797759aaf3 fuse: don't use inode in fuse_file_poll
Use ff->fc and ff->nodeid instead of file->f_dentry->d_inode in the
fuse_file_poll() implementation.

This prepares this function for use by CUSE, where the inode is not

Move setting ff->fh, ff->nodeid and file->private_data outside

This simplifies the argument passing to fuse_finish_open() and

c2ec175c39 mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match fault
Change the page_mkwrite prototype to take a struct vm_fault, and return
VM_FAULT_xxx flags.  There should be no functional change.

This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to
the VM (and also can provide more information eg.  virtual_address to the
driver, which might be important in some special cases).

This is required for a subsequent fix.  And will also make it easier to
merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

26c3679101 fuse: destroy bdi on umount
If a fuse filesystem is unmounted but the device file descriptor
remains open and a new mount reuses the old device number, then the
mount fails with EEXIST and the following warning is printed in the
kernel log:

  WARNING: at fs/sysfs/dir.c:462 sysfs_add_one+0x35/0x3d()
  sysfs: duplicate filename '0:15' can not be created

The cause is that the bdi belonging to the fuse filesystem was
destoryed only after the device file was released.  Fix this by
calling bdi_destroy() from fuse_put_super() instead.

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).

Implement poll support.  Polled files are indexed using kh in a RB

Client should send FUSE_NOTIFY_POLL notification once after processing
FUSE_POLL which has FUSE_POLL_SCHEDULE_NOTIFY set.  Sending
notification unconditionally after the latest poll or everytime file
content might have changed is inefficient but won't cause malfunction.

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.

As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync()

So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in
file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set.  And lose that
crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we
don't have to bother anymore.

a447c09324 vfs: Use const for kernel parser table
This is a much better version of a previous patch to make the parser
tables constant. Rather than changing the typedef, we put the "const" in
all the various places where its required, allowing the __initconst
exception for nfsroot which was the cause of the previous trouble.

This was posted for review some time ago and I believe its been in -mm
since then.

a110343f0d [PATCH] fix MAY_CHDIR/MAY_ACCESS/LOOKUP_ACCESS mess
* MAY_CHDIR is redundant - it's an equivalent of MAY_ACCESS
* MAY_ACCESS on fuse should affect only the last step of pathname resolution
* fchdir() and chroot() should pass MAY_ACCESS, for the same reason why
  chdir() needs that.
* now that we pass MAY_ACCESS explicitly in all cases, LOOKUP_ACCESS can be
  removed; it has no business being in nameidata.
