b0aa760652 fuse: Trust kernel i_mtime only
Let the kernel maintain i_mtime locally:
 - clear S_NOCMTIME
 - implement i_op->update_time()
 - flush mtime on fsync and last close
 - update i_mtime explicitly on truncate and fallocate

Fuse inode flag FUSE_I_MTIME_DIRTY serves as indication that local i_mtime
should be flushed to the server eventually.

8373200b12 fuse: Trust kernel i_size only
Make fuse think that when writeback is on the inode's i_size is always
up-to-date and not update it with the value received from the userspace.
This is done because the page cache code may update i_size without letting
the FS know.

This assumption implies fixing the previously introduced short-read helper --
when a short read occurs the 'hole' is filled with zeroes.

fuse_file_fallocate() is also fixed because now we should keep i_size up to
date, so it must be updated if FUSE_FALLOCATE request succeeded.

9fe55eea7e Fix race when checking i_size on direct i/o read
So far I've had one ACK for this, and no other comments. So I think it
is probably time to send this via some suitable tree. I'm guessing that
the vfs tree would be the most appropriate route, but not sure that
there is one at the moment (don't see anything recent at kernel.org)
so in that case I think -mm is the "back up plan". Al, please let me
know if you will take this?

Steve.

---------------------

Following on from the "Re: [PATCH v3] vfs: fix a bug when we do some dio
reads with append dio writes" thread on linux-fsdevel, this patch is my
current version of the fix proposed as option (b) in that thread.

Removing the i_size test from the direct i/o read path at vfs level
means that filesystems now have to deal with requests which are beyond
i_size themselves. These I've divided into three sets:

 a) Those with "no op" ->direct_IO (9p, cifs, ceph)
These are obviously not going to be an issue

 b) Those with "home brew" ->direct_IO (nfs, fuse)
I've been told that NFS should not have any problem with the larger
i_size, however I've added an extra test to FUSE to duplicate the
original behaviour just to be on the safe side.

 c) Those using __blockdev_direct_IO()
These call through to ->get_block() which should deal with the EOF
condition correctly. I've verified that with GFS2 and I believe that
Zheng has verified it for ext4. I've also run the test on XFS and it
passes both before and after this change.

The part of the patch in filemap.c looks a lot larger than it really is
- there are only two lines of real change. The rest is just indentation
of the contained code.

There remains a test of i_size though, which was added for btrfs. It
doesn't cause the other filesystems a problem as the test is performed
after ->direct_IO has been called. It is possible that there is a race
that does matter to btrfs, however this patch doesn't change that, so
its still an overall improvement.

7678ac5061 fuse: support clients that don't implement 'open'
open/release operations require userspace transitions to keep track
of the open count and to perform any FS-specific setup.  However,
for some purely read-only FSs which don't need to perform any setup
at open/release time, we can avoid the performance overhead of
calling into userspace for open/release calls.

This patch adds the necessary support to the fuse kernel modules to prevent
open/release operations from hitting in userspace. When the client returns
ENOSYS, we avoid sending the subsequent release to userspace, and also
remember this so that future opens also don't trigger a userspace
operation.

BDI_WRITTEN counter is used to estimate bdi bandwidth.  It must be
incremented every time as bdi ends page writeback.  No matter whether it

Note that even before writepages patches, the case "Got truncated off

6eaf4782eb fuse: writepages: crop secondary requests
If writeback happens while fuse is in FUSE_NOWRITE condition, the request
will be queued but not processed immediately (see fuse_flush_writepages()).
Until FUSE_NOWRITE becomes relaxed, more writebacks can happen.  They will
be queued as "secondary" requests to that first ("primary") request.

Existing implementation crops only primary request.  This is not correct
because a subsequent extending write(2) may increase i_size and then
secondary requests won't be cropped properly.  The result would be stale
data written to the server to a file offset where zeros must be.

Similar problem may happen if secondary requests are attached to an
in-flight request that was already cropped.

The patch solves the issue by cropping all secondary requests in
fuse_writepage_end().  Thanks to Miklos for idea.

8b284dc472 fuse: writepages: handle same page rewrites
As Maxim Patlasov pointed out, it's possible to get a dirty page while it's
copy is still under writeback, despite fuse_page_mkwrite() doing its thing
(direct IO).

This could result in two concurrent write request for the same offset, with
data corruption if they get mixed up.

