Server responds to LOOKUP and other ops (READDIRPLUS/CREATE/MKNOD/...)
with ourarg containing nodeid and generation.
If a fuse inode is found in inode cache with the same nodeid but different
generation, the existing fuse inode should be unhashed and marked "bad" and
a new inode with the new generation should be hashed instead.
This can happen, for example, with passhrough fuse filesystem that returns
the real filesystem ino/generation on lookup and where real inode numbers
can get recycled due to real files being unlinked not via the fuse
passthrough filesystem.
With current code, this situation will not be detected and an old fuse
dentry that used to point to an older generation real inode, can be used to
access a completely new inode, which should be accessed only via the new
dentry.
Note that because the FORGET message carries the nodeid w/o generation, the
server should wait to get FORGET counts for the nlookup counts of the old
and reused inodes combined, before it can free the resources associated to
that nodeid.

The creation of a submount is open-coded in fuse_dentry_automount().
This brings a lot of complexity and we recently had to fix bugs
because we weren't setting SB_BORN or because we were unlocking
sb->s_umount before sb was fully configured. Most of these could
have been avoided by using the mount API instead of open-coding.
Basically, this means coming up with a proper ->get_tree()
implementation for submounts and call vfs_get_tree(), or better
fc_mount().
The creation of the superblock for submounts is quite different from
the root mount. Especially, it doesn't require to allocate a FUSE
filesystem context, nor to parse parameters.
Introduce a dedicated context ops for submounts to make this clear.
This is just a placeholder for now, fuse_get_tree_submount() will
be populated in a subsequent patch.
Only visible change is that we stop allocating/freeing a useless FUSE
filesystem context with submounts.

Even if POSIX doesn't mandate it, linux users legitimately expect sync() to
flush all data and metadata to physical storage when it is located on the
same system. This isn't happening with virtiofs though: sync() inside the
guest returns right away even though data still needs to be flushed from
the host page cache.
This is easily demonstrated by doing the following in the guest:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/foo bs=1M count=5K ; strace -T -e sync sync
5120+0 records in
5120+0 records out
5368709120 bytes (5.4 GB, 5.0 GiB) copied, 5.22224 s, 1.0 GB/s
sync() = 0 <0.024068>
and start the following in the host when the 'dd' command completes
in the guest:
$ strace -T -e fsync /usr/bin/sync virtiofs/foo
fsync(3) = 0 <10.371640>
There are no good reasons not to honor the expected behavior of sync()
actually: it gives an unrealistic impression that virtiofs is super fast
and that data has safely landed on HW, which isn't the case obviously.
Implement a ->sync_fs() superblock operation that sends a new FUSE_SYNCFS
request type for this purpose. Provision a 64-bit placeholder for possible
future extensions. Since the file server cannot handle the wait == 0 case,
we skip it to avoid a gratuitous roundtrip. Note that this is
per-superblock: a FUSE_SYNCFS is send for the root mount and for each
submount.
Like with FUSE_FSYNC and FUSE_FSYNCDIR, lack of support for FUSE_SYNCFS in
the file server is treated as permanent success. This ensures
compatibility with older file servers: the client will get the current
behavior of sync() not being propagated to the file server.
Note that such an operation allows the file server to DoS sync(). Since a
typical FUSE file server is an untrusted piece of software running in
userspace, this is disabled by default. Only enable it with virtiofs for
now since virtiofsd is supposedly trusted by the guest kernel.

If an incoming FUSE request can't fit on the virtqueue, the request is
placed onto a workqueue so a worker can try to resubmit it later where
there will (hopefully) be space for it next time.
This is fine for requests that aren't larger than a virtqueue's maximum
capacity. However, if a request's size exceeds the maximum capacity of the
virtqueue (even if the virtqueue is empty), it will be doomed to a life of
being placed on the workqueue, removed, discovered it won't fit, and placed
on the workqueue yet again.
Furthermore, from section 2.6.5.3.1 (Driver Requirements: Indirect
Descriptors) of the virtio spec:
"A driver MUST NOT create a descriptor chain longer than the Queue
Size of the device."
To fix this, limit the number of pages FUSE will use for an overall
request. This way, each request can realistically fit on the virtqueue
when it is decomposed into a scattergather list and avoid violating section
2.6.5.3.1 of the virtio spec.

