Here is the summary of my findings so far: - as un unprivilegied user, I create and delete files like crazy - most of the time everything is fine - sometime a LOOKUP for a file I created (as an unprivilegied user) will return a fuse_entry with uid set to 0, which cause the kernel to raise EACCESS when I try to delete the file. Here is an example of a FUSE trace, produced by the test case while [ 1 ] ; do cp /etc/fstab test/foo1 ; rm test/foo1 ; done > unique = 1435, nodeid = 3098542296, opcode = LOOKUP (1) < unique = 1435, nodeid = 3098542296, opcode = LOOKUP (1), error = -2 > unique = 1436, nodeid = 3098542296, opcode = CREATE (35) < unique = 1436, nodeid = 3098542296, opcode = CREATE (35), error = 0 > unique = 1437, nodeid = 3098542396, opcode = SETATTR (4) < unique = 1437, nodeid = 3098542396, opcode = SETATTR (4), error = 0 > unique = 1438, nodeid = 3098542396, opcode = WRITE (16) < unique = 1438, nodeid = 3098542396, opcode = WRITE (16), error = 0 > unique = 1439, nodeid = 3098542396, opcode = FSYNC (20) < unique = 1439, nodeid = 3098542396, opcode = FSYNC (20), error = 0 > unique = 1440, nodeid = 3098542396, opcode = RELEASE (18) < unique = 1440, nodeid = 3098542396, opcode = RELEASE (18), error = 0 > unique = 1441, nodeid = 3098542396, opcode = GETATTR (3) < unique = 1441, nodeid = 3098542396, opcode = GETATTR (3), error = 0 > unique = 1442, nodeid = 3098542296, opcode = LOOKUP (1) < unique = 1442, nodeid = 3098542296, opcode = LOOKUP (1), error = 0 --> here I sometimes get fuse_entry's attr.uid incorrectly set to 0 --> When this happens, LOOKUP fails and returns EACCESS. > unique = 1443, nodeid = 3098542296, opcode = UNLINK (10) < unique = 1443, nodeid = 3098542296, opcode = UNLINK (10), error = 0 > unique = 1444, nodeid = 3098542396, opcode = FORGET (2) Is it possible that metadata writes are now so asynchronous that a subsequent lookup cannot retreive the up to date value? If that is the problem, how can I fix it? There is nothing telling the FUSE implementation that a CREATE or SETATTR has just partially completed and has metadata pending. -- Emmanuel Dreyfus http://hcpnet.free.fr/pubz manu@xxxxxxxxxx
