[PATCH] Documentation update for relay interface

2006-08-27T18:01:31+00:00

Here's updated documentation for the relay interface, rewritten to match
the relayfs->relay changes.  It also moves relayfs.txt to relay.txt in the
process.

It includes the changes to relayfs.txt previously posted by Randy Dunlap,
thanks for those.

The relay-apps examples have also been updated to match, and can be found
on the sourceforge relayfs website.

[PATCH] VFS documentation tweak

2006-07-10T20:24:15+00:00

As I was looking over the get_sb() changes, I stumbled across a little
mistake in the documentation updates.  Unless we're getting into an
interesting new object-oriented realm, I doubt that get_sb() should really
return "struct int"...

This patch adds "-o bh" option to force use of buffer_heads.  This option
is needed when we make "nobh" as default - and if we run into problems.

[PATCH] fuse: add request interruption

2006-06-25T17:01:19+00:00

Add synchronous request interruption.  This is needed for file locking
operations which have to be interruptible.  However filesystem may implement
interruptibility of other operations (e.g.  like NFS 'intr' mount option).

[PATCH] fuse: add control filesystem

2006-06-25T17:01:19+00:00

Add a control filesystem to fuse, replacing the attributes currently exported
through sysfs.  An empty directory '/sys/fs/fuse/connections' is still created
in sysfs, and mounting the control filesystem here provides backward
compatibility.

Advantages of the control filesystem over the previous solution:

  - allows the object directory and the attributes to be owned by the
    filesystem owner, hence letting unpriviled users abort the
    filesystem connection

  - does not suffer from module unload race
