Merge tag 'fuse-update-6.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/fuse
Pull fuse updates from Miklos Szeredi:
"Add support for io-uring communication between kernel and userspace
using IORING_OP_URING_CMD (Bernd Schubert). Following features enable
gains in performance compared to the regular interface:
- Allow processing multiple requests with less syscall overhead
- Combine commit of old and fetch of new fuse request
- CPU/NUMA affinity of queues
Patches were reviewed by several people, including Pavel Begunkov,
io-uring co-maintainer"

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +======================================= +FUSE-over-io-uring design documentation +======================================= + +This documentation covers basic details how the fuse +kernel/userspace communication through io-uring is configured +and works. For generic details about FUSE see fuse.rst. + +This document also covers the current interface, which is +still in development and might change. + +Limitations +=========== +As of now not all requests types are supported through io-uring, userspace +is required to also handle requests through /dev/fuse after io-uring setup +is complete. Specifically notifications (initiated from the daemon side) +and interrupts. + +Fuse io-uring configuration +=========================== + +Fuse kernel requests are queued through the classical /dev/fuse +read/write interface - until io-uring setup is complete. + +In order to set up fuse-over-io-uring fuse-server (user-space) +needs to submit SQEs (opcode = IORING_OP_URING_CMD) to the /dev/fuse +connection file descriptor. Initial submit is with the sub command +FUSE_URING_REQ_REGISTER, which will just register entries to be +available in the kernel. + +Once at least one entry per queue is submitted, kernel starts +to enqueue to ring queues. +Note, every CPU core has its own fuse-io-uring queue. +Userspace handles the CQE/fuse-request and submits the result as +subcommand FUSE_URING_REQ_COMMIT_AND_FETCH - kernel completes +the requests and also marks the entry available again. If there are +pending requests waiting the request will be immediately submitted +to the daemon again. + +Initial SQE +-----------:: + + | | FUSE filesystem daemon + | | + | | >io_uring_submit() + | | IORING_OP_URING_CMD / + | | FUSE_URING_CMD_REGISTER + | | [wait cqe] + | | >io_uring_wait_cqe() or + | | >io_uring_submit_and_wait() + | | + | >fuse_uring_cmd() | + | >fuse_uring_register() | + + +Sending requests with CQEs +--------------------------:: + + | | FUSE filesystem daemon + | | [waiting for CQEs] + | "rm /mnt/fuse/file" | + | | + | >sys_unlink() | + | >fuse_unlink() | + | [allocate request] | + | >fuse_send_one() | + | ... | + | >fuse_uring_queue_fuse_req | + | [queue request on fg queue] | + | >fuse_uring_add_req_to_ring_ent() | + | ... | + | >fuse_uring_copy_to_ring() | + | >io_uring_cmd_done() | + | >request_wait_answer() | + | [sleep on req->waitq] | + | | [receives and handles CQE] + | | [submit result and fetch next] + | | >io_uring_submit() + | | IORING_OP_URING_CMD/ + | | FUSE_URING_CMD_COMMIT_AND_FETCH + | >fuse_uring_cmd() | + | >fuse_uring_commit_fetch() | + | >fuse_uring_commit() | + | >fuse_uring_copy_from_ring() | + | [ copy the result to the fuse req] | + | >fuse_uring_req_end() | + | >fuse_request_end() | + | [wake up req->waitq] | + | >fuse_uring_next_fuse_req | + | [wait or handle next req] | + | | + | [req->waitq woken up] | + | <fuse_unlink() | + | <sys_unlink() | + + + diff --git a/Documentation/filesystems/index.rst b/Documentation/filesystems/index.rst index 44e9e77ffe0d..2636f2a41bd3 100644 --- a/Documentation/filesystems/index.rst +++ b/Documentation/filesystems/index.rst @@ -98,6 +98,7 @@ Documentation for filesystem implementations. hpfs fuse fuse-io + fuse-io-uring inotify isofs nilfs2 |
