fuse: invalidate readdir cache on epoch bump

2026-06-15T12:06:20+00:00

FUSE_NOTIFY_INC_EPOCH invalidates dentries, but does not invalidate cached
readdir results. A process with cwd inside a FUSE mount can therefore
observe stale readdir(".") output after an epoch bump.

Fix this by recording epoch in the readdir cache and checking it on reuse.

Minimal reproducer:

- mount a tiny FUSE fs with an empty root directory
- on opendir, enable fi->cache_readdir and fi->keep_cache
- chdir into the mount and call readdir(".") to populate readdir cache
- make the FUSE server report one file in the root directory
- send only FUSE_NOTIFY_INC_EPOCH
- call readdir(".") again; before this change it stays stale, after this
  change it sees the new file

fuse: avoid 32-bit prune notification count wrap

2026-06-15T12:06:14+00:00

FUSE_NOTIFY_PRUNE validates the nodeid payload length with:

    size - sizeof(outarg) != outarg.count * sizeof(u64)

On 32-bit kernels, size_t is also 32 bits, so the daemon-controlled
count multiplication can wrap.  A prune notification with count
0x20000000 and no nodeid payload passes the check, enters the copy
loop, and asks the device copy path to read nodeids that are not
present in the userspace write buffer.  In QEMU this reaches the
fuse_copy_fill() BUG_ON(!err) path.

Validate the payload length with array_size() instead.  That accepts
exactly the same valid messages, but avoids wrapping arithmetic before
the copy loop consumes the count.
