2020-11-12Enable passthrough mode for read/write operationsAlessio Balsini
Add support for filesystem passthrough read/write of files. When the FUSE_PASSTHROUGH capability is enabled, the FUSE daemon may decide while handling the "open" or "create" operation, if the given file can be accessed by that process in "passthrough" mode, meaning that all the further read and write operations would be forwarded by the kernel directly to the lower filesystem rather than to the FUSE daemon. All requests that aren't read or write are still handled by the userspace code. This allows for an improved performance on reads and writes, especially in the case of reads at random offsets, for which no (readahead) caching mechanism would help, reducing the performance gap between FUSE and native filesystem access. Extend also the passthrough_hp example with the new passthrough feature.

At least on Linux kernel 4.9, a value of zero gives more than 1-sec accuracy.

When changes always come through kernel, timeouts should be large.

The FUSE_CAP_ATOMIC_IO_TRUNC capability is enabled by default, but we didn't update the open() documentation accordingly.

2016-10-27Add max_read to fuse_conn_infoNikolaus Rath
Eventually, this setting should be negotiated in the filesystem's init() handler (like e.g. max_write). However, this requires corresponding changes in the FUSE kernel module. In preparation for this (and to allow a transition period) we already allow (and require) filesystems to set the value in the init() handler in addition to the mount option. The end-goal is tracked in issue #91.

2016-10-20Removed all "Introduced in..." commentsNikolaus Rath
Since FUSE 3 is breaking backwards compatibility, this really does not matter.
2016-10-15Unify handling of fuse_conn_info optionsNikolaus Rath
Instead of using command line options to modify struct fuse_conn_info before and after calling the init() handler, we now give the file system explicit control over this.
2016-10-13do_init(): treat command line options consistentlyNikolaus Rath
Previously, some command line options would change the FUSE defaults but leave the final value to the file systems `init` handler while others would override any changes made by `init`. Now, command line options do both: they modify the default, *and* take precedence.
2016-10-10Removed 'async_read' field in fuse_conn_infoNikolaus Rath
This is redundant with the capability flags in `wants` and `capable`.
2016-10-08Removed ``-o big_writes`` optionNikolaus Rath
This option is obsolete and should always be enabled. File systems that want to limit the size of write requests should use the ``-o max_write=<N>`` option instead.
2016-10-02Don't handle --help and --version in fuse_session_new().Nikolaus Rath
Help and version messages can be generated using the new fuse_lowlevel_help(), fuse_lowlevel_version(), fuse_mount_help(), and fuse_mount_version() functions. The fuse_parse_cmdline() function has been made more powerful to do this automatically, and is now explicitly intended only for low-level API users. This is a code simplication patch. We don't have to parse for --help and --version in quite as many places, and we no longer have a low-level initialization function be responsible for the (super-high level) task of printing a program usage message. In the high-level API, we can now handle the command line parsing earlier and avoid running other initialization code if we're just going to abort later on.
2016-10-02Turn struct fuse_chan into an implementation detailNikolaus Rath
The only struct fuse_chan that's accessible to the user application is the "master" channel that is returned by fuse_mount and stored in struct fuse_session. When using the multi-threaded main loop with the "clone_fd" option, each worker thread gets its own struct fuse_chan. However, none of these are available to the user application, nor do they hold references to struct fuse_session (the pointer is always null). Therefore, any presence of struct fuse_chan can be removed without loss of functionality by relying on struct fuse_session instead. This reduces the number of API functions and removes a potential source of confusion (since the new API no longer looks as if it might be possible to add multiple channels to one session, or to share one channel between multiple sessions). Fixes issue #17.

2016-03-29Whitespace cleanup.Nikolaus Rath
Applied (whitespace-cleanup) to each file. Having whitespace changes in the VCS is ugly, but it ensures that in the future committers can run this function to *avoid* commiting any whitespace.
