2012-01-02 Miklos Szeredi * Remove unnecessary mutex unlock at the end of multithreaded event loop. 2011-12-09 Miklos Szeredi * Fix hang in wait_on_path(). Reported by Ville Silventoinen * Don't unhash name in FORGET. This resulted in ENOENT being returned for unlinked but still open files if the kernel sent a FORGET request for the parent directory. * Free request in fuse_reply_data(). 2011-12-08 Miklos Szeredi * Fix build if FUSE_NODE_SLAB is not defined. Patch by Emmanuel Dreyfus * Check for availability of utimensat() function. Patch by Emmanuel Dreyfus 2011-12-07 Miklos Szeredi * Add fuse_lowlevel_notify_delete() which tells the kernel that a file or directory is deleted. Patch by John Muir 2011-12-06 Miklos Szeredi * Add mmap() and munmap() methods to low level API. Currently this is only useful for CUSE * Update retrieve_reply() method 2011-12-05 Miklos Szeredi * Low level API: lock argument of fuse_reply_lock should have a 'const' qualifier. Reported by Shachar Sharon * Add support for ioctl on directories. Reported by Antonio SJ Musumeci 2011-10-13 Miklos Szeredi * Reply to request with ENOMEM in case of failure to allocate request structure. Otherwise the task issuing the request will just freeze up until the filesystem daemon is killed. Reported by Stephan Kulow 2011-09-23 Miklos Szeredi * Replace daemon() function with fork(). Patch by Anatol Pomozov 2011-08-26 Miklos Szeredi * If configured with --disable-mtab then don't call mount(8) from libfuse to update the mtab. Reported by: James Sierp 2011-08-24 Miklos Szeredi * Use LRU list for cleaning up the cache if the "remember=T" option was given. Patch by therealneworld@gmail.com 2011-07-06 Miklos Szeredi * Add ->flock() operation to low and high level interfaces. This fixes problems with emulating flock() with POSIX locking. Reported by Sebastian Pipping. As with lock/setlk/getlk most filesystems don't need to implement this, as the kernel takes care of file locking. The only reason to implement locking operations is for network filesystems which want file locking to work between clients. 2011-07-02 Sebastian Pipping * Make xmp_utimens of examples "fusexmp" and "fusexmp_fh" not follow symlinks as other layers do that already. 2011-06-02 Miklos Szeredi * Add "remember" option. This works similar to "noforget" except that eventually the node will be allowed to expire from the cache. Patch by therealneworld@gmail.com 2011-05-27 Miklos Szeredi * Check if splice/vmsplice are supported 2011-05-26 Miklos Szeredi * Remove -lrt -ldl from fuse.pc for dynamic linking since libfuse.so is already linked with these libraries. Reported by: Nikolaus Rath 2011-05-20 Miklos Szeredi * Cleaner build output. Patch by Reuben Hawkins 2011-05-19 Miklos Szeredi * Disable splice by default, add "splice_read", "splice_write" and "splice_move" options. Keep the "no_splice_*" variants, which can disable splice even if the filesystem explicitly enables it. 2011-04-15 Max Krasnyansky * Added support for "auto_unmount" option which unmounts the filesystem automatically on process exit (or crash). 2011-03-30 Miklos Szeredi * Patches by Laszlo Papp fixing various issues found by the Coverity checker 2011-03-11 Miklos Szeredi * In case of failure to add to /etc/mtab don't umount. Reported by Marc Deslauriers 2011-02-02 Miklos Szeredi * libfuse: In fuse_session_loop_mt() don't pause when exiting the worker threads. The pause() was added in 2.2.1 to prevent segfault on pthread_cancel() on an exited, detached thread. Now worker threads are not detached and pthread_cancel() should work fine even after the thread exited. Reported by Boris Protopopov 2011-01-31 Miklos Szeredi * fusermount: chdir to / before performing mount/umount * fusermount: only allow mount and umount if util-linux supports --no-canonicalize 2010-12-16 Miklos Szeredi * Highlevel lib: allow hash tables to shrink * Highlevel lib: add slab allocation for node cache. This will allow the memory used by the filesystem to grow and shrink depending on how many inodes are currently cached. 2010-12-13 Miklos Szeredi * Highlevel lib: use dynamically resized hash table for looking up by name and node ID. 2010-12-07 Miklos Szeredi * Allow batching of forget requests. This allows forget requests to be processed faster and doesn't require a modification to fuse filesystems. Reported by Terje Malmedal * Add ->forget_multi() operation to the lowlevel API. The filesystem may implement this to process multiple forget requests in one call * Fix the ambiguity of ioctl ABI on the kernel/userspace boundary for 32bit vs. 64bit userspace 2010-11-10 Miklos Szeredi * Add new write_buf() method to the highlevel API. Similarly to the lowlevel write_buf() method, this allows implementing zero copy writes. * Add a new read_buf() method to the highlevel API. This allows returning a generic buffer from the read method, which in turn allows zero copy reads. * In fusexmp_fh implement the ->read_buf() and ->write_buf() methods. Leave the ->read() and ->write() implementations for reference, even though they are not necessary. 2010-11-08 Miklos Szeredi * Fix check for read-only fs in mtab update * Open /dev/null for write instead of read for redirecting stdout and stderr * If umount(8) supports --fake and --no-canonicalize (util-linux-ng version 2.18 or later), and umount(2) supports the UMOUNT_NOFOLLOW flag (linux kernel version 2.6.35 or later) then, "fusermount -u" will call the umount(2) system call and use "umount --fake ..." to update /etc/mtab * Added --disable-legacy-umount option to configure. This disables the runtime checking of umount(8) version. When built with this option then "fusermount -u" will fail if umount(8) doesn't support the --fake and --no-canonicalize options. * Fix fuse_buf_copy() if already at the end of the buffers * Add new ->write_buf() method to low level interface. This allows passig a generic buffer, either containing a memory buffer or a file descriptor. This allows implementing zero copy writes. * Add fuse_session_receive_buf() and fuse_session_process_buf() which may be used in event loop implementations to replace fuse_chan_recv() and fuse_session_process() respectively. * Remove unnecessary restoring of current working directory in "fusermount -u" * Add ctx->pid to debug output * Fix st_nlink value in high level lib if file is unlinked but still open * libfuse: add store request. Request data to be stored in the kernel buffers for a given inode. * libfuse: add retrieve request. Retrieve data stored in the kernel buffers for a given inode. 2010-10-14 Miklos Szeredi * Use LTLIBICONV when linking libfuse. This fixes building against uclibc + libiconv. Patch by Natanael Copa 2010-10-05 Miklos Szeredi * Add missing argument check in ulockmgr.c to prevent calling ulockmgr_server with illegal arguments. This would cause an ever growing list of ulockmgr_server processes with an endless list of open files which finally exceeds the open file handle limit. Patch by Markus Ammer 2010-09-28 Miklos Szeredi * Fix ambiguous symbol version for fuse_chan_new. fuse_versionscript included fuse_chan_new in both FUSE_2.4 and FUSE_2.6. Remove the FUSE_2.4, which is invalid. 2010-09-28 Miklos Szeredi * Fix option escaping for fusermount. If the "fsname=" option contained a comma then the option parser in fusermount was confused (Novell bugzilla #641480). Fix by escaping commas when passing them over to fusermount. Reported by Jan Engelhardt 2010-08-27 Miklos Szeredi * Add NetBSD support. Patch from Emmanuel Dreyfus 2010-07-12 Miklos Szeredi * libfuse: add buffer interface. Add a generic buffer interface for use with I/O. Buffer vectors are supplied and each buffer in the vector may be a memory pointer or a file descriptor. * The fuse_reply_fd() interface is converted to using buffers. 2010-06-23 Miklos Szeredi * Make the number of max background requests and congestion threshold tunable. New options are "max_background" and "congestion_threshold". Only effective on linux kernel versions 2.6.32 or greater. Patch by Csaba Henk 2010-06-17 Miklos Szeredi * Add fuse_reply_fd() reply function to the low level interface. On linux version 2.6.35 or greater this will use splice() to move data directly from a file descriptor to the fuse device without needing to go though a userspace buffer. With the FUSE_REPLY_FD_MOVE flag the kernel will attempt to move the data directly into the filesystem's cache. On earlier kernels it will fall back to an intermediate buffer. The options "no_splice_write" and "no_splice_move" can be used to disable splicing and moving respectively. 