To prevent this, fuse needs to check and delay such writes.  This
implementation does this by:

 1. check if page is still under writeout, if so create a new, single page
    secondary request for it

 2. chain this secondary request onto the in-flight request

 2/a. if a seconday request for the same offset was already chained to the
    in-flight request, then just copy the contents of the page and discard
    the new secondary request.  This makes sure that for each page will
    have at most two requests associated with it

 3. when the in-flight request finished, send off all secondary requests
    chained onto it

2d033eaa00 fuse: fix race in fuse_writepages()
The patch fixes a race between ftruncate(2), mmap-ed write and write(2):

1) An user makes a page dirty via mmap-ed write.
2) The user performs shrinking truncate(2) intended to purge the page.
3) Before fuse_do_setattr calls truncate_pagecache, the page goes to
   writeback. fuse_writepages_fill attaches a new page to FUSE_WRITE request,
   then releases the original page by end_page_writeback and unlock it.
4) fuse_do_setattr completes and successfully returns. Since now, i_mutex
   is free.
5) Ordinary write(2) extends i_size back to cover the page. Note that
   fuse_send_write_pages do wait for fuse writeback, but for another
   page->index.
6) fuse_writepages_fill attaches more pages to the request (if any), then
   fuse_writepages_send is eventually called. It is supposed to crop
   inarg->size of the request, but it doesn't because i_size has already been
   extended back.

Moving end_page_writeback behind fuse_writepages_send guarantees that
__fuse_release_nowrite (called from fuse_do_setattr) will crop inarg->size
of the request before write(2) gets the chance to extend i_size.

bde52788bd fuse: wait for writeback in fuse_file_fallocate()
The patch fixes a race between mmap-ed write and fallocate(PUNCH_HOLE):

1) An user makes a page dirty via mmap-ed write.
2) The user performs fallocate(2) with mode == PUNCH_HOLE|KEEP_SIZE
   and <offset, size> covering the page.
3) Before truncate_pagecache_range call from fuse_file_fallocate,
   the page goes to write-back. The page is fully processed by fuse_writepage
   (including end_page_writeback on the page), but fuse_flush_writepages did
   nothing because fi->writectr < 0.
4) truncate_pagecache_range is called and fuse_file_fallocate is finishing
   by calling fuse_release_nowrite. The latter triggers processing queued
   write-back request which will write stale data to the hole soon.

Changed in v2 (thanks to Brian for suggestion):
 - Do not truncate page cache until FUSE_FALLOCATE succeeded. Otherwise,
   we can end up in returning -ENOTSUPP while user data is already punched
   from page cache. Use filemap_write_and_wait_range() instead.
Changed in v3 (thanks to Miklos for suggestion):
 - fuse_wait_on_writeback() is prone to livelocks; use fuse_set_nowrite()
   instead. So far as we need a dirty-page barrier only, fuse_sync_writes()
   should be enough.
 - rebased to for-linus branch of fuse.git

06a7c3c278 fuse: hotfix truncate_pagecache() issue
The way how fuse calls truncate_pagecache() from fuse_change_attributes()
is completely wrong. Because, w/o i_mutex held, we never sure whether
'oldsize' and 'attr->size' are valid by the time of execution of
truncate_pagecache(inode, oldsize, attr->size). In fact, as soon as we
released fc->lock in the middle of fuse_change_attributes(), we completely
loose control of actions which may happen with given inode until we reach
truncate_pagecache. The list of potentially dangerous actions includes
mmap-ed reads and writes, ftruncate(2) and write(2) extending file size.

The typical outcome of doing truncate_pagecache() with outdated arguments
is data corruption from user point of view. This is (in some sense)
acceptable in cases when the issue is triggered by a change of the file on
the server (i.e. externally wrt fuse operation), but it is absolutely
intolerable in scenarios when a single fuse client modifies a file without
any external intervention. A real life case I discovered by fsx-linux
looked like this:

1. Shrinking ftruncate(2) comes to fuse_do_setattr(). The latter sends
FUSE_SETATTR to the server synchronously, but before getting fc->lock ...
2. fuse_dentry_revalidate() is asynchronously called. It sends FUSE_LOOKUP
to the server synchronously, then calls fuse_change_attributes(). The
latter updates i_size, releases fc->lock, but before comparing oldsize vs
attr->size..
3. fuse_do_setattr() from the first step proceeds by acquiring fc->lock and
updating attributes and i_size, but now oldsize is equal to
outarg.attr.size because i_size has just been updated (step 2). Hence,
fuse_do_setattr() returns w/o calling truncate_pagecache().
4. As soon as ftruncate(2) completes, the user extends file size by
write(2) making a hole in the middle of file, then reads data from the hole
either by read(2) or mmap-ed read. The user expects to get zero data from
the hole, but gets stale data because truncate_pagecache() is not executed
yet.

