fuse: add export operations
Implement export_operations, to allow fuse filesystems to be exported to NFS. This feature has been in the out-of-tree fuse module, and is widely used and tested. It has not been originally merged into mainline, because doing the NFS export in userspace was thought to be a cleaner and more efficient way of doing it, than through the kernel. While that is true, it would also have involved a lot of duplicated effort at reimplementing NFS exporting (all the different versions of the protocol). This effort was unfortunately not undertaken by anyone, so we are left with doing it the easy but less efficient way. If this feature goes in, the out-of-tree fuse module can go away, which would have several advantages: - not having to maintain two versions - less confusion for users - no bugs due to kernel API changes Comment from hch: - Use the same fh_type values as XFS, since we use the same fh encoding.