2010-06-15 Miklos Szeredi * Fix out-of-source build. Patch by Jörg Faschingbauer * Add a "nopath" option and flag, indicating that path argument need not be calculated for the following operations: read, write, flush, release, fsync, readdir, releasedir, fsyncdir, ftruncate, fgetattr, lock, ioctl and poll. 2010-05-10 Miklos Szeredi * Remove "chmod root" from install of fusermount. Reported by Lucas C. Villa Real 2010-04-26 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.8.4 2010-04-26 Miklos Szeredi * Fix checking for symlinks in umount from /tmp. Reported by Al Viro * Fix umounting if /tmp is a symlink. Reported by Franco Broi 2010-02-18 Miklos Szeredi * Fix definition of FUSE_OPT_END for C++. Reported by Tim Bruylants 2010-02-03 Miklos Szeredi * Fix stack alignment for clone() 2010-02-01 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.8.3 2010-02-01 Miklos Szeredi * Using "--no-canonicalize" with umount(8) conflicts with the race fix, sinceit assumes the supplied path is absolute, while the race fix relies on the path being relative to the current directory. Reported by Tom Rindborg 2010-01-26 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.8.2 2010-01-21 Miklos Szeredi * Fix race if two "fusermount -u" instances are run in parallel. Reported by Dan Rosenberg * Make sure that the path to be unmounted doesn't refer to a symlink 2010-01-14 Miklos Szeredi * Fix compile error on FreeBSD. Patch by Jay Sullivan 2009-12-17 Miklos Szeredi * Use '--no-canonicalize' option of mount(8) (available in util-linux-ng version 2.17 or greater) to avoid calling readling(2) on the newly mounted filesystem before the mount procedure is finished. This has caused a deadlock if "audit" was enabled in the kernel. Also use '--no-canonicalize' for umount to avoid touching the mounted filesystem. 2009-09-11 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.8.1 2009-08-25 Miklos Szeredi * Fix missing versioned symbol fuse_get_context@FUSE_2.2 2009-08-18 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.8.0 2009-08-18 Miklos Szeredi * Add missing fuse_session_data to versionscript * Make sure all global symbols are prefixed with "fuse_" or "cuse_" 2009-07-16 Miklos Szeredi * Clarify how the protocol version should be negotiated between kernel and userspace. Notably libfuse didn't correctly handle the case when the supported major versions didn't match * Add missing pthread link for libulockmgr. Patch by Petr Salinger 2009-07-02 Miklos Szeredi * The context is extended with a 'umask' field. The umask is sent for mknod, mkdir and create requests by linux kernel version 2.6.31 or later, otherwise the umask is set to zero. Also introduce a new feature flag: FUSE_CAP_DONT_MASK. If the kernel supports this feature, then this flag will be set in conn->capable in the ->init() method. If the filesystem sets this flag in in conn->want, then the create modes will not be masked. * Add low level interfaces for lookup cache and attribute invalidation. This feature is available in linux kernels 2.6.31 or later. Patch by John Muir * Kernel interface version is now 7.12 * fusermount: Do not silently ignore command line arguments. Patch by Sebastian Harl 2009-06-19 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.8.0-pre3 2009-06-19 Miklos Szeredi * Add fuse_getgroups (high level lib) and fuse_req_getgroups (low level lib) functions to query the supplementary group IDs for the current request. Currently this is implemented on Linux by reading from the /proc filesystem. 2009-06-18 Miklos Szeredi * Add "noforget" option to high level lib to prevent ESTALE errors on NFS exported filesystems. This result in paths being cached forever, resulting in ever growing memory usage. Use with care. * Add "no_remote_lock" option to disable remote file locking even if the filesystem implements it. With this option locking primitives (flock, lockf, fcntl(F_SETLK)) will still work, but will ignore remotely locked files. * CUSE patches from Tejun Heo: * Unrestricted ioctl support left some debris. Clean them up: o No reason to pass around pointer to flags. Pass flags directly. o Clean up comment and prototype parameter names. o fuse_lib_ioctl() didn't reply when get_path() failed. Fix it. o Remove unused variables {in|out}_iov from fuse_lib_ioctl(). * Add fuse_reply_ioctl_iov() * Move fuse_session, fuse_req and fuse_ll definitions to fuse_i.h and make send_reply_iov() and fuse_setup_common() global (also in fuse_i.h). These will be used by CUSE support. * Restructure fuse_ll_process() * Implement libfuse side of CUSE support. CUSE uses subset of FUSE operations as dir operations don't make sense for CUSE where one instance implements single character device. CUSE support comes with its own cuse_lowevel_ops and related initialization and helper functions. Except for initialization, it usage is basically identical to FUSE. This patch also adds example/cusexmp.c which can create a character device with name and device number specified on command line. The created device itself is pretty boring. It's a bit bucket supporting read, write and access via ioctl. 2009-06-16 Miklos Szeredi * Add missing fuse_reply_bmap to versionscript. Debian Bug#531329. Reported by Goswin Brederlow 2009-05-27 Miklos Szeredi * Don't call forget_node() if the lookup was negative and write() for the reply returned ENOENT. Reported by John Haxby 2009-05-25 Miklos Szeredi * Add FUSE_CAP_EXPORT_SUPPORT to fuse_common.h 2009-05-08 Miklos Szeredi * Fix missing newlines in some printfs * Fix 'make install-strip'. Reported by Dominick Layfield 2009-01-05 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.8.0-pre2 2008-12-08 Miklos Szeredi * Implement poll support. Patch by Tejun Heo * Add missing setattr flags to . * Only pass valid flags to ->setattr(). 2008-12-05 Miklos Szeredi * Implement ioctl support. On high level interface only "restricted" ioctls are supported (which are defined with the _IO(), _IOR(), _IOW() or _IOWR() macros). Unrestricted ioctls will only be allwed to CUSE (Character Device in Userspace) servers. Patch by Tejun Heo 2008-11-28 Miklos Szeredi * If open sets fi->nonseekable, libfuse will tell the kernel that the file is not seekable. Patch by Tejun Heo 2008-11-19 Miklos Szeredi * lowlevel lib: fix deadlock if fuse_reply_* is called from the interrupt handling function. Reported by Tero Marttila 2008-10-16 Miklos Szeredi * Allow commas in options to be escaped with a backslash * Add new function: fuse_opt_add_opt_escaped() * Add missing fuse_reply_bmap() to the version script 2008-10-14 Miklos Szeredi * Pass current file flags to read and write operations 2008-07-24 Miklos Szeredi * Clean up debug output in highlevel lib 2008-07-10 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.8.0-pre1 2008-06-27 Miklos Szeredi * Fix handling of (no)suid and (no)dev options if filesystem is mounted from /etc/fstab or via mount(8). Reported by Jan Ondrej. * Skip calling mount(8) if /etc/mtab doesn't exist or if it's on a read-only filesystem. This works around issues with certain mount implementations. Reported by Szabolcs Szakacsits. 2008-06-16 Miklos Szeredi * Remove fuse kernel module sources. Linux 2.6.27 will support NFS exporting. 2008-06-10 Miklos Szeredi * Fix theoretical infinite loops in libfuse. Reported by Szabolcs Szakacsits * Fix missing include for PATH_MAX. Reported by Szabolcs Szakacsits 2008-05-23 Miklos Szeredi * Fix mounting over symlink. Reported by Szabolcs Szakacsits 2008-05-09 Miklos Szeredi * Don't allow bigger than 4kB writes by default on 2.6.26 and later kernels, so that filesystems not expecting this are not broken on a kernel upgrade. Provide a 'big_writes' mount option to enable this feature. In future API revisions this may become the default. 2008-04-09 Miklos Szeredi * Update warning message for missing newline at end of fuse.conf * Update debug message for successful operation to not include the string "error:" 2008-04-08 Miklos Szeredi * Update error message for missing mountpoint parameter.

Patch by Florin Malita * Add per-node locking, instead of a global tree lock to protect the path from changing during operations. Original patch by Rodrigo Castro 2008-02-03 Csaba Henk * lib/mount_bsd.c: - string formatting fixes - exit if mounting has failed (in FreeBSD a mount failure is not critical per se, as the daemon still could be mounted externally, but waiting for such an event is more confusing than fruitful) - ditch the kvm(8) stuff and simply use forced unmount which just won't block - prettify option specifications - add "-onosync_unmount" kernel option 2008-01-07 Csaba Henk * lib/mount_bsd.c: - refine device closing in a race-free way - add support for "-osubtype" on FreeBSD * makeconf.sh: make it work under FreeBSD 2008-01-03 Csaba Henk * lib/mount_bsd.c: close device before unmount (cf. lib/mount.c rev. 1.43) and fix some warnings 2007-12-23 Miklos Szeredi * Fix './configure --disable-static'.

