Subject: [PATCH 1/3] fuse: add FUSE_OPEN_ATOMIC
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 14:16:45 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261020141647.3271341-2-jamz@amazon.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261020141647.3271341-1-jamz@amazon.com>
From: Jimmy Zuber <jamz@amazon.com>
Add FUSE_OPEN_ATOMIC, allowing the kernel to skip LOOKUP to improve
performance. A server implementing FUSE_OPEN_ATOMIC will look up
the name, create it if O_CREAT is supplied, and open it in one request.
The server replies with the entry and the open file. If the file was
created, the server returns FOPEN_CREATED, or just the entry if it
was not created. If the name does not exist, the server returns a
zero nodeid, cacheable like a negative LOOKUP. An existing file
opened with O_TRUNC is returned unopened, so that truncation can be
performed after permissions are checked.
FMODE_CREATED is set only when the server reports that it created the
file. Therefore a file created by someone else between LOOKUP and
CREATE is no longer opened without a permission check.
A server without the request replies -ENOSYS, and the kernel falls back to
FUSE_LOOKUP, keeping backwards compatibility.
