While asynchronous reads mean a performance improvement in most cases, if
the filesystem assumed that reads are synchronous, then async reads may
degrade performance (filesystem may receive reads out of order, which can
confuse it's own readahead logic).
With sshfs a 1.5 to 4 times slowdown can be measured.
There's also a need for userspace filesystems to know whether asynchronous
reads are supported by the kernel or not.
To achive these, negotiate in the INIT request whether async reads will be
used and the maximum readahead value. Update interface version to 7.6
If userspace uses a version earlier than 7.6, then disable async reads, and
set maximum readahead value to the maximum read size, as done in previous
versions.

Fix race in setting bitfields of fuse_conn. Spotted by Andrew Morton.
The two fields ->connected and ->mounted were always changed with the
fuse_lock held. But other bitfields in the same structure were changed
without the lock. In theory this could lead to losing the assignment of
even the ones under lock. The chosen solution is to change these two
fields to be a full unsigned type. The other bitfields aren't "important"
enough to warrant the extra complexity of full locking or changing them to
bitops.
For all bitfields document why they are safe wrt. concurrent
assignments.
Also make the initialization of the 'num_waiting' atomic counter explicit.

This patch changes fuse_readpages() to send READ requests asynchronously.
This makes it possible for userspace filesystems to utilize the kernel

Add ability to abort a filesystem connection.
With the introduction of asynchronous reads, the ability to interrupt any
request is not enough to dissolve deadlocks, since now waiting for the request
completion (page unlocked) is independent of the actual request, so in a
deadlock all threads will be uninterruptible.
The solution is to make it possible to abort all requests, even those
currently undergoing I/O to/from userspace. The natural interface for this is
'mount -f mountpoint', but that only works as long as the filesystem is
attached. So also add an 'abort' attribute to the sysfs view of the
connection.

Change the way a too large request is handled. Until now in this case the
device read returned -EINVAL and the operation returned -EIO.
Make it more flexibible by not returning -EINVAL from the read, but restarting
it instead.
Also remove the fixed limit on setxattr data and let the filesystem provide as
large a read buffer as it needs to handle the extended attribute data.
The symbolic link length is already checked by VFS to be less than PATH_MAX,
so the extra check against FUSE_SYMLINK_MAX is not needed.
The check in fuse_create_open() against FUSE_NAME_MAX is not needed, since the
dentry has already been looked up, and hence the name already checked.

Add support for caching negative dentries.
Up till now, ->d_revalidate() always forced a new lookup on these. Now let
the lookup method return a zero node ID (not used for anything else) meaning a
negative entry, but with a positive cache timeout. The old way of signaling
negative entry (replying ENOENT) still works.

This patch removes ability to interrupt and restart operations while there
hasn't been any side-effect.
The reason: applications. There are some apps it seems that generate
signals at a fast rate. This means, that if the operation cannot make
enough progress between two signals, it will be restarted for ever. This
bug actually manifested itself with 'krusader' trying to open a file for
writing under sshfs. Thanks to Eduard Czimbalmos for the report.
The problem can be solved just by making open() uninterruptible, because in
this case it was the truncate operation that slowed down the progress. But
it's better to solve this by simply not allowing interrupts at all (except
SIGKILL), because applications don't expect file operations to be
interruptible anyway. As an added bonus the code is simplified somewhat.

This patch removes a long lasting "hack" in FUSE, which used a separate
channel (a file descriptor refering to a disk-file) to transfer directory
contents from userspace to the kernel.
The patch adds three new operations (OPENDIR, READDIR, RELEASEDIR), which
have semantics and implementation exactly maching the respective file
operations (OPEN, READ, RELEASE).
This simplifies the directory reading code. Also disk space is not
necessary, which can be important in embedded systems.

This patch tightens the check for allowing processes to access non-privileged
mounts. The rational is that the filesystem implementation can control the
behavior or get otherwise unavailable information of the filesystem user. If
the filesystem user process has the same uid, gid, and is not suid or sgid
application, then access is safe. Otherwise access is not allowed unless the
"allow_other" mount option is given (for which policy is controlled by the
userspace mount utility).

problems with the previous approach.