The scenario above illustrates one side of the problem: not truncating the
page cache even though we should. Another side corresponds to truncating
page cache too late, when the state of inode changed significantly.
Theoretically, the following is possible:

1. As in the previous scenario fuse_dentry_revalidate() discovered that
i_size changed (due to our own fuse_do_setattr()) and is going to call
truncate_pagecache() for some 'new_size' it believes valid right now. But
by the time that particular truncate_pagecache() is called ...
2. fuse_do_setattr() returns (either having called truncate_pagecache() or
not -- it doesn't matter).
3. The file is extended either by write(2) or ftruncate(2) or fallocate(2).
4. mmap-ed write makes a page in the extended region dirty.

The result will be the lost of data user wrote on the fourth step.

The patch is a hotfix resolving the issue in a simplistic way: let's skip
dangerous i_size update and truncate_pagecache if an operation changing
file size is in progress. This simplistic approach looks correct for the
cases w/o external changes. And to handle them properly, more sophisticated
and intrusive techniques (e.g. NFS-like one) would be required. I'd like to
postpone it until the issue is well discussed on the mailing list(s).

Changed in v2:
 - improved patch description to cover both sides of the issue.

4a4ac4eba1 fuse: postpone end_page_writeback() in fuse_writepage_locked()
The patch fixes a race between ftruncate(2), mmap-ed write and write(2):

1) An user makes a page dirty via mmap-ed write.
2) The user performs shrinking truncate(2) intended to purge the page.
3) Before fuse_do_setattr calls truncate_pagecache, the page goes to
   writeback. fuse_writepage_locked fills FUSE_WRITE request and releases
   the original page by end_page_writeback.
4) fuse_do_setattr() completes and successfully returns. Since now, i_mutex
   is free.
5) Ordinary write(2) extends i_size back to cover the page. Note that
   fuse_send_write_pages do wait for fuse writeback, but for another
   page->index.
6) fuse_writepage_locked proceeds by queueing FUSE_WRITE request.
   fuse_send_writepage is supposed to crop inarg->size of the request,
   but it doesn't because i_size has already been extended back.

Moving end_page_writeback to the end of fuse_writepage_locked fixes the
race because now the fact that truncate_pagecache is successfully returned
infers that fuse_writepage_locked has already called end_page_writeback.
And this, in turn, infers that fuse_flush_writepages has already called
fuse_send_writepage, and the latter used valid (shrunk) i_size. write(2)
could not extend it because of i_mutex held by ftruncate(2).

14c14414d1 fuse: hold i_mutex in fuse_file_fallocate()
Changing size of a file on server and local update (fuse_write_update_size)
should be always protected by inode->i_mutex. Otherwise a race like this is
possible:

1. Process 'A' calls fallocate(2) to extend file (~FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE).
fuse_file_fallocate() sends FUSE_FALLOCATE request to the server.
2. Process 'B' calls ftruncate(2) shrinking the file. fuse_do_setattr()
sends shrinking FUSE_SETATTR request to the server and updates local i_size
by i_size_write(inode, outarg.attr.size).
3. Process 'A' resumes execution of fuse_file_fallocate() and calls
fuse_write_update_size(inode, offset + length). But 'offset + length' was
obsoleted by ftruncate from previous step.

Changed in v2 (thanks Brian and Anand for suggestions):
 - made relation between mutex_lock() and fuse_set_nowrite(inode) more
   explicit and clear.
 - updated patch description to use ftruncate(2) in example

e5c5f05dca fuse: fix alignment in short read optimization for async_dio
The bug was introduced with async_dio feature: trying to optimize short reads,
we cut number-of-bytes-to-read to i_size boundary. Hence the following example:

	truncate --size=300 /mnt/file
	dd if=/mnt/file of=/dev/null iflag=direct

led to FUSE_READ request of 300 bytes size. This turned out to be problem
for userspace fuse implementations who rely on assumption that kernel fuse
does not change alignment of request from client FS.

The patch turns off the optimization if async_dio is disabled. And, if it's
enabled, the patch fixes adjustment of number-of-bytes-to-read to preserve
alignment.