Reported by Yura Pakhuchiy * kernel: fix build problem for "make -C ...". Reported by Stephen Bryant 2006-11-19 Miklos Szeredi * Fix bug in certain error paths of lookup routines. The request object was reused for sending FORGET, which is illegal. This bug could cause an Oops in linux-2.6.18 or in fuse-2.6.0, and might silently corrupt memory in earlier versions. Report and test program by Russ Cox 2006-11-11 Miklos Szeredi * Print an error if an incompatible kernel interface version is detected in INIT. This will only show if filesystem is started with -d or -f * Fix order of fuse_destroy()/fuse_unmount() in error cleanup of fuse_setup_common(). Reported by Szakacsits Szabolcs 2006-11-06 Miklos Szeredi * Fix recursive locking in fuse_create(). Thanks to Takuya Ishibashi for the bug report 2006-10-28 Miklos Szeredi * Fix automake problem. Patch from Nix 2006-10-26 Miklos Szeredi * Fix mount.fuse to use /bin/sh instead of /bin/bash, which is not always available on embedded systems. Patch from Paul Smith * Fix util/Makefile.am, so that failure to run update-rc.d or device creation doesn't cause make to fail. Reported by Paul Smith 2006-10-21 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.6.0 2006-10-18 Miklos Szeredi * fusermount: don't try to create a lock file if /etc/mtab is a symlink. Report and patch from Alexei Sheplyakov (debian bug #393693) 2006-10-17 Miklos Szeredi * Minor changes, sync with mainline tree 2006-10-16 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.6.0-rc3 2006-10-15 Miklos Szeredi * kernel: cleanups 2006-10-13 Miklos Szeredi * kernel: Fix compilation on patched 2.6.18 (fc6) and 2.6.19. Report from David Shaw * lib: Fix lost error on renaming a file. Report from David Shaw * lib: Fix lost error on hiding open files (renaming to .fuse_hiddenXXXX) * kernel: Fix a rare hang on SMP/32bit on heavy filesystem activity. The cause of the bug was that some calls to i_size_write() were not protected by a lock, and hence i_size_seqcount could become corrupted. This caused subsequent calls to i_size_read() to spin forever. This is a long standing bug was probably introduced in version 2.2, and thought to be related to NFS exporting (it's not). It was reported by various people, but Dana Henriksen has finally helped me to track it down, so big thanks to him * kernel: Protect against truncation of a swapfile 2006-10-10 Miklos Szeredi * kernel: Check for signature of super_operations->umount_begin(). Ubuntu kernel 2.6.17 seems to use the new signature found in 2.6.18. Thanks to Florent Mertens for the report 2006-10-08 Miklos Szeredi * Make sure inode numers wrap around at 2^32. This is needed on dual 64bit/32bit architectures, because 32bit applications using the non-largefile interface would otherwise break (EOVERFLOW error would be returned by the stat() system call family) * ulockmgr: handle the case, when a locking operation fails because no more file desctriptors are available in ulockmgr_server. Also work around a Linux kernel bug (known to exist for all Linux kernel versions <= 2.6.18) which may cause sent file descriptors to be lost in the above case * ulockmgr: optimize file descriptor use * restore needed cpp flags to util/Makefile.am * Install udev rules as 99-fuse.rules instead of 60-fuse.rules * Minor clean up of udev rules * Add a synchronous DESTROY message to kernel interface. This is invoked from umount, when the final instance of the filesystem is released. It is only sent for filesystems mounted with the 'blkdev' option for security reasons. * If the DESTROY message is received, call the filesystem's ->destroy() method. In this case it's not called from session destruction as it would be otherwise. 2006-10-01 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.6.0-rc2 2006-10-01 Miklos Szeredi * Add support for FLUSH+RELEASE operation for FreeBSD. Original patch by Csaba Henk * Add init script to insert fuse module and mount the control filesystem. The script is installed as /etc/init.d/fuse and on debian based systems (where update-rc.d is available) symlinks from /etc/rc*.d/ are also installed. * Include '#define FUSE_USE_VERSION=XX' into examples so they become more self contained. 2006-09-30 Miklos Szeredi * API changes: * Move lock_owner from a separate argument into fuse_file_info * Add a flag to fuse_file_info indicating (1) a highlevel lock operation (unlock all) was initiated by a flush, (2) a lowlevel release operation should perform a flush as well. * fusermount: revert modprobe change (2006-08-18) since it doesn't work reliably with udev * Add support for block device backed filesystems. This mode is selected with the 'blkdev' option, which is privileged. * Add support for the bmap (FIBMAP ioctl) operation on block device backed filesystems. This allows swapon and lilo to work on such filesystems. * kernel changes: * Drop support for kernels earlier than 2.6.9. Kernel module from previous (2.5.x) release can be used with library from this release * In fuse_dentry_revalidate() use dget_parent() instead of dereferencing d_parent, since there's no protection against parent changing and going away * Protect nlookup from concurrent updates * In lookup if a directory alias exists but is unused, then get rid of it, otherwise return -EBUSY. * In mkdir if a directory alias exists, return success, but leave dentry negative. In reality this could happen if a remote rename immediately followed the mkdir. * Don't BUG in fuse_iget() if multiple retries are needed to get a good inode. This could happen if several lookups are racing for the same inode. 2006-09-29 Miklos Szeredi * Fix compilation on 2.6.9. Report from Troy Ayers 2006-09-27 Miklos Szeredi * Fix Oops in fuse_readpages(). Reported by David Shaw 2006-09-24 Csaba Henk * Add support for nanosec times on FreeBSD * Fix FreeBSD compatibility issues 2006-09-23 Miklos Szeredi * Fix one more compatibility bug. Thanks to Ricardo Correia * Fix utimens compilation with uClibc. Patch from Jamie Guinan 2006-09-22 Miklos Szeredi * Fixed several compatibility bugs in low level interface. Reported by Ricardo Correia * Add workaround for ARM caching bug 2006-09-16 Miklos Szeredi * Rename new utimes() method to more logical utimens() 2006-09-14 Miklos Szeredi * Fuse tried to unlink already unlinked hidden files. Bug reported by Milan Svoboda 2006-09-10 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.6.0-rc1 2006-09-10 Miklos Szeredi * kernel: Fix unlock on close for kernels < 2.6.18 * Add ulockmgr library & server. This can be used for handling file locking requests either directly from libfuse or over a network, etc. This first version is not optimized and the number of file descriptors it uses may get out of hand 2006-09-07 Miklos Szeredi * lib: Add interrupt support to high level library, which may be enabled with the 'intr' mount option. * When an operation is interrupted the thread handling that operation will receive SIGUSR1 (or other signal specified with the 'intr_signal=N' option). The library installs a no-op signal handler for this signal, unless there's already a handler installed. * The filesystem may query interrupt status (regardless of 'intr') with the fuse_interrupted() function. * mount.fuse: initialize $HOME if not set. Report from Sven Goldt 2006-09-03 Miklos Szeredi * lib: Multithreaded loop now allows unlimited number of threads. This is needed for locking operations which may block indefinitely. Also the kernel now doesn't limit the number of outstanding requests so the library shouldn't do so either. 2006-09-01 Miklos Szeredi * Fix recursive lock bug in interrupt handling * Add utimes() method to highlevel interface, which supports setting times with nanosecond resolution 2006-08-18 Miklos Szeredi * kernel: fix page leak if fuse_readpages() failed in it's initialization. Bug found and original patch from Alexander Zarochentsev * For linux kernels >=2.6.18 (2.6.19 if using the fuse module from the kernel tree) the statfs method will receive the path within the filesystem on which the stat(v)fs syscall was called * fusermount: try to modprobe fuse module if invoked by root and unable to open device. This is needed with udev, since the device node will be created only when the module is inserted, hence module autoloading won't work. Reported by Szakacsits Szabolcs 2006-07-30 Miklos Szeredi * fusermount: if selinux is active, restore the original file's security context in unmount_rename(). Redhat bugzilla id 188561. Patch from Yves Perrenoud * Add POSIX file locking operation to high level library * Initialize context for unlink of hidden files on umount. Bug reported by Tim Stoakes 2006-07-14 Miklos Szeredi * Multiple release() calls can race with each other, resulting in the hidden file being deleted before the last release finishes. Bug found and patch tested by Mark Huijgen 2006-07-05 Miklos Szeredi * fusermount: if /dev/fuse doesn't exist, suggest modprobing fuse; this makes sense on systems using udev. Reported by Szakacsits Szabolcs 2006-06-29 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.6.0-pre3 2006-06-29 Miklos Szeredi * Support in kernel module for file locking and interruption. The same functionality is available in official kernels >= 2.6.18 2006-06-28 Miklos Szeredi * Add POSIX file locking support * Add request interruption 2006-06-06 Miklos Szeredi * Add missing pthread_rwlock_destroy(). Patch from Remy Blank 2006-06-05 Remy Blank * lib: canonicalize mount point in fuse_helper_opt_proc() so that unmounting succeeds even if mount point was relative. 2006-06-04 Csaba Henk * lib: fix emergency umount in helper.c when malloc fails. (The way it was done would end up in a segfault.) 