      CUSE: implement CUSE - Character device in Userspace · 151060ac
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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.

      fuse: allow private mappings of "direct_io" files · fc280c96
      Miklos Szeredi 提交于
      Allow MAP_PRIVATE mmaps of "direct_io" files.  This is necessary for
      execute support.
      
      MAP_SHARED mappings require some sort of coherency between the
      underlying file and the mapping.  With "direct_io" it is difficult to
      provide this, so for the moment just disallow shared (read-write and
      read-only) mappings altogether.

      fuse: allow kernel to access "direct_io" files · f4975c67
      Miklos Szeredi 提交于
      Allow the kernel read and write on "direct_io" files.  This is
      necessary for nfs export and execute support.
      
      The implementation is simple: if an access from the kernel is
      detected, don't perform get_user_pages(), just use the kernel address
      provided by the requester to copy from/to the userspace filesystem.

      mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match fault · c2ec175c
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Change the page_mkwrite prototype to take a struct vm_fault, and return
      VM_FAULT_xxx flags.  There should be no functional change.
      
      This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to
      the VM (and also can provide more information eg.  virtual_address to the
      driver, which might be important in some special cases).
      
      This is required for a subsequent fix.  And will also make it easier to
      merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

      fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fix · 54566b2c
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
      could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
      allocations happened.  They are done in write_begin, which would always
      assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim.  This bug could
      cause filesystem deadlocks.
      
      The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
      allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
      called.  It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
      take the page lock.  The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
      anyway, so turn that into a single flag.
      
      Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS.  Filesystems can now act on
      this flag in their write_begin function.  Change __grab_cache_page to
      accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
      change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
      and does away with random leading underscores).
      
      This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
      filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
      ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
      GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg.  ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
      random example).
