2005-09-09[PATCH] FUSE: add fsync operation for directoriesMiklos Szeredi
This patch adds a new FSYNCDIR request, which is sent when fsync is called on directories. This operation is available in libfuse 2.3-pre1 or greater. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-09-09[PATCH] fuse: don't update file timesMiklos Szeredi
Don't change mtime/ctime/atime to local time on read/write. Rather invalidate file attributes, so next stat() will force a GETATTR call. Bug reported by Ben Grimm.

2005-09-09[PATCH] fuse: more flexible cachingMiklos Szeredi
Make data caching behavior selectable on a per-open basis instead of per-mount. Compatibility for the old mount options 'kernel_cache' and 'direct_io' is retained in the userspace library (version 2.4.0-pre1 or later).

2005-09-09[PATCH] fuse: transfer readdir data through deviceMiklos Szeredi
This patch removes a long lasting "hack" in FUSE, which used a separate channel (a file descriptor refering to a disk-file) to transfer directory contents from userspace to the kernel. The patch adds three new operations (OPENDIR, READDIR, RELEASEDIR), which have semantics and implementation exactly maching the respective file operations (OPEN, READ, RELEASE). This simplifies the directory reading code. Also disk space is not necessary, which can be important in embedded systems.

2005-09-09[PATCH] FUSE - direct I/OMiklos Szeredi
This patch adds support for the "direct_io" mount option of FUSE. When this mount option is specified, the page cache is bypassed for read and write operations. This is useful for example, if the filesystem doesn't know the size of files before reading them, or when any kind of caching is harmful.

2005-09-09[PATCH] FUSE - readpages operationMiklos Szeredi
This patch adds readpages support to FUSE. With the help of the readpages() operation multiple reads are bundled together and sent as a single request to userspace. This can improve reading performace. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-09-09[PATCH] FUSE - mount optionsMiklos Szeredi
This patch adds miscellaneous mount options to the FUSE filesystem. The following mount options are added: o default_permissions: check permissions with generic_permission() o allow_other: allow other users to access files o allow_root: allow root to access files o kernel_cache: don't invalidate page cache on open Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
