In async IO blocking case the additional reference to the io is taken for
it to survive fuse_aio_complete(). In non blocking case this additional
reference is not needed, however we still reference io to figure out
whether to wait for completion or not. This is wrong and will lead to
use-after-free. Fix it by storing blocking information in separate
variable.
This was spotted by KASAN when running generic/208 fstest.

In current fuse_drop_waiting() implementation it's possible that
fuse_wait_aborted() will not be woken up in the unlikely case that
fuse_abort_conn() + fuse_wait_aborted() runs in between checking
fc->connected and calling atomic_dec(&fc->num_waiting).
Do the atomic_dec_and_test() unconditionally, which also provides the
necessary barrier against reordering with the fc->connected check.
The explicit smp_mb() in fuse_wait_aborted() is not actually needed, since
the spin_unlock() in fuse_abort_conn() provides the necessary RELEASE
barrier after resetting fc->connected. However, this is not a performance
sensitive path, and adding the explicit barrier makes it easier to
document.

FUSE file reads are cached in the page cache, but symlink reads are
not. This patch enables FUSE READLINK operations to be cached which
can improve performance of some FUSE workloads.
In particular, I'm working on a FUSE filesystem for access to source
code and discovered that about a 10% improvement to build times is
achieved with this patch (there are a lot of symlinks in the source

After sending a synchronous READ request from __fuse_direct_read() we only
need to invalidate atime; none of the other attributes should be changed by
a read().
Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
If 'auto_inval_data' mode is active, then fuse_file_read_iter() will call
fuse_update_attributes(), which will check the attribute validity and send
a GETATTR request if some of the attributes are no longer valid. The page
cache is then invalidated if the size or mtime have changed.
Then, if a READ request was sent and reply received (which is the case if
the data wasn't cached yet, or if the file is opened for O_DIRECT), the
atime attribute is invalidated.
This will result in the next read() also triggering a GETATTR, ...
This can be fixed by only sending GETATTR if the mode or size are invalid,
we don't need to do a refresh if only atime is invalid.
More generally, none of the callers of fuse_update_attributes() need an
up-to-date atime value, so for now just remove STATX_ATIME from the request
mask when attributes are updated for internal use.
Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
This patch adds the infrastructure for more fine grained attribute
invalidation. Currently only 'atime' is invalidated separately.
The use of this infrastructure is extended to the statx(2) interface, which
for now means that if only 'atime' is invalid and STATX_ATIME is not
specified in the mask argument, then no GETATTR request will be generated.

Writeback caching currently allocates requests with the maximum number of
possible pages, while the actual number of pages per request depends on a
couple of factors that cannot be determined when the request is allocated
(whether page is already under writeback, whether page is contiguous with
previous pages already added to a request).
This patch allows such requests to start with no page allocation (all pages
inline) and grow the page array on demand.
If the max_pages tunable remains the default value, then this will mean
just one allocation that is the same size as before. If the tunable is
larger, then this adds at most 3 additional memory allocations (which is
generously compensated by the improved performance from the larger
request).

Replace FUSE_MAX_PAGES_PER_REQ with the configurable parameter max_pages to
improve performance.
Old RFC with detailed description of the problem and many fixes by Mitsuo
Hayasaka (mitsuo.hayasaka.hu@hitachi.com):
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/5/136
We've encountered performance degradation and fixed it on a big and complex
virtual environment.
Environment to reproduce degradation and improvement:
1. Add lag to user mode FUSE
Add nanosleep(&(struct timespec){ 0, 1000 }, NULL); to xmp_write_buf in
passthrough_fh.c
2. patch UM fuse with configurable max_pages parameter. The patch will be
provided latter.
3. run test script and perform test on tmpfs
fuse_test()
{
cd /tmp
mkdir -p fusemnt
passthrough_fh -o max_pages=$1 /tmp/fusemnt
grep fuse /proc/self/mounts
dd conv=fdatasync oflag=dsync if=/dev/zero of=fusemnt/tmp/tmp \
count=1K bs=1M 2>&1 | grep -v records
rm fusemnt/tmp/tmp
killall passthrough_fh
}
Test results:
passthrough_fh /tmp/fusemnt fuse.passthrough_fh \
rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0 0 0
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 1.73867 s, 618 MB/s

1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 1.15643 s, 928 MB/s
Obviously with bigger lag the difference between 'before' and 'after'
will be more significant.

When allocating page array for a request the array for the page pointers
and the array for page descriptors are allocated by two separate kmalloc()
calls. Merge these into one allocation.
Also instead of initializing the request and the page arrays with memset(),
use the zeroing allocation variants.
Reserved requests never carry pages (page array size is zero). Make that
explicit by initializing the page array pointers to NULL and make sure the
assumption remains true by adding a WARN_ON().

Allow the cache to be invalidated when page(s) have gone missing. In this
case increment the version of the cache and reset to an empty state.
Add a version number to the directory stream in struct fuse_file as well,

cache version doesn't match the stream's version, then reset the stream to
the beginning of the cache.

The cache is only used if it's completed, not while it's still being
filled; this constraint could be lifted later, if it turns out to be
useful.
Introduce state in struct fuse_file that indicates the position within the
cache. After a seek, reset the position to the beginning of the cache and
search the cache for the current position. If the current position is not
found in the cache, then fall back to uncached readdir.
It can also happen that page(s) disappear from the cache, in which case we
must also fall back to uncached readdir.

This patch just adds the cache filling functions, which are invoked if
FOPEN_CACHE_DIR flag is set in the OPENDIR reply.
Cache reading and cache invalidation are added by subsequent patches.
The directory cache uses the page cache. Directory entries are packed into
a page in the same format as in the READDIR reply. A page only contains
whole entries, the space at the end of the page is cleared. The page is
locked while being modified.
Multiple parallel readdirs on the same directory can fill the cache; the
only constraint is that continuity must be maintained (d_off of last entry
points to position of current entry).
