[PATCH] Add O_ASYNC support to FUSE

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This adds asynchronous notification to FUSE - a FUSE server can
request O_ASYNC on a /dev/fuse file descriptor and receive SIGIO
when there is input available.

One subtlety - fuse_dev_fasync, which is called when O_ASYNC is
requested, does no locking, unlike the other methods.  I think it's
unnecessary, as the fuse_conn.fasync list is manipulated only by
fasync_helper and kill_fasync, which provide their own locking.  It
would also be wrong to use fuse_lock, as it's a spin lock and
fasync_helper can sleep.  My one concern with this is the fuse_conn
going away underneath fuse_dev_fasync - sys_fcntl takes a reference
on the file struct, so this seems not to be a problem.

One possible bug - there is a wakeup in inode.c:fuse_put_super, but
sticking a kill_fasync there causes BUGs because the /dev/fuse
file struct seems to have gone away.  So, this may be lacking when a
FUSE mount is unmounted from underneath the server (is that
possible, or must the server be killed in order to do the umount?).
