Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] fuse: skip LOOKUP before exclusive create
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 18:50:08 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261029185010.3080336-1-jamz@amazon.com> (raw)
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.
