At the moment, FUSE_INIT's DIRECT_IO_RELAX flag only serves the purpose
of allowing shared mmap of files opened/created with DIRECT_IO enabled.
However, it leaves open the possibility of further relaxing the
DIRECT_IO restrictions (and in-effect, the cache coherency guarantees of
DIRECT_IO) in the future.
The DIRECT_IO_ALLOW_MMAP flag leaves no ambiguity of its purpose. It
only serves to allow shared mmap of DIRECT_IO files, while still
bypassing the cache on regular reads and writes. The shared mmap is the
only loosening of the cache policy that can take place with the flag.
This removes some ambiguity and introduces a more stable flag to be used
in FUSE_INIT. Furthermore, we can document that to allow shared mmap'ing
of DIRECT_IO files, a user must enable DIRECT_IO_ALLOW_MMAP.
Tyler Fanelli (2):
fs/fuse: Rename DIRECT_IO_RELAX to DIRECT_IO_ALLOW_MMAP
docs/fuse-io: Document the usage of DIRECT_IO_ALLOW_MMAP
Looks good.
Applied, thanks. Will send the PR during this merge window, since the
rename could break stuff if already released.
I'm just porting back this feature to our internal fuse module and it
looks these rename patches have been forgotten?
Hi Miklos, Bernd,
I was looking at the DIRECT_IO_ALLOW_MMAP code and specifically at
commit b5a2a3a0b776 ("fuse: write back dirty pages before direct write in
direct_io_relax mode") and I was wondering - isn't dirty pages writeback
needed *before* invalidate_inode_pages2() in fuse_file_mmap() for
direct_io_allow_mmap case?
For FUSE_PASSTHROUGH, I am going to need to call fuse_vma_close()
for munmap of files also in direct-io mode [1], so I was considering installing
fuse_file_vm_ops for the FOPEN_DIRECT_IO case, same as caching case,
and regardless of direct_io_allow_mmap.
I was asking myself if there was a good reason why fuse_page_mkwrite()/
fuse_wait_on_page_writeback()/fuse_vma_close()/write_inode_now()
should NOT be called for the FOPEN_DIRECT_IO case regardless of
direct_io_allow_mmap?
Before trying to make changes to fuse_file_mmap() I tried to test
DIRECT_IO_RELAX - I enabled it in libfuse and ran fstest with
passthrough_hp --direct-io.
The test generic/095 - "Concurrent mixed I/O (buffer I/O, aiodio, mmap, splice)
on the same files" blew up hitting BUG_ON(fi->writectr < 0) in
fuse_set_nowrite()
I am wondering how this code was tested?
I could not figure out the problem and how to fix it.
Please suggest a fix and let me know which adjustments are needed
if I want to use fuse_file_vm_ops for all mmap modes.
So fuse_set_nowrite() tests for inode_is_locked(), but that also
succeeds for a shared lock. It gets late here (and I might miss
something), but I think we have an issue with
FOPEN_PARALLEL_DIRECT_WRITES. Assuming there would be plain O_DIRECT and
mmap, the same issue might triggered? Hmm, well, so far plain O_DIRECT
does not support FOPEN_PARALLEL_DIRECT_WRITES yet - the patches for that
are still pending.
Your analysis seems to be correct.
Attached patch fixes the problem and should be backported to 6.6.y.
Miklos,
I prepared the patch on top of master and not on top of the rename to
FUSE_DIRECT_IO_ALLOW_MMAP in for-next for ease of backport to
6.6.y, although if you are planning send the flag rename to v6.7 as a fix,
you may prefer to apply the fix after the rename and request to backport
the flag rename along with the fix to 6.6.y.
I've done that. Thanks for the fix and testing.
Hi Amir, hi Miklos,
could you please hold on a bit before sending the patch upstream?
I think we can just test for fuse_range_is_writeback in
fuse_direct_write_iter. I will have a patch in a few minutes.
Thanks,
Bernd