2006-06-01 Csaba Henk * lib: adjust threading related compiler flags. Switch to "-pthread" from "-lpthread" as that's the preferred one on several platforms. Consulted with Terrence Cole and Miklos Szeredi 2006-05-08 Miklos Szeredi * lib: search fusermount in installation directory (bindir) as well as in PATH. 2006-05-03 Miklos Szeredi * lib: fix compilation if CLOCK_MONOTONIC is not defined. Reported by Christian Magnusson 2006-04-23 Csaba Henk * lib: make FreeBSD mount routine recognize if kernel features backgrounded init and if it does, run the mount util in foreground (similarly to Linux) 2006-04-21 Miklos Szeredi * kernel: fix fput deadlock fix, the lockless solution could lead to "VFS: busy inodes after umount..." * kernel: fix race between checking and setting file->private_data for the device. Found by Al Viro 2006-04-11 Miklos Szeredi * kernel: remove request pool, instead allocate requests on demand. Account the number of background requests, and if they go over a limit, block the allocation of new requests. * kernel: fix deadlock if backgrounded request holds the last reference to the super block * kernel: don't use fuse_reset_request() during direct I/O 2006-04-06 Csaba Henk * lib: Let FreeBSD mount option parsing routine recognize "no" prefixes for FUSE specific options as well 2006-04-01 Miklos Szeredi * lib: Add missing rwlock initialization. Patch by Ryan Bradetich 2006-03-17 Miklos Szeredi * API changes: * fuse_main(), fuse_setup() and fuse_new() have an additionl user_data parameter * fuse_mount() returns a 'struct fuse_chan' pointer instead of a file descriptor * fuse_unmount() receives a 'struct fuse_chan' pointer. It destroys the given channel * fuse_teardown() no longer has a file descriptor parameter * new exported functions: fuse_session_remove_chan(), fuse_get_session(), fuse_daemonize() * fuse_chan_recv() may now return a new channel which will be used to send the reply 2006-03-16 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.6.0-pre2 2006-03-16 Miklos Szeredi * Don't unmount if already unmounted. This fixes a problem seen in the following situation: Lazy unmount a busy filesystem; Mount a new one in top; When the first finally unmounts, the second also unmounts. Reported by Franco Broi 2006-03-15 Miklos Szeredi * lowlevel lib: use indirect function calls instead of a switch/case construct. Besides increased efficiency it helps maintainability & readability too. Patch from Florin Malita 2006-03-13 Miklos Szeredi * kernel: replace global spinlock with a per-connection spinlock 2006-03-10 Miklos Szeredi * Fix source compatibility breakage for fuse_unmount(). Report from Yura Pakhuchiy 2006-03-02 Miklos Szeredi * Fix O_ASYNC handling in fuse_dev_release(). From Jeff Dike 2006-03-01 Miklos Szeredi * Add O_ASYNC and O_NONBLOCK support to FUSE device. Patch by Jeff Dike * Renamed fuse_chan_receive() to fuse_chan_recv() and changed interface to return -errno in case of error. 2006-03-01 Csaba Henk * libfuse: pass device file descriptor to fuse_unmount(), rewrite FreeBSD implementation so that it uses libc (sysctl backed) instead of an embdedded script (kmem backed). Adjust the control flow of hello_ll so that device doesn't get closed before unmount attempt. 2006-02-25 Miklos Szeredi * Lowlevel lib: return all-zero statvfs data if filesystem doesn't implement method. This is needed on FreeBSD, and nicer on Linux too. Highlevel lib already did this. Reported by Csaba Henk * Fix negative entry handling. There was a bug, that negative lookups with timeouts (nodeid == 0) returned -EIO. 2006-02-23 Miklos Szeredi * Fix race between RELEASE and UNLINK, which might leave .fuse_hidden* files around 2006-02-21 Miklos Szeredi * fusexmp_fh: implement flush() method and call close() on the open file descriptor. This is needed if used on an NFS filesystem, which buffers data until file is closed. Franco Broi spotted the situation when 'cp -p' failed to set the modification time because of this. 2006-02-20 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.6.0-pre1 2006-02-19 Miklos Szeredi * libfuse: fix use-after-free bug in interruptred reply_entry(). Patch from John Muir * libfuse: fix wrong symbol versioning for fuse_mount. Debian bug ID: 352631. Found by Stéphane Rosi 2006-02-17 Miklos Szeredi * Lowlevel lib: Unify fuse_dirent_size() and fuse_add_dirent() into a single function fuse_add_direntry(). This cleans up the interface and makes it possible to do stacking. 2006-02-16 Miklos Szeredi * Fix rare race betweeen abort and release caused by failed iget() in fuse_create_open(). * Add 'ac_attr_timeout' option e.g. for filesystems which do their own attribute caching. 2006-02-15 Miklos Szeredi * Work around FreeBSD runtime linker "feature" which binds an old version of a symbol to internal references if the symbol has more than one version. This resulted in infinite recursion in fuse_lowlevel_new_compat25(). 2006-02-10 Csaba Henk * Refine clock_gettime() querying so that linker options shall be set as it's appropriate for the target platform. 2006-02-09 Miklos Szeredi * Fix udev rule syntax. Reported by Nix 2006-02-08 Miklos Szeredi * In some cases udev rule seems to be ineffective when installed as 40-fuse.rules but work as 60-fuse.rules. Reported by John Hunt 2006-02-03 Miklos Szeredi * Fix compilation when build directory is different from source directory. Reported by Frédéric L. W. Meunier 2006-02-02 Miklos Szeredi * Fix even bigger bug introduced in fix for request_end() on 2006-01-14. Reported by Gal Rosen 2006-01-30 Miklos Szeredi * highlevel-lib: add 'auto_cache' option. This caches file data based on modification time and size 2006-01-20 Miklos Szeredi * Sanitize storage type and help message in mount_bsd.c. Patch from Csaba Henk * fuse_opt: add new helper constants FUSE_OPT_KEY_KEEP and FUSE_OPT_KEY_DISCARD * Add options 'max_readahead', 'sync_read' and 'async_read' * Kernel ABI version 7.6: * Negotiate the 'max_readahead' value and 'async_read' flags with userspace in the INIT method * Add connection info to ->init() methods to both lowlevel and highlevel API * Fall back to synchronous read() behavior if either library or userspace filesystem is using the old interface version. This is needed so non-updated filesystems won't be confused by the different read() behavior 2006-01-19 Miklos Szeredi * lib: if "fsname=" option was given, pass it to fusermount * fuse_opt: add new fuse_opt_insert_arg() function, which is needed by filesystems to implement some argument manipulations correctly * fuse_opt: fix memory leak in handling "--" option 2006-01-18 Miklos Szeredi * kernel: fix detection of case when fuse is not configured into the kernel either as module or built-in * fuse_opt.h: fix incompatibility with C++ compilers by renaming 'template' structure member to 'templ'. Reported by Takashi Iwai * fuse.h: fix compatibility bugs. Patch by Yura Pakhuchiy * kernel: support version 2.6.16 (i_sem -> i_mutex) 2006-01-16 Miklos Szeredi * Added (again) asynchronous readpages support * Each connection now shows up under /sys/fs/fuse/connections * Connection attributes exported to sysfs: 'waiting' number of waiting requests; 'abort' abort the connection * Connection may be aborted through either the sysfs interface or with 'umount -f mountpoint' 2006-01-14 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.5.0 2006-01-14 Miklos Szeredi * kernel: fix a couple of bugs * Order of request_end() and fuse_copy_finish() was wrong. Posthumous note: Franco Broi managed to exploit this, though it seemed quite impossible * request_end() used request pointer after decrementing refcount * Clearing ->connected or ->mounted connection flags could race with setting other bitfields not protected with a lock 2006-01-10 Miklos Szeredi * kernel: add necessary compile flags for 2.4.X/x86_64. Report from Sean Ziegeler 2006-01-09 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.5.0-pre2 2006-01-09 Miklos Szeredi * Applied patch from Csaba Henk, to update mount_bsd to new fuse_mount() semantics * Ignore auto,noauto,... options in mount.fuse. Reported by Frank Steiner and Don Taber * fusermount: add 'dirsync' mount option 2006-01-07 Miklos Szeredi * Improved help reporting and added version reporting to library 2006-01-06 Miklos Szeredi * Change working directory to "/" even if running in the foreground. Patch from Jonathan Brandmeyer * Changed lots of functions to use 'struct fuse_args' instead of separate argc and argv * Added fuse_parse_cmdline(), fuse_set_signal_handlers() and fuse_remove_signal_handlers() functions, so that it's now pretty easy to get all the functionality of fuse_main() with a filesystem using the lowlevel API. 2006-01-02 Miklos Szeredi * mount.fuse: the 'user' option should be ignored. Report and solution from Mattd. * mount.fuse: export PATH in the right place. Report and patch from Hannes Schweizer 2005-12-16 Miklos Szeredi * Clean up the option parsing interface slightly, by creating an "argument list" structure, that contains the argument vector and count 2005-12-15 Miklos Szeredi * fusermount: check if /mnt/mtab is a symlink and don't modify it in that case * kernel: simplify request size limiting. INIT only contains maximum write size, maximum path component size remains fixed at 1024 bytes, and maximum xattr size depends on read buffer. 2005-12-14 Miklos Szeredi * Fix readdir() failure on x86_64, of 32bit programs compiled without largefile support. Bug report and help from Anthony Kolasny * If lookup returns invalid mode, return -EIO instead of creating a regular file * Add current output argument vector to option processing function 2005-12-12 Miklos Szeredi * Fix stale code in ifdef FreeBSD. Patch from Csaba Henk 2005-12-09 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.5.0-pre1 2005-12-09 Miklos Szeredi * libfuse: added option parsing interface, defined in . 2005-12-07 Miklos Szeredi * Return EIO for file operations (read, write, fsync, flush) on open files whose inode has become "bad". Inodes will be marked "bad" if their type changes. Bug report by Csaba Henk 2005-12-06 Miklos Szeredi * Use bigger request buffer size. write() did not work on archs with > 4k page size, Bug report by Mark Haney * ABI version 7.5: * Extend INIT reply with data size limits 2005-12-02 Miklos Szeredi * Fix memory leak in fuse_read_cmd()/fuse_process_cmd().

