[PATCH v2 0/2] fuse: skip LOOKUP before exclusive create

[PATCH v2 0/2] fuse: skip LOOKUP before exclusive create

[Jimmy Zuber]

mkdir(), mknod(), symlink(), link() and renameat2() with RENAME_NOREPLACE
look the new name up with FUSE_LOOKUP before sending the request. This
series adds an INIT flag, FUSE_EXCL_CREATE, with which the server fails
these requests with -EEXIST for an existing name, so the kernel can skip
the LOOKUP.

This series is independent of "fuse: atomic open" [1], which covers
open(). Both add a 7.48 entry to the uapi changelog.

Tested with the new selftest under UML and KVM.

Changes in v2 (from the Sashiko review of v1 [2]):
- Use INIT bit 46; bit 45 is FUSE_PASSTHROUGH_V2.
- Document that an existing name can fail with the error of a VFS check
  that runs before the request, such as -EROFS.
- Keep the test server's state mapped at teardown, where the server
  thread may still read it, and mount in a private mount namespace.
  Skip without /dev/fuse or kernel support. Test mknod() and link() of
  an existing name, and the dcache after each request.
- Rebase onto fuse for-next.

[PATCH v2 1/2] fuse: skip LOOKUP before exclusive create

[Jimmy Zuber]

mkdir(), mknod(), symlink(), link() and renameat2() with RENAME_NOREPLACE
look the new name up with FUSE_LOOKUP before sending the request, which
costs a round trip to the server.

Add an INIT flag, FUSE_EXCL_CREATE, with which the server fails
FUSE_MKNOD, FUSE_MKDIR, FUSE_SYMLINK, FUSE_LINK, and FUSE_RENAME2 with
RENAME_NOREPLACE, with -EEXIST for an existing name.  When the server
sets it, the lookup of a name that is about to be created returns
without sending FUSE_LOOKUP, and an existing name is reported by the
-EEXIST of the request.  The VFS checks the request before sending it,
so an existing name can also fail with the error of such a check, such
as -EROFS on a read-only mount or -EACCES without write permission on
the directory.  After a failed request the name stays uncached, so the
next lookup goes to the server.

A rename that may replace its target looks the target up, so that the
kernel can check the permission to replace it.

[PATCH v2 2/2] selftests/fuse: test FUSE_EXCL_CREATE

[Jimmy Zuber]

Check that mkdir(), mknod(), symlink(), link() and renameat2() with
RENAME_NOREPLACE of new names send no FUSE_LOOKUP when the server sets
FUSE_EXCL_CREATE, that the created names are cached, and that creating
an existing name fails with EEXIST and leaves the name uncached.
The FUSE_EXCL_CREATE cases skip on kernels that do not offer the flag.