There are two modes for write(2) and friends in fuse:
a) write through (update page cache, send sync WRITE request to userspace)
b) buffered write (update page cache, async writeout later)
The write through method kept all the page cache pages locked that were
used for the request. Keeping more than one page locked is deadlock prone
and Qian Cai demonstrated this with trinity fuzzing.
The reason for keeping the pages locked is that concurrent mapped reads
shouldn't try to pull possibly stale data into the page cache.
For full page writes, the easy way to fix this is to make the cached page
be the authoritative source by marking the page PG_uptodate immediately.
After this the page can be safely unlocked, since mapped/cached reads will
take the written data from the cache.
Concurrent mapped writes will now cause data in the original WRITE request
to be updated; this however doesn't cause any data inconsistency and this
scenario should be exceedingly rare anyway.
If the WRITE request returns with an error in the above case, currently the
page is not marked uptodate; this means that a concurrent read will always
read consistent data. After this patch the page is uptodate between
writing to the cache and receiving the error: there's window where a cached
read will read the wrong data. While theoretically this could be a
regression, it is unlikely to be one in practice, since this is normal for
buffered writes.
In case of a partial page write to an already uptodate page the locking is
also unnecessary, with the above caveats.
Partial write of a not uptodate page still needs to be handled. One way
would be to read the complete page before doing the write. This is not
possible, since it might break filesystems that don't expect any READ
requests when the file was opened O_WRONLY.
The other solution is to serialize the synchronous write with reads from
the partial pages. The easiest way to do this is to keep the partial pages
locked. The problem is that a write() may involve two such pages (one head
and one tail). This patch fixes it by only locking the partial tail page.
If there's a partial head page as well, then split that off as a separate
WRITE request.

Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A
filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user
namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for
additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to
translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all
relevant helpers in earlier patches.
As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of
introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly
mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.

Jan Kara's analysis of the syzbot report (edited):
The reproducer opens a directory on FUSE filesystem, it then attaches
dnotify mark to the open directory. After that a fuse_do_getattr() call
finds that attributes returned by the server are inconsistent, and calls
make_bad_inode() which, among other things does:
inode->i_mode = S_IFREG;
This then confuses dnotify which doesn't tear down its structures
properly and eventually crashes.
Avoid calling make_bad_inode() on a live inode: switch to a private flag on
the fuse inode. Also add the test to ops which the bad_inode_ops would
have caught.

We already have FUSE_HANDLE_KILLPRIV flag that says that file server will
remove suid/sgid/caps on truncate/chown/write. But that's little different
from what Linux VFS implements.
To be consistent with Linux VFS behavior what we want is.
- caps are always cleared on chown/write/truncate
- suid is always cleared on chown, while for truncate/write it is cleared
only if caller does not have CAP_FSETID.
- sgid is always cleared on chown, while for truncate/write it is cleared
only if caller does not have CAP_FSETID as well as file has group execute
permission.
As previous flag did not provide above semantics. Implement a V2 of the
protocol with above said constraints.
Server does not know if caller has CAP_FSETID or not. So for the case
of write()/truncate(), client will send information in special flag to
indicate whether to kill priviliges or not. These changes are in subsequent
patches.
FUSE_HANDLE_KILLPRIV_V2 relies on WRITE being sent to server to clear
suid/sgid/security.capability. But with ->writeback_cache, WRITES are
cached in guest. So it is not recommended to use FUSE_HANDLE_KILLPRIV_V2
and writeback_cache together. Though it probably might be good enough
for lot of use cases.

FUSE servers can indicate crossmount points by setting FUSE_ATTR_SUBMOUNT
in fuse_attr.flags. The inode will then be marked as S_AUTOMOUNT, and the
.d_automount implementation creates a new submount at that location, so
that the submount gets a distinct st_dev value.
Note that all submounts get a distinct superblock and a distinct st_dev
value, so for virtio-fs, even if the same filesystem is mounted more than
once on the host, none of its mount points will have the same st_dev. We
need distinct superblocks because the superblock points to the root node,
but the different host mounts may show different trees (e.g. due to
submounts in some of them, but not in others).
Right now, this behavior is only enabled when fuse_conn.auto_submounts is

We need to take care only to perform connection-level actions once (i.e.

when the last fuse_mount and thus the fuse_conn are destroyed). For
example, fuse_sb_destroy() must invoke fuse_send_destroy() until the

Currently in fuse we don't seem have any lock which can serialize fault
path with truncate/punch_hole path. With dax support I need one for
following reasons.
1. Dax requirement
DAX fault code relies on inode size being stable for the duration of
fault and want to serialize with truncate/punch_hole and they explicitly
mention it.
static vm_fault_t dax_iomap_pmd_fault(struct vm_fault *vmf, pfn_t *pfnp,
const struct iomap_ops *ops)
/*
* Check whether offset isn't beyond end of file now. Caller is
* supposed to hold locks serializing us with truncate / punch hole so
* this is a reliable test.
*/
max_pgoff = DIV_ROUND_UP(i_size_read(inode), PAGE_SIZE);
2. Make sure there are no users of pages being truncated/punch_hole
get_user_pages() might take references to page and then do some DMA
to said pages. Filesystem might truncate those pages without knowing
that a DMA is in progress or some I/O is in progress. So use
dax_layout_busy_page() to make sure there are no such references
and I/O is not in progress on said pages before moving ahead with
truncation.
3. Limitation of kvm page fault error reporting
If we are truncating file on host first and then removing mappings in
guest lateter (truncate page cache etc), then this could lead to a
problem with KVM. Say a mapping is in place in guest and truncation
happens on host. Now if guest accesses that mapping, then host will
take a fault and kvm will either exit to qemu or spin infinitely.
IOW, before we do truncation on host, we need to make sure that guest
inode does not have any mapping in that region or whole file.
4. virtiofs memory range reclaim
Soon I will introduce the notion of being able to reclaim dax memory
ranges from a fuse dax inode. There also I need to make sure that
no I/O or fault is going on in the reclaimed range and nobody is using
it so that range can be reclaimed without issues.
Currently if we take inode lock, that serializes read/write. But it does
not do anything for faults. So I add another semaphore fuse_inode->i_mmap_sem
for this purpose. It can be used to serialize with faults.
As of now, I am adding taking this semaphore only in dax fault path and
not regular fault path because existing code does not have one. May
be existing code can benefit from it as well to take care of some
races, but that we can fix later if need be. For now, I am just focussing
only on DAX path which is new path.
Also added logic to take fuse_inode->i_mmap_sem in
truncate/punch_hole/open(O_TRUNC) path to make sure file truncation and
fuse dax fault are mutually exlusive and avoid all the above problems.

