Merge tag 'virtio-fs-5.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/fuse
Pull fuse virtio-fs support from Miklos Szeredi:
"Virtio-fs allows exporting directory trees on the host and mounting
them in guest(s).
This isn't actually a new filesystem, but a glue layer between the
fuse filesystem and a virtio based back-end.
It's similar in functionality to the existing virtio-9p solution, but
significantly faster in benchmarks and has better POSIX compliance.
Further permformance improvements can be achieved by sharing the page
cache between host and guest, allowing for faster I/O and reduced
memory use.
Kata Containers have been including the out-of-tree virtio-fs (with
the shared page cache patches as well) since version 1.7 as an
experimental feature. They have been active in development and plan to
switch from virtio-9p to virtio-fs as their default solution. There
has been interest from other sources as well.
The userspace infrastructure is slated to be merged into qemu once the
kernel part hits mainline.
This was developed by Vivek Goyal, Dave Gilbert and Stefan Hajnoczi"

Add a basic file system module for virtio-fs. This does not yet contain
shared data support between host and guest or metadata coherency speedups.
However it is already significantly faster than virtio-9p.
Design Overview
===============
With the goal of designing something with better performance and local file
system semantics, a bunch of ideas were proposed.
- Use fuse protocol (instead of 9p) for communication between guest and
host. Guest kernel will be fuse client and a fuse server will run on
host to serve the requests.
- For data access inside guest, mmap portion of file in QEMU address space
and guest accesses this memory using dax. That way guest page cache is
bypassed and there is only one copy of data (on host). This will also
enable mmap(MAP_SHARED) between guests.
- For metadata coherency, there is a shared memory region which contains
version number associated with metadata and any guest changing metadata
updates version number and other guests refresh metadata on next access.
This is yet to be implemented.
How virtio-fs differs from existing approaches
==============================================
The unique idea behind virtio-fs is to take advantage of the co-location of
the virtual machine and hypervisor to avoid communication (vmexits).
DAX allows file contents to be accessed without communication with the
hypervisor. The shared memory region for metadata avoids communication in
the common case where metadata is unchanged.
By replacing expensive communication with cheaper shared memory accesses,
we expect to achieve better performance than approaches based on network
file system protocols. In addition, this also makes it easier to achieve
local file system semantics (coherency).
These techniques are not applicable to network file system protocols since
the communications channel is bypassed by taking advantage of shared memory
on a local machine. This is why we decided to build virtio-fs rather than
focus on 9P or NFS.
Caching Modes
=============
Like virtio-9p, different caching modes are supported which determine the
coherency level as well. The “cache=FOO” and “writeback” options control
the level of coherence between the guest and host filesystems.
- cache=none
metadata, data and pathname lookup are not cached in guest. They are
always fetched from host and any changes are immediately pushed to host.
- cache=always
metadata, data and pathname lookup are cached in guest and never expire.
- cache=auto
metadata and pathname lookup cache expires after a configured amount of
time (default is 1 second). Data is cached while the file is open
(close to open consistency).
- writeback/no_writeback
These options control the writeback strategy. If writeback is disabled,
then normal writes will immediately be synchronized with the host fs.
If writeback is enabled, then writes may be cached in the guest until
the file is closed or an fsync(2) performed. This option has no effect
on mmap-ed writes or writes going through the DAX mechanism.

As of now fuse_dev_alloc() both allocates a fuse device and installs it in
fuse_conn list. fuse_dev_alloc() can fail if fuse_device allocation fails.
virtio-fs needs to initialize multiple fuse devices (one per virtio queue).
It initializes one fuse device as part of call to fuse_fill_super_common()
and rest of the devices are allocated and installed after that.
But, we can't afford to fail after calling fuse_fill_super_common() as we
don't have a way to undo all the actions done by fuse_fill_super_common().
So to avoid failures after the call to fuse_fill_super_common(),
pre-allocate all fuse devices early and install them into fuse connection
later.
This patch provides two separate helpers for fuse device allocation and
fuse device installation in fuse_conn.

The /dev/fuse device uses fiq->waitq and fasync to signal that requests are
available. These mechanisms do not apply to virtio-fs. This patch
introduces callbacks so alternative behavior can be used.
Note that queue_interrupt() changes along these lines:
spin_lock(&fiq->waitq.lock);
wake_up_locked(&fiq->waitq);
+ kill_fasync(&fiq->fasync, SIGIO, POLL_IN);
spin_unlock(&fiq->waitq.lock);
- kill_fasync(&fiq->fasync, SIGIO, POLL_IN);
Since queue_request() and queue_forget() also call kill_fasync() inside
the spinlock this should be safe.

fuse_fill_super() includes code to process the fd= option and link the
struct fuse_dev to the fd's struct file. In virtio-fs there is no file

The size of struct fuse_req was reduced from 392B to 144B on a non-debug
config, thus the sanitize_global_limit() helper was setting a larger
default limit. This doesn't really reflect reduction in the memory used by
requests, since the fields removed from fuse_req were added to fuse_args
derived structs; e.g. sizeof(struct fuse_writepages_args) is 248B, thus
resulting in slightly more memory being used for writepage requests
overalll (due to using 256B slabs).
Make the calculatation ignore the size of fuse_req and use the old 392B
value.

Derive fuse_writepage_args from fuse_io_args.
Sending the request is tricky since it was done with fi->lock held, hence
we must either use atomic allocation or release the lock. Both are
possible so try atomic first and if it fails, release the lock and do the
regular allocation with GFP_NOFS and __GFP_NOFAIL. Both flags are
necessary for correct operation.

fuse_writepage_args.
