virtio-fs: Change module name to virtiofs.ko

2019-10-14T08:20:33+00:00

We have been calling it virtio_fs and even file name is virtio_fs.c. Module name is virtio_fs.ko but when registering file system user is supposed to specify filesystem type as "virtiofs". Masayoshi Mizuma reported that he specified filesytem type as "virtio_fs" and got this warning on console. ------------[ cut here ]------------ request_module fs-virtio_fs succeeded, but still no fs? WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1234 at fs/filesystems.c:274 get_fs_type+0x12c/0x138 Modules linked in: ... virtio_fs fuse virtio_net net_failover ... CPU: 1 PID: 1234 Comm: mount Not tainted 5.4.0-rc1 #1 So looks like kernel could find the module virtio_fs.ko but could not find filesystem type after that. It probably is better to rename module name to virtiofs.ko so that above warning goes away in case user ends up specifying wrong fs name.

virtio-fs: add virtiofs filesystem

2019-09-18T18:17:50+00:00

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. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal Acked-by: Michael S.

fuse: Add posix ACL support

2016-10-01T05:32:32+00:00

Add a new INIT flag, FUSE_POSIX_ACL, for negotiating ACL support with userspace. When it is set in the INIT response, ACL support will be enabled. ACL support also implies "default_permissions". When ACL support is enabled, the kernel will cache and have responsibility for enforcing ACLs. ACL xattrs will be passed to userspace, which is responsible for updating the ACLs in the filesystem, keeping the file mode in sync, and inheritance of default ACLs when new filesystem nodes are created.

fuse: Use generic xattr ops

2016-10-01T05:32:32+00:00

In preparation for posix acl support, rework fuse to use xattr handlers and the generic setxattr/getxattr/listxattr callbacks. Split the xattr code out into it's own file, and promote symbols to module-global scope as needed. Functionally these changes have no impact, as fuse still uses a single handler for all xattrs which uses the old callbacks. Signed-off-by: Seth Forshee Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

CUSE: implement CUSE - Character device in Userspace

2009-06-09T09:24:11+00:00

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.

[PATCH] fuse: add control filesystem

2006-06-25T17:01:19+00:00

Add a control filesystem to fuse, replacing the attributes currently exported through sysfs. An empty directory '/sys/fs/fuse/connections' is still created in sysfs, and mounting the control filesystem here provides backward compatibility. Advantages of the control filesystem over the previous solution: - allows the object directory and the attributes to be owned by the filesystem owner, hence letting unpriviled users abort the filesystem connection - does not suffer from module unload race [akpm@osdl.org: fix this fs for recent dhowells depredations] [akpm@osdl.org: fix 64-bit printk warnings] Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
