fuse: fix permission checking

2008-02-24T01:12:13+00:00

I added a nasty local variable shadowing bug to fuse in 2.6.24, with the
result, that the 'default_permissions' mount option is basically ignored.

How did this happen?

 - old err declaration in inner scope
 - new err getting declared in outer scope
 - 'return err' from inner scope getting removed
 - old declaration not being noticed

-Wshadow would have saved us, but it doesn't seem practical for
the kernel :(

More testing would have also saved us :((

Convert ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(p)) instances to ERR_CAST(p)

2008-02-07T16:42:26+00:00

Convert instances of ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(p)) to ERR_CAST(p) using:

perl -spi -e 's/ERR_PTR[(]PTR_ERR[(](.*)[)][)]/ERR_CAST(\1)/' `grep -rl 'ERR_PTR[(]*PTR_ERR' fs crypto net security`

fuse: pass open flags to read and write

2007-11-29T17:24:54+00:00

Some open flags (O_APPEND, O_DIRECT) can be changed with fcntl(F_SETFL, ...)
after open, but fuse currently only sends the flags to userspace in open.

To make it possible to correcly handle changing flags, send the
current value to userspace in each read and write.

fuse: fix reading past EOF

2007-11-29T17:24:54+00:00

Currently reading a fuse file will stop at cached i_size and return
EOF, even though the file might have grown since the attributes were
last updated.

So detect if trying to read past EOF, and refresh the attributes
before continuing with the read.

Thanks to mpb for the report.

fuse: add blksize field to fuse_attr

2007-10-18T21:37:31+00:00

There are cases when the filesystem will be passed the buffer from a single
read or write call, namely:

 1) in 'direct-io' mode (not O_DIRECT), read/write requests don't go
    through the page cache, but go directly to the userspace fs

 2) currently buffered writes are done with single page requests, but
    if Nick's ->perform_write() patch goes it, it will be possible to
    do larger write requests.  But only if the original write() was
    also bigger than a page.

In these cases the filesystem might want to give a hint to the app
about the optimal I/O size.

Allow the userspace filesystem to supply a blksize value to be returned by
stat() and friends.  If the field is zero, it defaults to the old
PAGE_CACHE_SIZE value.

fuse: add support for mandatory locking

2007-10-18T21:37:31+00:00

For mandatory locking the userspace filesystem needs to know the lock
ownership for read, write and truncate operations.

This patch adds the necessary fields to the protocol.

fuse: add atomic open+truncate support

2007-10-18T21:37:31+00:00

This patch allows fuse filesystems to implement open(..., O_TRUNC) as a single
request, instead of separate truncate and open requests.