Bug report by Mark Haney * In multithreaded loop send a TERM signal to the main thread if one of the other threads exit. Needed on FreeBSD for a clean exit on umount. Should not cause any harm on Linux either 2005-11-28 Miklos Szeredi * Fix bug in 32-bit file handle compatibility 2005-11-27 Miklos Szeredi * Block TERM, INT, HUP and QUIT signals in all but the main thread. According to POSIX it's not specified which thread will receive these signals. * Kernel changes: * Check for directory aliasing on mkdir, not just on lookup * Check for special node ID values in create+open operation * Sync with -mm: readv, writev, aio_read and aio_write methods added to file operations * Cleanups: lookup code, page offset calculation * ABI stepped to 7.4, changes: * frsize member added to fuse_kstatfs structure * added support for negative entry caching: on lowlevel API if fuse_entry_param::ino is set to zero in reply to a lookup request, the kernel will cache the dentry for the specified amount of time. * libfuse: added 'negative_timeout' option: specifies how much negative entries should be cached. Default is zero, to be compatible with prior versions 2005-11-22 Miklos Szeredi * Add detection of mainline FUSE code in running kernel 2005-11-21 Miklos Szeredi * Don't use async cancelation in multithreaded loop. This makes it more portable to systems where read() is not async cancel safe. Report from Andriy Gapon 2005-11-20 Miklos Szeredi * Warn if API version 11 compatibility is requested 2005-11-17 Miklos Szeredi * More FreeBSD merge * fusermount: don't allow mountpoints with '\n', '\t', or '\\' in them, because it corrupts /etc/mtab. Found by Thomas Biege CVE-2005-3531 * libfuse: don't use system() to invoke 'fusermount -u ...' because it breaks mountpoints with spaces in them into multiple arguments 2005-11-16 Miklos Szeredi * Merge library part of FreeBSD port. Patch by Csaba Henk 2005-11-11 Miklos Szeredi * Use 64bit type for file handle, so the full range supported by the kernel interface is available to applications 2005-11-10 Miklos Szeredi * Moved mountpoint argument checking from fuse_parse_cmdline() to fuse_mount() in preparation to FreeBSD merge. 2005-11-08 Miklos Szeredi * Remove unneeded close() from fuse_teardown(). Spotted by Csaba Henk. 2005-11-07 Miklos Szeredi * Make the statfs change backwards compatible. 2005-11-06 Miklos Szeredi * Change ->statfs() method to use 'struct statvfs' instead of 'struct statfs'. This makes the API more portable since statvfs() is defined by POSIX. 2005-10-28 Miklos Szeredi * Add fgetattr() method, which currently will only be called after a successful call to a create() method. 2005-10-26 Miklos Szeredi * Change kernel ABI version to 7.3 * Add ACCESS operation. This is called from the access() system call if 'default_permissions' mount option is not given, and is not called on kernels 2.4.* * Add atomic CREATE+OPEN operation. This will only work with 2.6.15 (presumably) or later Linux kernels. * Add ftruncate() method. This will only work with 2.6.15 (presumably) or later Linux kernels. * Fix kernel module compile if kernel source and build directories differ.

Bugreport by Václav Jůza 2005-08-03 Miklos Szeredi * fix warnings in fuse.h and fuse_lowlevel.h if -Wshadow compiler option is used (Paul Alfille). 2005-08-02 Miklos Szeredi * highlevel-lib: added mount options "attr_timeout" and "entry_timeout". These options control the length of time file attributes and entries (names) are cached. Both default to 1.0 second. * kernel: correctly handle zero timeout for attributes and entries 2005-08-01 Miklos Szeredi * Added missing symbols to versionscript (Joshua J. Berry) * kernel: implement two flags, open can set: 'direct_io' and 'keep_cache'. These correspond exactly to mount options 'direct_io' and 'kernel_cache', but allow a per-open setting. * Move 'direct_io' and 'kernel_cache' mount option handling to userspace. For both mount options, if the option is given, then the respective open flag is set, otherwise the open flag is left unmodified (so the filesystem can set it). * lib (highlevel): make open method optional 2005-07-28 Miklos Szeredi * kernel: invalidate attributes for read/readdir/readlink operations * kernel: detect newer UML kernels 2005-07-26 Miklos Szeredi * Make the installation path of fuse.ko and mount.fuse configurable through INSTALL_MOD_PATH and MOUNT_FUSE_PATH environment variables. Requirement and help from Csaba Henk. 2005-07-22 Miklos Szeredi * Fix bug, that causes filesystem requests to hang when unique request counter becomes negative. This happens after 2,147,483,648 operations, so most people won't care. Thanks to Franco Broi for the report and testing. 2005-07-21 Miklos Szeredi * Don't change mtime/ctime/atime to local time on read/write. Bug reported by Ben Grimm * Install fuse_common.h and fuse_lowlevel.h. Report by Christian Magnusson * fusermount: use getopt_long() for option parsing. It allows the use of '--' to stop argument scanning, so fusermount can now operate on directories whose names begin with a '-'. Patch by Adam Connell 2005-07-15 Miklos Szeredi * fusermount: add '-v', '--version' and '--help' options * add inode based API 2005-07-12 Miklos Szeredi * lib: don't block signals in worker threads. Problem noticed by Usarin Heininga 2005-07-07 Miklos Szeredi * lib: don't allow both 'allow_other' and 'allow_root' options to be given 2005-07-06 Miklos Szeredi * fusermount: check if mountpoint is empty (only '.' and '..' for directories, and size = 0 for regular files). If "nonempty" option is given, omit this check. This is useful, so users don't accidentally hide data (e.g. from backup programs). Thanks to Frank van Maarseveen for pointing this out. * kernel: check if mandatory mount options ('fd', 'rootmode', 'user_id', 'group_id') are all given * lib: simplify 'readdir_ino' handling * lib: add mount options 'umask=M', 'uid=N', 'gid=N' 2005-07-03 Miklos Szeredi * kernel: clean up 'direct_io' code 2005-06-28 Miklos Szeredi * Add 'mount.fuse' written by Petr Klima * '/dev/fuse' is created by 'make install' if does not yet exist 2005-06-20 Miklos Szeredi * Fix UCLIBC compile error. Patch by Christian Magnusson 2005-06-08 Miklos Szeredi * Enable the auto-loading of the module via access to the corresponding device file. Patch by Takashi Iwai. * Allow mounting a regular file (over a regular file) for unprivleged users. * Do not create temporary device file. Require "/dev/fuse" to exist, and be readable/writable by the mounting user. 2005-06-02 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.3.0 2005-06-02 Miklos Szeredi * Fix serious information leak: if the filesystem returns a short byte count to a read request, and there are non-zero number of pages which are not filled at all, these pages will not be zeroed. Hence the user can read out previous memory contents. Found by Sven Tantau. 2005-05-27 Miklos Szeredi * Add "readdir_ino" mount option, which tries to fill in the d_ino field in struct dirent. This mount option is ignored if "use_ino" is used. It helps some programs (e.g. 'pwd' used over NFS from a non-Linux OS). Patch by David Shaw. 2005-05-12 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.3-rc1 2005-05-12 Miklos Szeredi * File save in krusader and other editors doesn't work with sshfs, because open() is interrupted by a periodic signal, and open() restarts forever, without any progress. This could just be fixed in open(), but the problem is more generic: if signals are received more often than the filesystem can get the request to userspace, it will never finish. This is probably only a theoretical problem, nevertheless I'm removing the possibility to interrupt requests with anything other than SIGKILL, even before being sent to userspace. Bugreport by Eduard Czimbalmos. 2005-05-09 Miklos Szeredi * libfuse: add "tree_lock" rwlock, that is locked for write in rename, unlink and rmdir, and locked for read in all other operations. This should fix the rename/release race reported by Valient Gough and others. The solution is very coarse, a finer grained locking scheme could be implemented, but it would be much more complex. Let's see whether this is good enough. 2005-05-09 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.3-pre7 2005-05-08 Miklos Szeredi * Better fix for out of order FORGET messages. Now the LOOKUP/FORGET messages are balanced exactly (one FORGET can balance many lookups), so the order no longer matters. This changes the kernel ABI slightly, but the library remains backward compatible. 