[PATCH] fuse: Allow fallocate(FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE)

[PATCH] fuse: Allow fallocate(FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE)

[Richard W.M. Jones]

libnbd's nbdfuse utility would like to translate fallocate zero
requests into NBD_CMD_WRITE_ZEROES.  Currently the fuse module filters
these out, returning -EOPNOTSUPP.  This commit treats these almost the
same way as FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE except not calling
truncate_pagecache_range.

A way to test this is with the following script:

--------------------
set -e
set -x

export output=$PWD/output
rm -f test.img $output

nbdkit sh - <<'EOF'
case "$1" in
  get_size) echo 1M ;;
  can_write|can_trim|can_zero|can_fast_zero) ;;
  pread) echo "$@" >>$output; dd if=/dev/zero count=$3 iflag=count_bytes ;;
  pwrite) echo "$@" >>$output; cat >/dev/null ;;
  trim|zero) echo "$@" >>$output ;;
  *) exit 2 ;;
esac
EOF

touch test.img
nbdfuse --version
nbdfuse test.img nbd://localhost & sleep 2
ls -lh test.img

dd if=test.img of=/dev/null bs=512 skip=1024 count=1
dd if=/dev/zero of=test.img bs=512 skip=2048 count=1
fallocate -p -l 512 -o 4096 test.img
fallocate -z -l 512 -o 8192 test.img

cat $output

fusermount3 -u test.img
killall nbdkit
rm test.img $output
--------------------

which will print:

pread  4096 524288    # number depends on readahea
pwrite  512 0
trim  512 4096
zero  512 8192 may_trim

with the last line indicating that the FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE request
was successfully passed through by the kernel module to nbdfuse,
translated to NBD_CMD_WRITE_ZEROES and sent through to the server.
