<content type='text'>
Use fuse_abort_conn() instead of fuse_conn_kill() in fuse_put_super().
This flushes and aborts requests still on any queues.  But since we've
already reset fc-&gt;connected, those requests would not be useful anyway and
would be flushed when the fuse device is closed.

Next patches will rely on requests being flushed before the superblock is
destroyed.

Use fuse_abort_conn() in cuse_process_init_reply() too, since it makes no
difference there, and we can get rid of fuse_conn_kill().

<title>fuse: Fix O_DIRECT operations vs cached writeback misorder</title>

<id>ea8cd33390fafc1eca06a26e6a9c7bf1d386526f</id>
<content type='text'>
The problem is:

1. write cached data to a file
2. read directly from the same file (via another fd)

The 2nd operation may read stale data, i.e. the one that was in a file
before the 1st op. Problem is in how fuse manages writeback.

When direct op occurs the core kernel code calls filemap_write_and_wait
to flush all the cached ops in flight. But fuse acks the writeback right
after the -&gt;writepages callback exits w/o waiting for the real write to
happen. Thus the subsequent direct op proceeds while the real writeback
is still in flight. This is a problem for backends that reorder operation.

Fix this by making the fuse direct IO callback explicitly wait on the
in-flight writeback to finish.

Summary of http://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/14/363 :

  Ted: module_param(queue_depth, int, 444)
  Joe: 0444!
  Rusty: User perms &gt;= group perms &gt;= other perms?
  Joe: CLASS_ATTR, DEVICE_ATTR, SENSOR_ATTR and SENSOR_ATTR_2?

Side effect of stricter permissions means removing the unnecessary
S_IFREG from several callers.

Note that the BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO((perm) &amp; 2) test was removed: a fair
number of drivers fail this test, so that will be the debate for a
future patch.

This allows udev (or more recently systemd-tmpfiles) to create /dev/cuse on