Note, that we cannot throw out short read optimization entirely because
otherwise a direct read of a huge size issued on a tiny file would generate
a huge amount of fuse requests and most of them would be ACKed by userspace
with zero bytes read.

c9ecf989cc fuse: return -EIOCBQUEUED from fuse_direct_IO() for all async requests
If request submission fails for an async request (i.e.,
get_user_pages() returns -ERESTARTSYS), we currently skip the
-EIOCBQUEUED return and drop into wait_for_sync_kiocb() forever.

Avoid this by always returning -EIOCBQUEUED for async requests. If
an error occurs, the error is passed into fuse_aio_complete(),
returned via aio_complete() and thus propagated to userspace via
io_getevents().

3634a63278 fuse: truncate pagecache range on hole punch
fuse supports hole punch via the fallocate() FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE
interface. When a hole punch is passed through, the page cache
is not cleared and thus allows reading stale data from the cache.

This is easily demonstrable (using FOPEN_KEEP_CACHE) by reading a
smallish random data file into cache, punching a hole and creating
a copy of the file. Drop caches or remount and observe that the
original file no longer matches the file copied after the hole
punch. The original file contains a zeroed range and the latter
file contains stale data.

Protect against writepage requests in progress and punch out the
associated page cache range after a successful client fs hole
punch.

de82b92301 fuse: allocate for_background dio requests based on io->async state
Commit 8b41e671 introduced explicit background checking for fuse_req
structures with BUG_ON() checks for the appropriate type of request in
in the associated send functions. Commit bcba24cc introduced the ability
to send dio requests as background requests but does not update the
request allocation based on the type of I/O request. As a result, a
BUG_ON() triggers in the fuse_request_send_background() background path if
an async I/O is sent.

Allocate a request based on the async state of the fuse_io_priv to avoid

bcba24ccdc fuse: enable asynchronous processing direct IO
In case of synchronous DIO request (i.e. read(2) or write(2) for a file
opened with O_DIRECT), the patch submits fuse requests asynchronously, but
waits for their completions before return from fuse_direct_IO().

In case of asynchronous DIO request (i.e. libaio io_submit() or a file opened
with O_DIRECT), the patch submits fuse requests asynchronously and return
-EIOCBQUEUED immediately.

The only special case is async DIO extending file. Here the patch falls back
to old behaviour because we can't return -EIOCBQUEUED and update i_size later,
without i_mutex hold. And we have no method to wait on real async I/O
requests.

The patch also clean __fuse_direct_write() up: it's better to update i_size
in its callers. Thanks Brian for suggestion.

01e9d11a3e fuse: add support of async IO
The patch implements a framework to process an IO request asynchronously. The
idea is to associate several fuse requests with a single kiocb by means of
fuse_io_priv structure. The structure plays the same role for FUSE as 'struct
dio' for direct-io.c.

The framework is supposed to be used like this:
 - someone (who wants to process an IO asynchronously) allocates fuse_io_priv
   and initializes it setting 'async' field to non-zero value.
 - as soon as fuse request is filled, it can be submitted (in non-blocking way)
   by fuse_async_req_send()
 - when all submitted requests are ACKed by userspace, io->reqs drops to zero
   triggering aio_complete()

In case of IO initiated by libaio, aio_complete() will finish processing the
same way as in case of dio_complete() calling aio_complete(). But the
framework may be also used for internal FUSE use when initial IO request
was synchronous (from user perspective), but it's beneficial to process it
asynchronously. Then the caller should wait on kiocb explicitly and
aio_complete() will wake the caller up.

starting with a small element.  The obvious fix is to check all the
elements.

The overflow case doesn't look dangerous to the kernel as the copy is
limited by the length after the overflow.  This fix restores the
intention of returning an error instead of successfully copying less
than the iovec represented.

I found this by code inspection.  I built it but don't have a test case.
I'm cc:ing stable because the initial commit did as well.

a8894274a3 fuse: update attributes on aio_read
A fuse-based network filesystem might allow for the inode
and/or file data to change unexpectedly. A local client
that opens and repeatedly reads a file might never pick
up on such changes and indefinitely return stale data.

Always invoke fuse_update_attributes() in the read path
to cause an attr revalidation when the attributes expire.
This leads to a page cache invalidation if necessary and
ensures fuse issues new read requests to the fuse client.

