FOPEN_DIRECT_IO is usually set by fuse daemon to indicate need of strong coherency, e.g. network filesystems. Thus shared mmap is disabled since it leverages page cache and may write to it, which may cause inconsistence. But FOPEN_DIRECT_IO can be used not for coherency but to reduce memory footprint as well, e.g. reduce guest memory usage with virtiofs. Therefore, add a new fuse init flag FUSE_DIRECT_IO_RELAX to relax restrictions in that mode, currently, it allows shared mmap. One thing to note is to make sure it doesn't break coherency in your use case. Signed-off-by: Hao Xu <howeyxu@tencent.com> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
Add an init flag idicating whether the FUSE_EXPIRE_ONLY flag of
FUSE_NOTIFY_INVAL_ENTRY is effective.
This is needed for backports of this feature, otherwise the server could
just check the protocol version.

Permission to create an object (create, mkdir, symlink, mknod) needs to take supplementary groups into account. Add a supplementary group request extension. This can contain an arbitrary number of group IDs and can be added to any request. This extension is not added to any request by default. Add FUSE_CREATE_SUPP_GROUP init flag to enable supplementary group info in creation requests. This adds just a single supplementary group that matches the parent group in the case described above. In other cases the extension is not added. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
Will need to add supplementary groups to create messages, so add the general concept of a request extension. A request extension is appended to the end of the main request. It has a header indicating the size and type of the extension. The create security context (fuse_secctx_*) is similar to the generic request extension, so include that as well in a backward compatible manner. Add the total extension length to the request header. The offset of the extension block within the request can be calculated by: inh->len - inh->total_extlen * 8 Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
In general, as of now, in FUSE, direct writes on the same file are
serialized over inode lock i.e we hold inode lock for the full duration of
the write request. I could not find in fuse code and git history a comment
which clearly explains why this exclusive lock is taken for direct writes.
Following might be the reasons for acquiring an exclusive lock but not be
limited to
1) Our guess is some USER space fuse implementations might be relying on
this lock for serialization.
2) The lock protects against file read/write size races.
3) Ruling out any issues arising from partial write failures.
This patch relaxes the exclusive lock for direct non-extending writes only.
File size extending writes might not need the lock either, but we are not
entirely sure if there is a risk to introduce any kind of regression.
Furthermore, benchmarking with fio does not show a difference between patch
versions that take on file size extension a) an exclusive lock and b) a
shared lock.
A possible example of an issue with i_size extending writes are write error
cases. Some writes might succeed and others might fail for file system
internal reasons - for example ENOSPACE. With parallel file size extending
writes it _might_ be difficult to revert the action of the failing write,
especially to restore the right i_size.
With these changes, we allow non-extending parallel direct writes on the
same file with the help of a flag called FOPEN_PARALLEL_DIRECT_WRITES. If
this flag is set on the file (flag is passed from libfuse to fuse kernel as
part of file open/create), we do not take exclusive lock anymore, but
instead use a shared lock that allows non-extending writes to run in
parallel. FUSE implementations which rely on this inode lock for
serialization can continue to do so and serialized direct writes are still
the default. Implementations that do not do write serialization need to be
updated and need to set the FOPEN_PARALLEL_DIRECT_WRITES flag in their file
open/create reply.
On patch review there were concerns that network file systems (or vfs
multiple mounts of the same file system) might have issues with parallel
writes. We believe this is not the case, as this is just a local lock,
which network file systems could not rely on anyway. I.e. this lock is
just for local consistency.

Add a flag to entry expiration that lets the filesystem expire a dentry without kicking it out from the cache immediately. This makes a difference for overmounted dentries, where plain invalidation would detach all submounts before dropping the dentry from the cache. If only expiry is set on the dentry, then any overmounts are left alone and until ->d_revalidate() is called. Note: ->d_revalidate() is not called for the case of following a submount, so invalidation will only be triggered for the non-overmounted case. The dentry could also be mounted in a different mount instance, in which case any submounts will still be detached.

This is basically equivalent to the FUSE_CREATE operation which creates and opens a regular file. Add a new FUSE_TMPFILE operation, otherwise just reuse the protocol and the code for FUSE_CREATE.

Expand the fuse protocol to support per inode DAX. FUSE_HAS_INODE_DAX flag is added indicating if fuse server/client supporting per inode DAX. It can be conveyed in both FUSE_INIT request and reply. FUSE_ATTR_DAX flag is added indicating if DAX shall be enabled for corresponding file. It is conveyed in FUSE_LOOKUP reply.

When a new inode is created, send its security context to server along with creation request (FUSE_CREAT, FUSE_MKNOD, FUSE_MKDIR and FUSE_SYMLINK). This gives server an opportunity to create new file and set security context (possibly atomically). In all the configurations it might not be possible to set context atomically. Like nfs and ceph, use security_dentry_init_security() to dermine security context of inode and send it with create, mkdir, mknod, and symlink requests. Following is the information sent to server. fuse_sectx_header, fuse_secctx, xattr_name, security_context - struct fuse_secctx_header This contains total number of security contexts being sent and total size of all the security contexts (including size of fuse_secctx_header). - struct fuse_secctx This contains size of security context which follows this structure. There is one fuse_secctx instance per security context. - xattr name string This string represents name of xattr which should be used while setting security context. - security context This is the actual security context whose size is specified in fuse_secctx struct. Also add the FUSE_SECURITY_CTX flag for the `flags` field of the fuse_init_out struct. When this flag is set the kernel will append the security context for a newly created inode to the request (create, mkdir, mknod, and symlink). The server is responsible for ensuring that the inode appears atomically (preferrably) with the requested security context. For example, If the server is using SELinux and backed by a "real" linux file system that supports extended attributes it can write the security context value to /proc/thread-self/attr/fscreate before making the syscall to create the inode.
