Subject: [PATCH 00/32] fuse: improve transport and fs layer separation
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 11:16:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260416091658.462783-1-mszeredi@redhat.com> (raw)
This series is based on fuse-update-7.1 in
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/fuse.git#for-next
The transport layer encompasses:
- request queuing
- request timeout
- data marshaling
- device I/O
The filesystem layer handles the rest:
- VFS <-> fuse API translation
- caching
- notifications
There are misc functionalities, like tracing and control filesystem, that
don't belong to either layer. Also cuse.c and virtio_fs.c still have both
transport layer and fs layer parts.
To aid separation, the fields used by the transport layer are split out
from struct fuse_conn and added to a new fuse_chan structure.
Transport layer internal headers:
- fuse_dev_i.h
- dev_uring_i.h
Filesystem layer internal header:
- fuse_i.h
Headers describing the API between the layers:
- dev.h
- args.h
Next up: impelement a stripped-down local-only fusex (experimental/
extended) client that can be the base of further work without risking
stability of the main one.
