From: Tejun Heo @ 2008-08-28 18:19 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: fuse-devel, miklos, greg, linux-kernel; +Cc: Tejun Heo
Add fuse_ prefix to request_send*() and get_root_inode() as some of
those functions will be exported for CUSE. With or without CUSE
export, having the function names scoped is a good idea for
debuggability.

CUSE enables implementing character devices in userspace. With recent
additions of nonblock, lseek, ioctl and poll support, FUSE already has
most of what's necessary to implement character devices. All CUSE has
to do is bonding all those components - FUSE, chardev and the driver
model - nicely.
Due to the number of different objects involved and many ways an
instance can fail, object lifetime rules are a tad bit complex.
Please take a look at the comment on top of fs/fuse/cuse.c for
details.
Other than that, it's mostly straight forward. Client opens
/dev/cuse, kernel starts conversation with CUSE_INIT. The client
tells CUSE which device it wants to create. CUSE creates the device
for the client and the rest works the same way as in a direct IO FUSE
session.
Each CUSE device has a corresponding directory /sys/class/cuse/DEVNAME
(which is symlink to /sys/devices/virtual/class/DEVNAME if
SYSFS_DEPRECATED is turned off) which hosts "waiting" and "abort"
among other things. Those two files have the same meaning as the FUSE
control files.
The only notable lacking feature compared to in-kernel implementation
is mmap support.

+ *
+ * This file is released under the GPLv2.
+ *
+ * CUSE bridges a few objects to implement a character device using
+ * userland backend. The lifetime rules of the involved objects are a
+ * bit complex.
+ *
+ * cuse_conn : contains fuse_conn and serves as bonding structure
+ * channel : file handle connected to the userland CUSE client
+ * cdev : the implemented character device
+ * mnt : vfsmount which serves dentry and inode for cdev
+ * dev : generic device for cdev
+ *
+ * Note that 'channel' is what 'dev' is in FUSE. As CUSE deals with
+ * devices, it's called 'channel' to reduce confusion.
+ *
+ * channel determines when the character device dies. When channel is
+ * closed, everything should begin to destruct. As cuse_conn and mnt
+ * dereference each other unlike FUSE, both should be destructed at
+ * the same time. This is achieved by giving the base reference of
+ * cuse_conn to mnt and never referencing cuse_conn directly, so both
+ * channel and cdev have reference to mnt which in turn has single
+ * reference to cuse_conn.

I believe all the above could be implemented in C.
Making that change would fix the bug in cuse_conn_get(), which
references its arg twice.

OK, I have NFI whatsoever what this thing is doing and I am disinclined
to reverse-engineer it.
If this is parsing something whcih operators/users provided then it
should have been documented somewhere?
Whether it is or isn't doing that, this function really really really
needs a comment telling readers (ie: me) what it does. Or what it
tries to do, anyway.

This functions seems to be woefully misnamed. The name implies that it
initialises a worker. But it's a kernel thread?
Could you please document your design somehow? What does this kernel
thread do? Why does it exist? etc.

hotplug? What's all this? Seems to have something to do with an

So... basically this undocumented kernel thread will for undocumented
reasons create the device node?
An obvious question which the reader of the code will ask is "why
wasn't that done synchronously"?

current->pid is non-unique in a containerised setup. What are the
implications of this? It needs a comment, because the containerisation
guys will end up coming here and scratching their heads over the same
question.

This reader is wondering what a "channel" is. Understanding high-level

Nice-looking code, but I do not feel able to properly review it with

"traditionally" container_of() is used in #define, not a function call
as it is just pointer math that can be done at compile time.

Well yeah. But it isn't a very good tradition.
static inline struct cuse_conn *cdev_to_cc(struct cdev *cdev)
{
return container_of(cdev, struct cuse_conn, cdev);
}
should generate the same code and is prettier.
Unfortunately it has no additional type-safety. You can still pass it
the address of a tty_driver.cdev instead of a cuse_conn.cdev and the
compiler will happily swallow it. Not a big problem in practice though.

Both are protected by cuse_disconnect_lock. Will add comment.

The thing is when error handling paths are lumped up using "if (xxx)
destroy(xxx);", it's a good idea to always initialize variables which
will carry allocated resource. For this iteration, it doesn't make any
difference but later if the order of initialization changes and/or a new
sequence is added before cc initialization, it's all to easy to forget
whether cc was initialized to NULL or not. gcc will catch it most of
the time but there's no guarantee, so I think it's better to keep it
this way.

Yeah, reading an undocumented parsing function is really painful. Sorry
about lack of comments there. With too many components to update at
hands, I kinda ran out of steam in the last stages where I do the final
review pass through patches and add comments.
The input is packed strings - "key0=val0\0key1=val1\0" - and parse one
pulls one key/val pair out of it.

