2013-10-01cuse: add fix minor number to /dev/cuseTom Gundersen1-1/+4
This allows udev (or more recently systemd-tmpfiles) to create /dev/cuse on boot, in the same way as /dev/fuse is currently created, and the corresponding module to be loaded on first access. The corresponding functionalty was introduced for fuse in commit 578454f. Signed-off-by: Tom Gundersen <teg@jklm.no> Cc: Kay Sievers <kay@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

2013-04-17fuse: make fuse_direct_io() aware about AIOMaxim Patlasov1-2/+4
The patch implements passing "struct fuse_io_priv *io" down the stack up to fuse_send_read/write where it is used to submit request asynchronously. io->async==0 designates synchronous processing. Non-trivial part of the patch is changes in fuse_direct_io(): resources like fuse requests and user pages cannot be released immediately in async case.

2013-04-17fuse: skip blocking on allocations of synchronous requestsMaxim Patlasov1-1/+0

2013-04-17fuse: add flag fc->initializedMaxim Patlasov1-0/+1
Existing flag fc->blocked is used to suspend request allocation both in case of many background request submitted and period of time before init_reply arrives from userspace. Next patch will skip blocking allocations of synchronous request (disregarding fc->blocked). This is mostly OK, but we still need to suspend allocations if init_reply is not arrived yet. The patch introduces flag fc->initialized which will serve this purpose. Signed-off-by: Maxim Patlasov <mpatlasov@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>
2013-04-17fuse: make request allocations for background processing explicitMaxim Patlasov1-1/+1
There are two types of processing requests in FUSE: synchronous (via fuse_request_send()) and asynchronous (via adding to fc->bg_queue). Fortunately, the type of processing is always known in advance, at the time of request allocation. This preparatory patch utilizes this fact making fuse_get_req() aware about the type. Next patches will use it. Signed-off-by: Maxim Patlasov <mpatlasov@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

2013-01-24fuse: use req->page_descs[] for argpages casesMaxim Patlasov1-0/+1
Previously, anyone who set flag 'argpages' only filled req->pages[] and set per-request page_offset. This patch re-works all cases where argpages=1 to fill req->page_descs[] properly. Having req->page_descs[] filled properly allows to re-work fuse_copy_pages() to copy page fragments described by req->page_descs[]. This will be useful for next patches optimizing direct_IO.

2013-01-24fuse: categorize fuse_get_req()Maxim Patlasov1-1/+1
The patch categorizes all fuse_get_req() invocations into two categories: - fuse_get_req_nopages(fc) - when caller doesn't care about req->pages - fuse_get_req(fc, n) - when caller need n page pointers (n > 0) Adding fuse_get_req_nopages() helps to avoid numerous fuse_get_req(fc, 0) scattered over code. Now it's clear from the first glance when a caller need fuse_req with page pointers. The patch doesn't make any logic changes. In multi-page case, it silly allocates array of FUSE_MAX_PAGES_PER_REQ page pointers. This will be amended by future patches.

2013-01-17cuse: do not register multiple devices with identical namesDavid Herrmann1-6/+15
Sysfs doesn't allow two devices with the same name, but we register a sysfs entry for each cuse device without checking for name collisions. This extends the registration to first check whether the name was already registered. To avoid race-conditions between the name-check and linking the device, we need to protect the whole registration with a mutex.

2010-10-15llseek: automatically add .llseek fopArnd Bergmann1-0/+1
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a .llseek pointer. The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek. New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code relies on calling seek on the device file. The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle. Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window. Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic patch that does all this. ===== begin semantic patch ===== // This adds an llseek= method to all file operations, // as a preparation for making no_llseek the default. // // The rules are // - use no_llseek explicitly if we do nonseekable_open // - use seq_lseek for sequential files // - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos // - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos, // but we still want to allow users to call lseek // @ open1 exists @ identifier nested_open; @@ nested_open(...) { <+... nonseekable_open(...) ...+> } @ open exists@ identifier open_f; identifier i, f; identifier open1.nested_open; @@ int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) { <+...

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo1-0/+1
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2009-06-09CUSE: implement CUSE - Character device in UserspaceTejun Heo1-0/+610
CUSE enables implementing character devices in userspace. With recent additions of ioctl and poll support, FUSE already has most of what's necessary to implement character devices. All CUSE has to do is bonding all those components - FUSE, chardev and the driver model - nicely. When client opens /dev/cuse, kernel starts conversation with CUSE_INIT. The client tells CUSE which device it wants to create. As the previous patch made fuse_file usable without associated fuse_inode, CUSE doesn't create super block or inodes. It attaches fuse_file to cdev file->private_data during open and set ff->fi to NULL. The rest of the operation is almost identical to FUSE direct IO case. Each CUSE device has a corresponding directory /sys/class/cuse/DEVNAME (which is symlink to /sys/devices/virtual/class/DEVNAME if SYSFS_DEPRECATED is turned off) which hosts "waiting" and "abort" among other things. Those two files have the same meaning as the FUSE control files. The only notable lacking feature compared to in-kernel implementation is mmap support.
