[PATCH v2 0/2] fuse: add timeout option for requests

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There are situations where fuse servers can become unresponsive or take
too long to reply to a request. Currently there is no upper bound on
how long a request may take, which may be frustrating to users who get
stuck waiting for a request to complete.

This patchset adds a timeout option for requests and two dynamically
configurable fuse sysctls "default_request_timeout" and "max_request_timeout"
for controlling/enforcing timeout behavior system-wide.

Existing fuse servers will not be affected unless they explicitly opt into the
timeout.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20240717213458.1613347-1-joannelkoong@xxxxxxxxx/
Changes from v1:
- Add timeout for background requests
- Handle resend race condition
- Add sysctls

  fuse: add optional kernel-enforced timeout for requests
  fuse: add default_request_timeout and max_request_timeout sysctls
