Right now "mount -t virtiofs -o dax myfs /mnt/virtiofs" succeeds even
if filesystem deivce does not have a cache window and hence DAX can't
be supported.
This gives a false sense to user that they are using DAX with virtiofs
but fact of the matter is that they are not.
Fix this by returning error if dax can't be supported and user has asked
for it.

Fuse mount now only ever has a refcount of one (before being freed) so the
count field is unnecessary.
Remove the refcounting and fold fuse_mount_put() into callers. The only
caller of fuse_mount_put() where fm->fc was NULL is fuse_dentry_automount()
and here the fuse_conn_put() can simply be omitted.

Currently when acquiring an sb for virtiofs fuse_mount_get() is being
called from virtio_fs_set_super() if a new sb is being filled and
fuse_mount_put() is called unconditionally after sget_fc() returns.
The exact same result can be obtained by checking whether
fs_contex->s_fs_info was set to NULL (ref trasferred to sb->s_fs_info) and
only calling fuse_mount_put() if the ref wasn't transferred (error or
matching sb found).
This allows getting rid of virtio_fs_set_super() and fuse_mount_get().

This can be triggered for example by adding the "-omand" mount option,
which will be rejected and virtio_fs_fill_super() will return an error.
In such a case the allocations for fuse_conn and fuse_mount will leak due
to s_root not yet being set and so ->put_super() not being called.

virtiofs currently maps various buffers in scatter gather list and it looks
at number of pages (ap->pages) and assumes that same number of pages will
be used both for input and output (sg_count_fuse_req()), and calculates
total number of scatterlist elements accordingly.
But looks like this assumption is not valid in all the cases. For example,
Cai Qian reported that trinity, triggers warning with virtiofs sometimes.
A closer look revealed that if one calls ioctl(fd, 0x5a004000, buf), it
will trigger following warning.
WARN_ON(out_sgs + in_sgs != total_sgs)
In this case, total_sgs = 8, out_sgs=4, in_sgs=3. Number of pages is 2
(ap->pages), but out_sgs are using both the pages but in_sgs are using
only one page. In this case, fuse_do_ioctl() sets different size values
for input and output.
args->in_args[args->in_numargs - 1].size == 6656
args->out_args[args->out_numargs - 1].size == 4096
So current method of calculating how many scatter-gather list elements
will be used is not accurate. Make calculations more precise by parsing
size and ap->descs.

FUSE servers can indicate crossmount points by setting FUSE_ATTR_SUBMOUNT
in fuse_attr.flags. The inode will then be marked as S_AUTOMOUNT, and the
.d_automount implementation creates a new submount at that location, so
that the submount gets a distinct st_dev value.
Note that all submounts get a distinct superblock and a distinct st_dev
value, so for virtio-fs, even if the same filesystem is mounted more than
once on the host, none of its mount points will have the same st_dev. We
need distinct superblocks because the superblock points to the root node,
but the different host mounts may show different trees (e.g. due to
submounts in some of them, but not in others).
Right now, this behavior is only enabled when fuse_conn.auto_submounts is
set, which is the case only for virtio-fs.

We want to allow submounts for the same fuse_conn, but with different
superblocks so that each of the submounts has its own device ID. To do
so, we need to split all mount-specific information off of fuse_conn
into a new fuse_mount structure, so that multiple mounts can share a
single fuse_conn.
We need to take care only to perform connection-level actions once (i.e.
when the fuse_conn and thus the first fuse_mount are established, or
when the last fuse_mount and thus the fuse_conn are destroyed). For
example, fuse_sb_destroy() must invoke fuse_send_destroy() until the
last superblock is released.
To do so, we keep track of which fuse_mount is the root mount and
perform all fuse_conn-level actions only when this fuse_mount is
involved.

available. I will refer it to as direct reclaim.
If free range is not available and nothing can't be stolen from same
inode, caller waits on a waitq for free range to become available.
For reclaiming a range, as of now we need to hold following locks in

fuse_fill_super_common() allocates and installs one fuse_device. Hence
virtiofs allocates and install all fuse devices by itself except one.
This makes logic little twisted. There does not seem to be any real need
that why virtiofs can't allocate and install all fuse devices itself.
So opt out of fuse device allocation and installation while calling
fuse_fill_super_common().
Regular fuse still wants fuse_fill_super_common() to install fuse_device.
It needs to prevent against races where two mounters are trying to mount
fuse using same fd. In that case one will succeed while other will get
-EINVAL.
virtiofs does not have this issue because sget_fc() resolves the race
w.r.t multiple mounters and only one instance of virtio_fs_fill_super()
should be in progress for same filesystem.

In virtiofs (unlike in regular fuse) processing of async replies is
serialized. This can result in a deadlock in rare corner cases when
there's a circular dependency between the completion of two or more async
replies.
Such a deadlock can be reproduced with xfstests:generic/503 if TEST_DIR ==
SCRATCH_MNT (which is a misconfiguration):
- Process A is waiting for page lock in worker thread context and blocked
(virtio_fs_requests_done_work()).
- Process B is holding page lock and waiting for pending writes to
finish (fuse_wait_on_page_writeback()).
- Write requests are waiting in virtqueue and can't complete because
worker thread is blocked on page lock (process A).
Fix this by creating a unique work_struct for each async reply that can
block (O_DIRECT read).

If regular request queue gets full, currently we sleep for a bit and
retrying submission in submitter's context. This assumes submitter is not
holding any spin lock. But this assumption is not true for background
requests. For background requests, we are called with fc->bg_lock held.
This can lead to deadlock where one thread is trying submission with
fc->bg_lock held while request completion thread has called
fuse_request_end() which tries to acquire fc->bg_lock and gets blocked. As
request completion thread gets blocked, it does not make further progress
and that means queue does not get empty and submitter can't submit more
requests.
To solve this issue, retry submission with the help of a worker, instead of
retrying in submitter's context. We already do this for hiprio/forget
requests.

If virtqueue is full, we put forget requests on a list and these forgets
are dispatched later using a worker. As of now we don't count these forgets
in fsvq->in_flight variable. This means when queue is being drained, we
have to have special logic to first drain these pending requests and then
wait for fsvq->in_flight to go to zero.
By counting pending forgets in fsvq->in_flight, we can get rid of special
logic and just wait for in_flight to go to zero. Worker thread will kick
and drain all the forgets anyway, leading in_flight to zero.
I also need similar logic for normal request queue in next patch where I am
about to defer request submission in the worker context if queue is full.
This simplifies the code a bit.

Virtio-fs does not accept any mount options, so it's confusing and wrong to
show any in /proc/mounts.
Reported-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
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.
