From 2396356a945bb022aff02656f59c2a45d457043f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Luis Henriques Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2025 09:14:51 +0000 Subject: fuse: add more control over cache invalidation behaviour Currently userspace is able to notify the kernel to invalidate the cache for an inode. This means that, if all the inodes in a filesystem need to be invalidated, then userspace needs to iterate through all of them and do this kernel notification separately. This patch adds the concept of 'epoch': each fuse connection will have the current epoch initialized and every new dentry will have it's d_time set to the current epoch value. A new operation will then allow userspace to increment the epoch value. Every time a dentry is d_revalidate()'ed, it's epoch is compared with the current connection epoch and invalidated if it's value is different.
