem might want to give a hint to the app
about the optimal I/O size.

Allow the userspace filesystem to supply a blksize value to be returned by
stat() and friends.  If the field is zero, it defaults to the old
PAGE_CACHE_SIZE value.

fuse: add support for mandatory locking

2007-10-18T21:37:31+00:00

For mandatory locking the userspace filesystem needs to know the lock
ownership for read, write and truncate operations.

This patch adds the necessary fields to the protocol.

fuse: add helper for asynchronous writes

2007-10-18T21:37:31+00:00

This patch adds a new helper function fuse_write_fill() which makes it
possible to send WRITE requests asynchronously.

A new flag for WRITE requests is also added which indicates that this a write
from the page cache, and not a "normal" file write.

This patch is in preparation for writable mmap support.

fuse: support BSD locking semantics

2007-10-18T21:37:31+00:00

It is trivial to add support for flock(2) semantics to the existing protocol,
by setting the lock owner field to the file pointer, and passing a new
FUSE_LK_FLOCK flag with the locking request.

fuse: add atomic open+truncate support

2007-10-18T21:37:31+00:00

This patch allows fuse filesystems to implement open(..., O_TRUNC) as a single
request, instead of separate truncate and open requests.

fuse: improve utimes support

2007-10-18T21:37:30+00:00

Add two new flags for setattr: FATTR_ATIME_NOW and FATTR_MTIME_NOW.  These
mean, that atime or mtime should be changed to the current time.

Also it is now possible to update atime or mtime individually, not just
together.

fuse: add file handle to getattr operation

2007-10-18T21:37:30+00:00

Add necessary protocol changes for supplying a file handle with the getattr
operation.  Step the API version to 7.9.

This patch doesn't actually supply the file handle, because that needs some
kind of VFS support, which we haven't yet been able to agree upon.

[PATCH] fuse: add DESTROY operation

2006-12-07T16:39:32+00:00

Add a DESTROY operation for block device based filesystems.  With the help of
this operation, such a filesystem can flush dirty data to the device
synchronously before the umount returns.

This is needed in situations where the filesystem is assumed to be clean
immediately after unmount (e.g.  ejecting removable media).