- Process B is holding page lock and waiting for pending writes to

- Write requests are waiting in virtqueue and can't complete because

Add a basic file system module for virtio-fs. This does not yet contain
shared data support between host and guest or metadata coherency speedups.
However it is already significantly faster than virtio-9p.
Design Overview
===============
With the goal of designing something with better performance and local file
system semantics, a bunch of ideas were proposed.
- Use fuse protocol (instead of 9p) for communication between guest and
host. Guest kernel will be fuse client and a fuse server will run on
host to serve the requests.
- For data access inside guest, mmap portion of file in QEMU address space
and guest accesses this memory using dax. That way guest page cache is
bypassed and there is only one copy of data (on host). This will also
enable mmap(MAP_SHARED) between guests.
- For metadata coherency, there is a shared memory region which contains
version number associated with metadata and any guest changing metadata
updates version number and other guests refresh metadata on next access.
This is yet to be implemented.
How virtio-fs differs from existing approaches
==============================================
The unique idea behind virtio-fs is to take advantage of the co-location of
the virtual machine and hypervisor to avoid communication (vmexits).
DAX allows file contents to be accessed without communication with the
hypervisor. The shared memory region for metadata avoids communication in
the common case where metadata is unchanged.
By replacing expensive communication with cheaper shared memory accesses,
we expect to achieve better performance than approaches based on network
file system protocols. In addition, this also makes it easier to achieve
local file system semantics (coherency).
These techniques are not applicable to network file system protocols since
the communications channel is bypassed by taking advantage of shared memory
on a local machine. This is why we decided to build virtio-fs rather than
focus on 9P or NFS.
Caching Modes
=============
Like virtio-9p, different caching modes are supported which determine the
coherency level as well. The “cache=FOO” and “writeback” options control
the level of coherence between the guest and host filesystems.
- cache=none
metadata, data and pathname lookup are not cached in guest. They are
always fetched from host and any changes are immediately pushed to host.
- cache=always
metadata, data and pathname lookup are cached in guest and never expire.
- cache=auto
metadata and pathname lookup cache expires after a configured amount of
time (default is 1 second). Data is cached while the file is open
(close to open consistency).
- writeback/no_writeback
These options control the writeback strategy. If writeback is disabled,
then normal writes will immediately be synchronized with the host fs.
If writeback is enabled, then writes may be cached in the guest until
the file is closed or an fsync(2) performed. This option has no effect
on mmap-ed writes or writes going through the DAX mechanism.

As of now fuse_dev_alloc() both allocates a fuse device and installs it in
fuse_conn list. fuse_dev_alloc() can fail if fuse_device allocation fails.
virtio-fs needs to initialize multiple fuse devices (one per virtio queue).
It initializes one fuse device as part of call to fuse_fill_super_common()
and rest of the devices are allocated and installed after that.
But, we can't afford to fail after calling fuse_fill_super_common() as we
don't have a way to undo all the actions done by fuse_fill_super_common().
So to avoid failures after the call to fuse_fill_super_common(),
pre-allocate all fuse devices early and install them into fuse connection
later.
This patch provides two separate helpers for fuse device allocation and
fuse device installation in fuse_conn.

The /dev/fuse device uses fiq->waitq and fasync to signal that requests are
available. These mechanisms do not apply to virtio-fs. This patch
introduces callbacks so alternative behavior can be used.
Note that queue_interrupt() changes along these lines:
spin_lock(&fiq->waitq.lock);
wake_up_locked(&fiq->waitq);
+ kill_fasync(&fiq->fasync, SIGIO, POLL_IN);
spin_unlock(&fiq->waitq.lock);
- kill_fasync(&fiq->fasync, SIGIO, POLL_IN);
Since queue_request() and queue_forget() also call kill_fasync() inside
the spinlock this should be safe.

fuse_fill_super() includes code to process the fd= option and link the
struct fuse_dev to the fd's struct file. In virtio-fs there is no file
descriptor because /dev/fuse is not used.
This patch extracts fuse_fill_super_common() so that both classic fuse and
virtio-fs can share the code to initialize a mount.

File systems like virtio-fs need to do not have to play directly with
forget list data structures. There is a helper function use that instead.
Rename dequeue_forget() to fuse_dequeue_forget() and export it so that
stacked filesystems can use it.