2005-05-06 Miklos Szeredi * Fix abort for out of order FORGET messages. Again. Spotted by Franco Broi again. Sorry :) 2005-04-29 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.3-pre6 2005-04-29 Miklos Szeredi * Make fusermount work with fuse kernel modules not yet supporting the "group_id" option (added for the purpose of stricter permission checking). 2005-04-28 Miklos Szeredi * Check for hard-linked directories in lookup. This could cause problems in the VFS, which assumes that such objects never exist. * Make checking of permission for other users more strict. Now the same privilege is required for the mount owner as for ptrace on the process performing the filesystem operation. 2005-04-23 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.3-pre5 2005-04-22 Miklos Szeredi * Add -msoft-float to kernel module compile flags for 2.4.X. This is needed on certain architectures. Report from Chris Kirby * Fix buggy behavior of open(..., O_CREAT|O_EXCL) if interrupted. Reported by David Shaw * Remove "allow_root" option from kernel module, and implement it's functionality in the library * Fix Oops caused by premature release of fuse_conn. Clean up related code, to be more readable * Sendfile should not use page cache if "direct_io" mount option is given 2005-04-08 Miklos Szeredi * Fix Oops in case of nfs export. Spotted by David Shaw * Fix another Oops in case of write over nfs with direct_io turned on. Again spotted by David Shaw 2005-04-07 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.3-pre4 2005-04-07 Miklos Szeredi * lib: finalized new readdir() interface, which now supersedes the getdir() method. 2005-04-03 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.3-pre3 2005-04-03 Miklos Szeredi * Implement backward compatibility with version 5 kernel ABI 2005-04-01 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.3-pre2 2005-04-01 Miklos Szeredi * kernel: fix dirent offset handling * lib: add readdir and releasedir methods * lib: use fh field of fuse_file_info in opendir, readdir, releasedir and fsyncdir methods * lib: check kernel API version and bail out of it's old. This will be properly fixed in the next release 2005-03-31 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.3-pre1 2005-03-31 Miklos Szeredi * kernel API: add padding to structures, so 64bit and 32bit compiler will return the same size * kernel API: add offset field to fuse_dirent. This will allow more sophisticated readdir interface for userspace * kernel API: change major number to 6 * kernel: fix warnings on 64bit archs * kernel: in case of API version mismatch, return ECONNREFUSED 2005-03-24 Miklos Szeredi * kernel: trivial cleanups 2005-03-21 Miklos Szeredi * Add fsyncdir() operation 2005-03-19 Miklos Szeredi * kernel: add locking to background list (fixes previous fix) 2005-03-18 Miklos Szeredi * kernel: fix bug which could cause leave busy inodes after unmount, and Oops. 2005-03-08 Miklos Szeredi * examples: add -lpthread to link flags to work around valgrind quirk * lib: don't exit threads, so cancelation doesn't cause segfault 2005-03-04 Miklos Szeredi * kernel: fix nasty bug which could cause an Oops under certain situations. Found by Magnus Johansson 2005-02-28 Miklos Szeredi * libfuse: added opendir() method. This can be used in case permission checking in getdir() is too late. Thanks to Usarin Heininga for pointing out this deficiency * libfuse: added init() and destroy() methods to fuse_operations * kernel: llseek() method for files and directories made explicit * kernel: fixed inode leak in NFS export in case of nodeid wrapping 2005-02-15 Miklos Szeredi * libfuse: clean up some unitialized memory found with valgrind * Add -lpthread to Libs in fuse.pc. Valgrind seems to need an explicitly linked libpthread for applications 2005-02-10 Miklos Szeredi * fusermount: set umask, otherwise /etc/mtab will have unpredictable permission. Spotted by Jindrich Kolorenc * fusermount: set owner and group of /etc/mtab to original values on unmount * libfuse: add 'use_ino' option to help. Patch by Valient Gough 2005-02-07 Miklos Szeredi * Cleaned up directory reading (temporary file is not used) 2005-02-02 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.2 2005-02-02 Miklos Szeredi * Fix possible race when operation is interrupted 2005-01-28 Miklos Szeredi * Fix compilation on 2.6.7 2005-01-26 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.2-pre6 2005-01-26 Miklos Szeredi * Fix bug in link() operation which caused the wrong path to be passed as the first argument. Found by Anton Altaparmakov 2005-01-21 Miklos Szeredi * LIB: fix double reply in readdir operation * fusermount: fix uid checking bug. Patch by Adam Connell * KERNEL: fix compile on various RedHat patched 2.4 kernels. Patch by Keshava Gowda 2005-01-20 Miklos Szeredi * KERNEL: provide correct llseek semantics for fuse device (fixes a bug on Progeny 2.4.20 kernel). Reported by Valient Gough 2005-01-20 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.2-pre5 (matches kernel 2.6.11-rc1-mm2) 2005-01-18 Miklos Szeredi * KERNEL ABI: remove GETDIR operation, and add OPENDIR, READDIR and RELEASEDIR. This ends the ugly hack of passing a file descriptor to the kernel, and actually makes the code simpler. 2005-01-17 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.2-pre4 2005-01-17 Miklos Szeredi * fusermount: remove capability setting, which was the cause of problems for some users. It seems that FS related capabilities are removed by setfsuid(), so this isn't even needed. 2005-01-15 Miklos Szeredi * fix compilation on 2.4 kernels (reported by Valient Gough) * fix failure to unmount bug (found by David Shaw) * fusermount: improve parsing of /etc/fuse.conf 2005-01-13 Miklos Szeredi * Remove 'mount_max' and 'user_allow_other' module options. These are now checked by fusermount, and can be set in /etc/fuse.conf * KERNEL: change check for fsid == 0 to capable(CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE) 2005-01-11 Miklos Szeredi * KERNEL: fix possible inode allocation problem, where sizeof(struct inode) is not aligned (found by Mike Waychison) * KERNEL: use new follow_link/put_link methods * KERNEL: cosmetic fixes 2005-01-10 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.2-pre3 2005-01-10 Miklos Szeredi * Add missing code that was accidently left out 2005-01-09 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.2-pre2 2005-01-09 Miklos Szeredi * Change "uid" mount option to "user_id" to avoid confusion with a mount option "uid" commonly used by many filesystems 2005-01-09 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.2-pre1 2005-01-09 Miklos Szeredi * If FUSE is configured in the kernel, don't build it by default 2005-01-07 Miklos Szeredi * Compile fix by Christian Magnusson 2005-01-05 Miklos Szeredi * Fix compilation for 2.6.{0-5} kernels 2005-01-04 Miklos Szeredi * KERNEL: if request is interrupted, still keep reference to used inode(s) and file, so that FORGET and RELEASE are not sent until userspace finishes the request. * remove /{sys,proc}/fs/fuse/version, and instead add an INIT request with the same information, which is more flexible, simpler, works on embedded systems. 2004-12-16 Miklos Szeredi * KERNEL ABI: update interface to make it independent of type sizes. This will help on 64 bit architectures which can run legacy 32 bit applications. * KERNEL ABI: add "len" field to request headers. This will allow sending/receiving requests in multiple chunks. * KERNEL: handle file type change more intelligently * LIB: "-o debug" option should disable backgrounding (fix by Fabien Reygrobellet) 2004-12-13 Miklos Szeredi * KERNEL: invalidate dentry/attributes if interrupted request could leave filesystem in an unknown state. 