The original logic (reval only on reads beyond EOF) is
preserved unless the client specifies FUSE_AUTO_INVAL_DATA
on init.

c3b2da3148 fs: introduce inode operation ->update_time
Btrfs has to make sure we have space to allocate new blocks in order to modify
the inode, so updating time can fail.  We've gotten around this by having our
own file_update_time but this is kind of a pain, and Christoph has indicated he
would like to make xfs do something different with atime updates.  So introduce
->update_time, where we will deal with i_version an a/m/c time updates and
indicate which changes need to be made.  The normal version just does what it
has always done, updates the time and marks the inode dirty, and then
filesystems can choose to do something different.

I've gone through all of the users of file_update_time and made them check for
errors with the exception of the fault code since it's complicated and I wasn't
quite sure what to do there, also Jan is going to be pushing the file time
updates into page_mkwrite for those who have it so that should satisfy btrfs and
make it not a big deal to check the file_update_time() return code in the
generic fault path. Thanks,

4273b793ec fuse: O_DIRECT support for files
Implement ->direct_IO() method in aops. The ->direct_IO() method combines
the existing fuse_direct_read/fuse_direct_write methods to implement
O_DIRECT functionality.

Reaching ->direct_IO() in the read path via generic_file_aio_read ensures
proper synchronization with page cache with its existing framework.

Reaching ->direct_IO() in the write path via fuse_file_aio_write is made
to come via generic_file_direct_write() which makes it play nice with
the page cache w.r.t other mmap pages etc.

On files marked 'direct_io' by the filesystem server, IO always follows
the fuse_direct_read/write path. There is no effect of fcntl(O_DIRECT)
and it always succeeds.

On files not marked with 'direct_io' by the filesystem server, the IO
path depends on O_DIRECT flag by the application. This can be passed
at the time of open() as well as via fcntl().

Note that asynchronous O_DIRECT iocb jobs are completed synchronously
always (this has been the case with FUSE even before this patch)

37fb3a30b4 fuse: fix flock
Commit a9ff4f87 "fuse: support BSD locking semantics" overlooked a
number of issues with supporing flock locks over existing POSIX
locking infrastructure:

  - it's not backward compatible, passing flock(2) calls to userspace
    unconditionally (if userspace sets FUSE_POSIX_LOCKS)

  - it doesn't cater for the fact that flock locks are automatically
    unlocked on file release

  - it doesn't take into account the fact that flock exclusive locks
    (write locks) don't need an fd opened for write.

The last one invalidates the original premise of the patch that flock
locks can be emulated with POSIX locks.

This patch fixes the first two issues.  The last one needs to be fixed
in userspace if the filesystem assumed that a write lock will happen
only on a file operned for write (as in the case of the current fuse
library).

Work around this by looking at the size of the reply to determine

ce534fb052 fuse: allow splice to move pages
When splicing buffers to the fuse device with SPLICE_F_MOVE, try to
move pages from the pipe buffer into the page cache.  This allows
populating the fuse filesystem's cache without ever touching the page
contents, i.e. zero copy read capability.

The following steps are performed when trying to move a page into the
page cache:

 - buf->ops->confirm() to make sure the new page is uptodate
 - buf->ops->steal() to try to remove the new page from it's previous place
 - remove_from_page_cache() on the old page
 - add_to_page_cache_locked() on the new page

If any of the above steps fail (non fatally) then the code falls back
to copying the page.  In particular ->steal() will fail if there are
external references (other than the page cache and the pipe buffer) to
the page.

Also since the remove_from_page_cache() + add_to_page_cache_locked()
are non-atomic it is possible that the page cache is repopulated in
between the two and add_to_page_cache_locked() will fail.  This could
be fixed by creating a new atomic replace_page_cache_page() function.

fuse_readpages_end() needed to be reworked so it works even if
page->mapping is NULL for some or all pages which can happen if the
add_to_page_cache_locked() failed.

A number of sanity checks were added to make sure the stolen pages
don't have weird flags set, etc...  These could be moved into generic
splice/steal code.

931e80e4b3 mm: flush dcache before writing into page to avoid alias
The cache alias problem will happen if the changes of user shared mapping
is not flushed before copying, then user and kernel mapping may be mapped
into two different cache line, it is impossible to guarantee the coherence
after iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic.  So the right steps should be:

	flush_dcache_page(page);
	kmap_atomic(page);
	write to page;
	kunmap_atomic(page);
	flush_dcache_page(page);

More precisely, we might create two new APIs flush_dcache_user_page and
flush_dcache_kern_page to replace the two flush_dcache_page accordingly.

