Presumably if "user space isn't involved at all", it must require that user space has granted caching rights to the kernel over a FUSE cache coherency protocol? Otherwise I don't see how the kernel could coherently cache file pages for some kinds of FUSE filesystems. (E.g. sshfs, for example: every operation must surely invoke a user space request or involve granting a caching right to the kernel, to keep accesses coherent with other users of the same remote files). Ergo, either its not coherent, or there is some coherency protocol, which does require _some_ work in the user space implementation. -- Jamie -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