2004-12-12 Miklos Szeredi * KERNEL: lots of cleanups related to avoiding possible deadlocks. These will cause some regressions, but stability is considered more important. If any of these features turns out to be important, it can be readded with the deadlock problems addressed. * Make all requests interruptible (only with SIGKILL currently). This can be used to break any deadlock produced by the userspace filesystem accessing it's own exported files. The RELEASE request is special, because if it's interrupted before sending it to userspace it is still sent, but the reply is not awaited. * If request is interrupted before being sent to userspace, and if it hasn't yet got any side effects, it is always restarted, regardless of the SA_RESTART flag. This makes these interruptions transparent to the process. * Remove shared-writable mmap support, which was prone to an out-of-memory deadlock situation * Remove INVALIDATE userspace initiated request * Make readpages() synchronous. Asynchronous requests are deadlock prone, since they cannot be interrupted. * Add readv/writev support to fuse device operations * Remove some printks, which userspace FS can use for a DoS against syslog * Remove 'large_read' mount option from 2.6 in kernel, check it in fusermount instead * LIB: improve compatibility with a fuse.h header installed in ${prefix}/include which in turn includes the real header. * LIB: improve compatibility by defining fuse_main() (which is now not used), so old configure scripts find it. 2004-12-10 Miklos Szeredi * When mounting on a subdirectory of / don't duplicate slashes at the beggining of path (spotted by David Shaw) 2004-12-09 Miklos Szeredi * Fix bug causing garbage in mount options (spotted by David Shaw) 2004-12-07 Miklos Szeredi * Add 'writepage' flag to 'fuse_file_info'. * More comments in fuse.h * Get rid of double underscores 2004-12-04 Miklos Szeredi * Add -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 to cflags provided by pkg-config * helper.c: add -ho option, which only displays the options not the usage header. This can be used by filesystems which have their own options. 2004-12-03 Miklos Szeredi * Add source compatibility to 2.1 and 1.1 APIs. To select betwen versions simply define FUSE_USE_VERSION to 22, 21 or 11 before including the fuse header * Add binary compatibility to 2.1 version of library with symbol versioning 2004-12-03 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.1 2004-12-01 Miklos Szeredi * kernel: clean up writing functions * kernel: no allocation on write in direct_io mode * move linux/fuse.h to fuse_kernel.h 2004-11-30 Miklos Szeredi * kernel: clean up reading functions 2004-11-29 Miklos Szeredi * kernel: make readpage() uninterruptible * kernel: check readonly filesystem flag in fuse_permission * lib: don't die if version file not found and new style device exists * lib: add '-r' option, which is short for '-o ro' * fusermount: simplify device opening * kernel: when direct_io is turend on, copy data directly to destination without itermediate buffer. More efficient and safer, since no allocation is done. * fusermount: fix warning if fuse module is not loaded * kernel: use /dev/fuse on 2.4 too 2004-11-26 Miklos Szeredi * libfuse API change: open, read, write, flush, fsync and release are passed a 'struct fuse_file_info' pointer containing the open flags (open and release), and the file handle. Verion changed to 3.0. 2004-11-23 Miklos Szeredi * More cleanups in the kernel * The 10,229 charater device number has been assigned for FUSE * Version file checking fix (reported by Christian Magnusson) * fusermount: opening the fuse device now doesn't need /sys. * Optimize reading by controlling the maximum readahead based on the 'max_read' mount option * fixes for UCLIBC (Christian Magnusson) 2004-11-19 Miklos Szeredi * Cleaned up kernel in preparation for merge into mainline: * Use /sys/fs/fuse/version instead of /proc/fs/fuse/version * Use real device (/dev/fuse) instead of /proc/fs/fuse/dev * __user annotations for sparse * allocate individual pages instead of kmalloc in fuse_readdir, fuse_read and fuse_write. * Fix NFS export in case "use_ino" mount option is given * Make libfuse and fusermount compatible with future versions * fusermount: properly add mount options to /etc/mtab 2004-11-15 Miklos Szeredi * fusermount: do not resolve last component of mountpoint on if it is '.' or '..'. This new path resolvation is now done on mount as well as unmount. This enables relative paths to work on unmount. * fusermount: parse common mount options like "ro", "rw", etc... * Allow module params to be changed through sysfs 2004-11-14 Miklos Szeredi * Released 2.1-pre1 2004-11-14 Miklos Szeredi * Fix bug in fuse_readpages() causing Oops in certain situations. Bug found by Vincenzo Ciancia. * Fix compilation with kernels versions > 2.6.9. 2004-11-11 Miklos Szeredi * Check kernel interface version in fusermount to prevent strangeness in case of mismatch. * No need to allocate fuse_conn until actual mount happens * Fix potential race between umount and fuse_invalidate * Check superblock of proc file in addition to inode number * Fix race between request_send_noreply() and fuse_dev_release() 2004-11-10 Miklos Szeredi * Separate configure for the kernel directory * Don't allow write to return more than 'count' * Extend kernel interface for future use 2004-11-09 Miklos Szeredi * Fix 'makeconf.sh' to use autoreconf if available 2004-11-08 Miklos Szeredi * Add ino argument to 'fuse_dirfil_t'. NOTE: This breaks source compatibility with earlier versions. To compile earier versions just add '-DFUSE_DIRFIL_COMPAT' compile flag or fix the source. Do not use the "use_ino" mount flag with filesystems compiled with FUSE_DIRFIL_COMPAT. * Add pkg-config support. To compile a FUSE based filesystem you can do "gcc -Wall `pkg-config --cflags --libs fuse` myfs.c -o myfs" or similar. Note, that the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable usually needs to be set to "/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig". * fuse.h is now installed in ${prefix}/include/fuse/ 2004-11-02 Miklos Szeredi * Added "use_ino" mount option. This enables the filesystems to set the st_ino field on files 2004-11-01 Miklos Szeredi * Fix compile problems with ancient (<=2.4.18) kernels (reported by Jeremy Smith) * Add "allow_root" mount option. Patch by Yaroslav Rastrigin * Clear the 'exited' flag when mail loop is finished 2004-10-28 Miklos Szeredi * Make xattr functions work under 2.6 (bug found by Vincenzo Ciancia) 2004-10-26 Miklos Szeredi * Reset request in fuse_flush() (bugreport by David Shaw) 2004-10-21 Miklos Szeredi * fuse_main() now does not exit on error, rather it returns an error code * Exported __fuse_setup() and __fuse_teardown() functions, which make it easier to implement a custom event loop. * Use daemon() call to background the filesystem after mounting. This function closes the standard input, output and error and changes the current working directory to "/". 2004-10-14 Miklos Szeredi * Released 1.9 2004-10-09 Miklos Szeredi * Don't allow fuse_flush() to be interrupted (bug found by David Shaw) 2004-09-27 Miklos Szeredi * Add PID to fuse_context. Patch by Steven James * Change file handle type to 'unsigned long' in kernel interface 2004-09-22 Miklos Szeredi * A slight API change: fuse_get_context() doesn't need the "fuse" pointer, but the returned context contains it instead. The fuse_get() function is not needed anymore, so it's removed. * Fix mounting and umounting FUSE filesystem under another FUSE filesystem by non-root (bug spotted by Valient Gough) 2004-09-21 Miklos Szeredi * Fix deadlock in case of memory allocation failure. Patch by Christian Magnusson 2004-09-16 Miklos Szeredi * Check memory allocation failures in libfuse 2004-09-14 Miklos Szeredi * Check temporary file creation failure in do_getdir(). Bug spotted by Terje Oseberg 2004-09-13 Miklos Szeredi * Allow "large_read" option for 2.6 kernels but warn of deprecation * Make requests non-interruptible so race with FORGET is avoided. This is only a temporary solution * Support compiling FUSE kernel module on 2.4.x UML kernels 2004-09-09 Miklos Szeredi * Fix bug in case two FORGETs for the same node are executed in the wrong order. Bug spotted and endured for months by Franco Broi, and logfile for solution provided by Terje Oseberg 2004-09-01 Miklos Szeredi * Add -D_REENTRANT to the compile flags * Add documentation of fuse internals by Terje Oseberg 2004-08-16 Miklos Szeredi * Change release method to be non-interruptible. Fixes bug causing missing release() call when program which has opened files is killed (reported by Franco Broi and David Shaw) 2004-07-29 Miklos Szeredi * Add fuse_invalidate() to library API 2004-07-26 Miklos Szeredi * Check permissions in setattr if 'default_permissions' flag is set. Bug spotted by Damjan Lango 2004-07-24 Miklos Szeredi * 'large_read' mount option removed for 2.6 kernels, since the default (dynamic read size) is better * Extend kernel API with file handles. A file handle is returned by open, and passed to read, write, flush, fsync and release. This is currently only used for debug output in the library. * Security changes: * Change the current directory to the mountpoint before checking the permissions and mount filesystem on "." * By default don't modprobe the fuse module for non-root. The old behavior can be restored with the '--enable-auto-modprobe' flag of ./configure * By default don't allow shared writable mappings for non-root. The old behavior can be restored with the 'user_mmap=1' module parameter 2004-07-23 Miklos Szeredi * Clean up mount option passing to fusermount and to fuse_new() BEWARE: this changes the userspace API slightly, and the command line usage of programs using fuse_main() 2004-07-20 Miklos Szeredi * Optimize reading under 2.6 kernels by issuing multiple page asynchronous read requests 2004-07-18 Miklos Szeredi * Only use redirty_page_for_writepage() for kernels >= 2.6.6 2004-07-16 Miklos Szeredi * Separate directory entry and inode attribute validity timer * New write semaphore to stop page writeback during truncate * Fsync now waits for all writes to complete before sending the request * Optimization: if a page is completely written by fuse_commit_write(), clear the dirty flag and set the uptodate flag for that page * Some memory cleanup at exit 2004-07-13 Miklos Szeredi * Add FUSE_HARD_REMOVE flag, and '-i' option to fuse main, which disable the "hide if open" behavior of unlink/rename. * If temporary buffer allocation fails in raw read, fall back to a smaller buffer 2004-07-12 Miklos Szeredi * Fix bug in do_open() in libfuse: open count was incremented after the reply is sent so it could race with unlink/forget and cause an abort. 