Here is a snippet tested on omap2430 with VIPT cache, and I think it is
not ARM-specific:

	int val = 0x11111111;
	fd = open("abc", O_RDWR);
	addr = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
	*(addr+0) = 0x44444444;
	tmp = *(addr+0);
	*(addr+1) = 0x77777777;
	write(fd, &val, sizeof(int));
	close(fd);

The results are not always 0x11111111 0x77777777 at the beginning as expected.  Sometimes we see 0x44444444 0x77777777.

54566b2c15 fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fix
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).

59efec7b90 fuse: implement ioctl support
Generic ioctl support is tricky to implement because only the ioctl
implementation itself knows which memory regions need to be read
and/or written.  To support this, fuse client can request retry of
ioctl specifying memory regions to read and write.  Deep copying
(nested pointers) can be implemented by retrying multiple times
resolving one depth of dereference at a time.

For security and cleanliness considerations, ioctl implementation has
restricted mode where the kernel determines data transfer directions
and sizes using the _IOC_*() macros on the ioctl command.  In this
mode, retry is not allowed.

For all FUSE servers, restricted mode is enforced.  Unrestricted ioctl
will be used by CUSE.

Plese read the comment on top of fs/fuse/file.c::fuse_file_do_ioctl()
for more information.

Prior to 2.6.26 fuse only supported single page write requests.  In theory all
fuse filesystem should be able support bigger than 4k writes, as there's
nothing in the API to prevent it.  Unfortunately there's a known case in
NTFS-3G where big writes cause filesystem corruption.  There could also be
other filesystems, where the lack of testing with big write requests would
result in bugs.

To prevent such problems on a kernel upgrade, disable big writes by default,
but let filesystems set a flag to turn it on.

3be5a52b30 fuse: support writable mmap
Quoting Linus (3 years ago, FUSE inclusion discussions):

  "User-space filesystems are hard to get right. I'd claim that they
   are almost impossible, unless you limit them somehow (shared
   writable mappings are the nastiest part - if you don't have those,
   you can reasonably limit your problems by limiting the number of
   dirty pages you accept through normal "write()" calls)."

Instead of attempting the impossible, I've just waited for the dirty page
accounting infrastructure to materialize (thanks to Peter Zijlstra and
others).  This nicely solved the biggest problem: limiting the number of pages
used for write caching.

Some small details remained, however, which this largish patch attempts to
address.  It provides a page writeback implementation for fuse, which is
completely safe against VM related deadlocks.  Performance may not be very
good for certain usage patterns, but generally it should be acceptable.

It has been tested extensively with fsx-linux and bash-shared-mapping.

Fuse page writeback design
--------------------------

fuse_writepage() allocates a new temporary page with GFP_NOFS|__GFP_HIGHMEM.
It copies the contents of the original page, and queues a WRITE request to the
userspace filesystem using this temp page.

The writeback is finished instantly from the MM's point of view: the page is
removed from the radix trees, and the PageDirty and PageWriteback flags are
cleared.

For the duration of the actual write, the NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP counter is
incremented.  The per-bdi writeback count is not decremented until the actual
write completes.

On dirtying the page, fuse waits for a previous write to finish before
proceeding.  This makes sure, there can only be one temporary page used at a
time for one cached page.

This approach is wasteful in both memory and CPU bandwidth, so why is this
complication needed?

The basic problem is that there can be no guarantee about the time in which
the userspace filesystem will complete a write.  It may be buggy or even
malicious, and fail to complete WRITE requests.  We don't want unrelated parts
of the system to grind to a halt in such cases.

Also a filesystem may need additional resources (particularly memory) to
complete a WRITE request.  There's a great danger of a deadlock if that
allocation may wait for the writepage to finish.

Currently there are several cases where the kernel can block on page
writeback:

  - allocation order is larger than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER
  - page migration
  - throttle_vm_writeout (through NR_WRITEBACK)
  - sync(2)

Of course in some cases (fsync, msync) we explicitly want to allow blocking.
So for these cases new code has to be added to fuse, since the VM is not
tracking writeback pages for us any more.

As an extra safetly measure, the maximum dirty ratio allocated to a single
fuse filesystem is set to 1% by default.  This way one (or several) buggy or
malicious fuse filesystems cannot slow down the rest of the system by hogging
dirty memory.

With appropriate privileges, this limit can be raised through
'/sys/class/bdi/<bdi>/max_ratio'.