CUSE initialization worker, it is, meaning that it's a kernel thread
worker for session initialization.

Yeap, will do.

These will be feeded to uevent verbatim. The only reason why it's
called hotplug_info instead of uevent_envp is because FUSE works on
other platforms and I didn't want to put too much Linuxism into naming.

It's briefly mentioned in comment below. It's because the
initialization needs to talk with userland and the talk should happen
over a file which the following cuse_channel_open() creates. So,
cuse_channel_open() can't really talk with the client without completing
open while creating the device needs more information from user.

Not much. It's just the name of the worker. The name differentiation
is mainly to help debugging a bit when something went wrong and doesn't
have to be unique.

"waiting" and "abort" are what fuse exports as controls in fuse control

It's just like FUSE protocol version. FUSE clients seem to distinguish
supported functionality with it. So, it's more "I'm who" kind of thing
which doesn't have much meaning for the initial version.

Sorry about that. I'll add proper comments on the next round.

oop, I failed to note the struct assignment there. The usual rule of

Boolean bit-fields are indeed valid. Usual semantics for objects of type
_Bool apply.

Thought about that but it's really no different from nbd or loop
depending on your application and block devices don't really implement
the file operations so it won't have too much in common with FUSE.
Also, there's the complication of going out to disk for more memory cases.

I think BUSE would be useful. For one, it allows you to avoid problems with
the extra caching you get with a loopback device. And NBD is too limiting
for some applications.
For my half-ignorant analysis of the caching issues, see:
http://code.google.com/p/s3backer/wiki/PerformanceConsiderations#Caching
This is also an example of an application where NBD doesn't suffice.
> Also, there's the complication of going out to disk for more memory cases.
Not sure what you mean exactly (my fault), but it seems BUSE would have fewer
places for memory problems (including deadlocks) than loopback over FUSE,
which is the only way to do this kind of stuff now.

Yeah, compared to loopback over FUSE, anything would have less
problem. :-) I don't know much about nbd but it's pretty much solving
the same problem so I think it's logical to extend nbd including
giving it a new transport if necessary? Or is there something
fundamentally better when it's done via FUSE?
Thanks.

My gutt feeling is that it would have less overhead when done via FUSE
than through nbd, but that could be wrong.

What I would hope is that BUSE would add some zero copy transport in
there. A way to just redirect the BIOs from the BUSE device to other
block devices without copying the data around.
But maybe BUSE is a bad name for that. That would be more a DUSE -
Device mapper in USEr space.

Well, NBD is the bird in hand, but that doesn't mean it's the best way
to do things generically for all block device emulation applications.
I'd even argue that NBD should be removed from the kernel and replaced
by BUSE plus a user-land daemon. A BUSE interface could be a lot more
general, and simpler.
Not to mention that converting all block reads and writes to TCP
operations that talk to another process on the same machine via the
loopback interface seems awfully inefficient.

While it is not based upon FUSE, you may be interested in ULOOP driver
which is based upon the loopback block device.
Here is a README file from http://aufs.sourceforge.net/uloop.txt.

