Allow filesystems to return ENOSYS from opendir, preventing the kernel from
sending opendir and releasedir messages in the future. This avoids
userspace transitions when filesystems don't need to keep track of state
per directory handle.
A new capability flag, FUSE_NO_OPENDIR_SUPPORT, parallels
FUSE_NO_OPEN_SUPPORT, indicating the new semantics for returning ENOSYS
from opendir.

FUSE file reads are cached in the page cache, but symlink reads are
not. This patch enables FUSE READLINK operations to be cached which
can improve performance of some FUSE workloads.
In particular, I'm working on a FUSE filesystem for access to source
code and discovered that about a 10% improvement to build times is
achieved with this patch (there are a lot of symlinks in the source
tree).

Replace FUSE_MAX_PAGES_PER_REQ with the configurable parameter max_pages to
improve performance.
Old RFC with detailed description of the problem and many fixes by Mitsuo
Hayasaka (mitsuo.hayasaka.hu@hitachi.com):
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/5/136
We've encountered performance degradation and fixed it on a big and complex
virtual environment.
Environment to reproduce degradation and improvement:
1. Add lag to user mode FUSE
Add nanosleep(&(struct timespec){ 0, 1000 }, NULL); to xmp_write_buf in
passthrough_fh.c
2. patch UM fuse with configurable max_pages parameter. The patch will be
provided latter.
3. run test script and perform test on tmpfs
fuse_test()
{
cd /tmp
mkdir -p fusemnt
passthrough_fh -o max_pages=$1 /tmp/fusemnt
grep fuse /proc/self/mounts
dd conv=fdatasync oflag=dsync if=/dev/zero of=fusemnt/tmp/tmp \
count=1K bs=1M 2>&1 | grep -v records
rm fusemnt/tmp/tmp
killall passthrough_fh
}
Test results:
passthrough_fh /tmp/fusemnt fuse.passthrough_fh \
rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0 0 0
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 1.73867 s, 618 MB/s
passthrough_fh /tmp/fusemnt fuse.passthrough_fh \
rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,max_pages=256 0 0
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 1.15643 s, 928 MB/s
Obviously with bigger lag the difference between 'before' and 'after'
will be more significant.
Mitsuo Hayasaka, in 2012 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/5/136),
observed improvement from 400-550 to 520-740.

Add flag returned by OPENDIR request to allow kernel to cache directory
contents in page cache. The effect of FOPEN_CACHE_DIR is twofold:
a) if not already cached, it writes entries into the cache
b) if already cached, it allows reading entries from the cache
The FOPEN_KEEP_CACHE has the same effect as on regular files: unless this
flag is given the cache is cleared upon completion of open.
So FOPEN_KEEP_CACHE and FOPEN_KEEP_CACHE flags should be used together to
make use of the directory caching facility introduced in the following
patches.
The FUSE_AUTO_INVAL_DATA flag returned in INIT reply also has the same
affect on the directory cache as it has on data cache for regular files.

Currently the userspace has no way of knowing whether the fuse
connection ended because of umount or abort via sysfs. It makes it hard
for filesystems to free the mountpoint after abort without worrying
about removing some new mount.
The patch fixes it by returning different errors when userspace reads
from /dev/fuse (-ENODEV for umount and -ECONNABORTED for abort).
Add a new capability flag FUSE_ABORT_ERROR. If set and the connection is
gone because of sysfs abort, reading from the device will return
-ECONNABORTED.

Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be. This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.
Update these files with an SPDX license identifier. The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.
GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:
NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.
Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier. The format
is:
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)
SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text. The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

Add a new INIT flag, FUSE_POSIX_ACL, for negotiating ACL support with
userspace. When it is set in the INIT response, ACL support will be
enabled. ACL support also implies "default_permissions".
When ACL support is enabled, the kernel will cache and have responsibility
for enforcing ACLs. ACL xattrs will be passed to userspace, which is
responsible for updating the ACLs in the filesystem, keeping the file mode
in sync, and inheritance of default ACLs when new filesystem nodes are
created.

This amends the following commit introduced in 3.14:

Allow userspace fs to specify time granularity.
This is needed because with writeback_cache mode the kernel is responsible
for generating mtime and ctime, but if the underlying filesystem doesn't
support nanosecond granularity then the cache will contain a different
value from the one stored on the filesystem resulting in a change of times
after a cache flush.
Make the default granularity 1s.

After the mentioned commit builds on non-Linux toolchains will try to include

Fix by checking for __KERNEL__ instead of __linux__ and using the standard int

For some filesystems (e.g. GlusterFS), the cost of performing a
normal readdir and readdirplus are identical. Since adaptively
using readdirplus has no benefit for those systems, give
users/filesystems the option to control adaptive readdirplus use.
v2 of this patch incorporates Miklos's suggestion to simplify the code,
as well as improving consistency of macro names and documentation.

This patch implements readdirplus support in FUSE, similar to NFS.
The payload returned in the readdirplus call contains
'fuse_entry_out' structure thereby providing all the necessary inputs
for 'faking' a lookup() operation on the spot.
If the dentry and inode already existed (for e.g. in a re-run of ls -l)
then just the inode attributes timeout and dentry timeout are refreshed.
With a simple client->network->server implementation of a FUSE based
filesystem, the following performance observations were made:
Test: Performing a filesystem crawl over 20,000 files with
sh# time ls -lR /mnt
Without readdirplus:
Run 1: 18.1s
Run 2: 16.0s
Run 3: 16.2s
With readdirplus:
Run 1: 4.1s
Run 2: 3.8s
Run 3: 3.8s
The performance improvement is significant as it avoided 20,000 upcalls
calls (lookup). Cache consistency is no worse than what already is.
