Subject: [PATCH v4 2/3] fuse: open cached files with FUSE_OPEN_ATOMIC
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2026 22:16:38 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261026221639.628325-3-jamz@amazon.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261026221639.628325-1-jamz@amazon.com>
When the server implements FUSE_OPEN_ATOMIC, skip LOOKUP for a
regular file being opened, opening it by name from fuse_open() instead.
If the name now refers to a different file or to nothing, drop the
dentry and return -EOPENSTALE, so that the VFS looks the name up again.
A matching reply refreshes the attributes and the entry timeout.
The LOOKUP is still sent for directories, for O_CREAT opens, and, with
default_permissions, when the cached attributes have expired, since
may_open() checks those attributes before fuse_open() runs. After
FUSE_OPEN_ATOMIC, fuse_open() checks permission again with the
attributes in the reply.
A reopen that does not look up the name, for example through
/proc/self/fd, also sends FUSE_OPEN_ATOMIC. If the name has changed,
the VFS retries and the retry opens the file by its nodeid.
If the server replies -ENOSYS, fuse_open() sends the skipped LOOKUP
itself.