ULOOP -- Loopback block device in userspace
(and a sample for HTTP and generic block device)
Junjiro Okajima
# $Id: 00readme.txt,v 1.6 2008/08/17 23:04:29 sfjro Exp $
0. Introduction
As you know, there is a Loopback block device in Linux, /dev/loop,
which enables you to mount a fs-image local file.
Also it can adopt a userspace program, such as cryptloop.
This sample ULOOP driver makes it generic, and enables to adopt any
userspace program.
You can give an empty or non-existing file to /dev/loop backend.
When a process reads from /dev/loop, this dirver wakes a user process
up and passes the I/O transaction to it. A user process makes the
required block ready and tells the driver. Then the driver completes
the I/O transaction.
Also there is sample scripts or usage for diskless nodes working with
aufs. This driver may work with it well.
The name is unrelated to YouTube. :-)
1. sample for HTTP
Simple 'make' will build ./drivers/block/uloop.ko and ./ulohttp.
Ulohttp application behaves like losetup(8). Additionally, ulohttp is
an actual daemon which handles I/O request.
Here is a syntax.
ulohttp [-b bitmap] [-c cache] device URL
The device is /dev/loopN and the URL is a URL for fs-image file via
HTTP. The http server must support byte range (Range: header).
The bitmap is a new filename or previously specified as the bitmap for
the same URL. Its filesize will be 'the size of the specified fs-image
/ pagesize (usually 4k) / bits in a byte (8)', and round-up to
pagesize.
The cache is a new filename or previously specified as the cache for
the same URL. Its filesize will be 'the size of the specified
fs-image', and round-up to pagesize.
Note that both the bitmap and the cache are re-usable as long as you
don't change the filedata and URL.
When someone reads from the specified /dev/loopN, or accesses a file
on a filesystem after mounting /dev/loopN, ULOOP driver first checks
the corresponding bit in the bitmap file. When the bit is not set,
which means the block is not retrieved yet, it passes the offset and
size of the I/O request to ulohttp daemon.
Ulohttp converts the offset and the size into HTTP GET request with
Range header and send it to the http server.
Retriving the data from the http server, ulohttp stores it to the
cache file, and tells ULOOP driver that the HTTP transfer completes.
Then the ULOOP driver sets the corresponding bit in the bitmap, and
finishes the I/O/request.
In other words, it is equivalent to this operation.
$ wget URL_for_fsimage
$ sudo mount -o loop retrieved_fsimage /mnt
But ULOOP driver and ulohttp retrieves only the data (block) on-demand,
and stores into the cache file. The first access to a block is slow
since it involves HTTP GET, but the next access to the same block is
fast since it is in the local cache file. In this case, the behaviour
is equivalent to the simple /dev/loop device.
o Note
- ulohttp requires libcurl.
- ulohttp doesn't support HTTP PUT or POST, so the device rejects
WRITE operation.
- ulohttp doesn't have a smart exit routine.
- This sample is "proof-of-concepts", do not expect the maturity level
too much.
- This driver and the sample is developed and tested on linux-2.6.21.3.
- If you implement other protocols such like nbd/enbd, iscsi, aoe or
something, instead of http, I guess it will be fantastic. :-)
o Usage
$ make
$ sudo modprobe loop
$ sudo insmod ./drivers/block/uloop.ko
$ dev=/dev/loop7
$ ./ulohttp -b /tmp/b -c /tmp/c $dev http://whatever/you/like
$ sudo mount -o ro $dev /mnt
$ ls /mnt
:::
$ sudo umount /mnt
$ killall ulohttp
$ sudo losetup -d $dev
2. sample for generic block device
The sample `ulohttp' (above) retrieves data from a remote host via
HTTP, and stores it into a local file as a cache. It means you can
reduce the network traffic and the workload on a remote server.
As you can guess easily, this scheme is also effective to a local disk
device, especially when you want to make your disk and spin down/off
it. Recent flash memory is getting larger and cheaper. You can cache
the whole contents of your harddrive into a file on your flash.
Here is a sample for it, `ulobdev.' The basic usage is very similar to
`ulohttp'. See above.
Of course, it is available for remote block devices too, such as
nbd/enbd, iscsi and aoe.
You should not mount the backend block device as readwrite, since it
modifies the superblock of the filesystem on the block device even if
you don't write anything to it.
Currently this sample supports readonly mode only.
If someone is interested in this approach and sample, I will add some
features which will support read/write mode and write-back to the
harddrive periodically, and discard/re-create the cache file.
3. libuloop API
- int ulo_init(struct ulo_init *init);
struct ulo_init {
char *path[ULO_Last];
int dev_flags;
unsigned long long size;
};
enum {ULO_DEV, ULO_CACHE, ULO_BITMAP, ULO_Last};
Initializes ULOOP driver. All members in struct ulo_init must be set
before you call ulo_init().
+ path[ULO_DEV]
pathname of loopback device such as "/dev/loopN".
+ path[ULO_CACHE]
pathname of a cache file. A userspace program stores the
real data to this file.
+ path[ULO_BITMAP]
pathname of a bitmap file. The ULOOP driver sets the bit
which is corresponding the block number when the block is
filled by a userspace program. When the bit is not set,
ULOOP driver invokes the userspace program.
+ dev_flags
Flags for open(2) of path[ULO_DEV].
+ size
the size of real data. the ULOOP library set this size to
the cache file after creating it internally.
- int ulo_loop(int sig, ulo_cb_t store, void *arg);
typedef int (*ulo_cb_t)(unsigned long long start, int size, void *arg);
Waits for a I/O request from ULOOP driver. When a user accesses a
ULOOP device, ULOOP driver translates the request to the offset in
the cache file and the requested size, and invokes the user-defined
callback function which is specified by `store.' The function `store'
must fill the data in the cache file following the given offset and
size. You can add an argument `arg' for the callback function.
- extern const struct uloop *uloop;
struct uloop {
int fd[ULO_Last];
int pagesize;
unsigned long long tgt_size, cache_size;
};
A global variable in ULOOP library. Usually you will need
'ulo_cache_fd` only. See below.
#define ulo_dev_fd ({ uloop->fd[ULO_DEV]; })
#define ulo_cache_fd ({ uloop->fd[ULO_CACHE]; })
#define ulo_bitmap_fd ({ uloop->fd[ULO_BITMAP]; })
Enjoy!

Would it be hard to extend this to block devices as well?