2004-07-08 Miklos Szeredi * When performing create or remove operation, refresh the parent's attributes on next revalidate, as i_nlink (and maybe size/time) could be inacurate. * Use redirty_page_for_writepage() in fuse_writepage() for skipped pages (2.6 only) * Set set_page_dirty address space operation (2.6 only) 2004-07-06 Miklos Szeredi * Minor fix in read: print debug info even if read size is zero 2004-07-04 Miklos Szeredi * Fix race between truncate and writepage (fsx-linux now runs without error) 2004-07-02 Miklos Szeredi * Fix kernel hang on mkfifo under 2.4 kernels (spotted and patch by Mattias Wadman) * Added option for direct read/write (-r) * Fix revalidate time setting for newly created inodes * Remove uid==0 check for '-x' option in fusermount (kernel checks this) * fuse_main() only installs handlers for signals (out of INT, HUP, TERM, PIPE), for which no handler has yet been installed * Add module option 'user_allow_other' which if set to non-zero will allow non root user to specify the 'allow_other' mount option ('-x' option of fusermount) * Fix deadlock between page writeback completion and truncate (bug found by Valient Gough with the fsx-linux utility) 2004-07-01 Miklos Szeredi * Change passing fuse include dir to 2.6 kernel make system more robust (fixes compile problems seen on SuSE 9.1 with updated 2.6 kernel) 2004-06-30 Miklos Szeredi * Acquire inode->i_sem before open and release methods to prevent concurrent rename or unlink operations. * Make __fuse_read_cmd() read only one command. This allows multiplexing the fuse file descriptor with other event sources using select() or poll() (patch by Jeff Harris) * Export 'exited' flag with __fuse_exited() (patch by Jeff Harris) 2004-06-27 Miklos Szeredi * Fix file offset wrap around at 4G when doing large reads 2004-06-24 Miklos Szeredi * Fix memory leak in open (Valient Gough) 2004-06-24 Miklos Szeredi * Add "close after delete" support to libfuse (patch by Valient Gough) * Cancel all worker threads before exit in multithreaded mode 2004-06-23 Miklos Szeredi * Fix locking bugs * Don't send reply to RELEASE * Work with newer libtool (1.5a) * Check for st_atim member of struct stat 2004-06-22 Miklos Szeredi * No request allocation needed on inode and file release 2004-06-21 Miklos Szeredi * Fix possible inode leak in userspace in case of unfinished lookup/mknod/mkdir/symlink/link operation. 2004-06-20 Miklos Szeredi * Fix some races and cleanups in fuse_read_super() 2004-06-19 Miklos Szeredi * Requests are allocated at open time 2004-06-03 Miklos Szeredi * Build shared library as well as static (using libtool) * Change FUSE_MINOR_VERSION from 1 to 0. I know it's illegal but there has not been a release with the previous minor number, and I hope nobody is using it for anything. * Change fuse_main(), so that default behavior is to go into background if mount is successful. '-f' and '-d' options disable backgrounding. This fixes the "Why does my FUSE daemon hang?" newbie complaint. * Cache ENOSYS (function not implemented) errors on *xattr, flush and fsync * Don't call getdir method from open() only from first readdir(). Open is sometimes just used to store the current directory (e.g. find) 2004-05-18 Miklos Szeredi * Added flush() call 2004-05-04 Miklos Szeredi * Extended attributes support for 2.4 (patch by Cody Pisto) 2004-04-20 Miklos Szeredi * Fixed parser with modversions (Mattias Wadman) 2004-04-19 Miklos Szeredi * Added mount option parser to 2.4 build 2004-04-13 Miklos Szeredi * Replaced binary mount data with text options * Show FUSE specific mount options in /proc/mounts * Check in fuse.h whether _FILE_OFFSET_BITS is set to 64 2004-04-09 Miklos Szeredi * Check some limits so userspace won't get too big requests 2004-04-05 Miklos Szeredi * Kill compile warning * Upgraded user-mount patch for 2.6.5 2004-04-02 Miklos Szeredi * Add detection of user-mode-linux to configure 2004-03-31 Miklos Szeredi * fixed zero size case for getxattr and listxattr 2004-03-30 Miklos Szeredi * new fusermount flag '-z': lazy unmount, default is not lazy * Extended attributes operations added (getxattr, setxattr, listxattr, removexattr) 2004-03-25 Miklos Szeredi * If filesystem doesn't define a statfs operation, then an all-zero default statfs is returned instead of ENOSYS 2004-03-24 Miklos Szeredi * Add FS_BINARY_MOUNTDATA filesystem flag for kernels > 2.6.4 2004-03-09 Miklos Szeredi * Fix for uClinux (Christian Magnusson) 2004-03-02 Miklos Szeredi * fuse_main() adds "-n progname" to the fusermount command line * More kernel interface changes: * Lookup/getattr return cache timeout values 2004-02-25 Miklos Szeredi * Clean up option parsing in fuse_main() * Added fuse_get() function which returns the fuse object created by fuse_main() 2004-02-20 Miklos Szeredi * removed old way of mounting (fusermount mountpoint program) * more kernel interface changes: * added nanosecond precision to file times * removed interface version from mount data * added /proc/fs/fuse/version which contains MAJOR.MINOR 2004-02-19 Miklos Szeredi * statfs library API changed to match other methods. Since this is not backward compatible FUSE_MAJOR_VERSION is changed to 2 * kernel interface changes follow: * statfs changed to 64 bits, added 'bavail' field * add generation number to lookup result * optimized mknod/mkdir/symlink/link (no separate lookup is needed) * rdev size increased to 32 bits for mknod * kernel interface version changed to 3.1 2004-02-18 Miklos Szeredi * user-mount upgraded for 2.6.3 kernel 2004-02-17 Miklos Szeredi * Added user-mount.2.6.2-rc3.patch * Add FS_SAFE flag to fuse filesystem * fusermount should allow (un)mounting for non-root even if not suid-root 2004-02-12 Miklos Szeredi * Remove MS_PERMISSION mount flag (that means something else now) 2004-02-10 Miklos Szeredi * Added check for i_size_read/write functions to configure.in (patch by Valient Gough) 2004-02-06 Miklos Szeredi * Fixed writing >= 2G files * Check file size on open (with generic_file_open()) * Readpage calls flush_dcache_page() after storing data * Use i_size_read/write for accessing inode->i_size * Make loopback mount of a fuse file work 2004-02-04 Miklos Szeredi * Released 1.1 2004-01-29 Miklos Szeredi * Properly check if the inode exists in fuse_invalidate 2004-01-27 Miklos Szeredi * Added -q option for fusermount * fuse_unmount() now uses -q option of fusermount, so no error is printed if the cause of the program exit is that the filesystem has already been unmounted * Fix i_nlink correctness after rmdir/unlink 2004-01-26 Miklos Szeredi * Released 1.1-pre2 2004-01-26 Miklos Szeredi * Fix typo (thanks Marcos Dione) * Compile fixes for 2.4 kernels 2004-01-23 Miklos Szeredi * Fix CONFIG_MODVERSIONS compile on 2.6 2004-01-22 Miklos Szeredi * Write all pending data before a RELEASE operation * Suppress 'Bad file descriptor' warning on exit * Replaced fusermount option '-d xxx' with '-n xxx' so it doesn't get confused with '-d' of fuse_main() (sorry about this change) * New fusermount option '-l' which enables big reads. Big reads are now disabled by default. * fuse_main() can accept fusermount arguments after a '--' 2004-01-19 Miklos Szeredi * Support for exporting filesystem over NFS (see README.NFS) 2004-01-14 Miklos Szeredi * Support non-blocking writepage on 2.6. This makes FUSE behave much more nicely in low-memory situations * Fix 32-bit dev handling in getattr and mknod for 2.6 kernels. (Note: the mknod method does not yet use 32bit device number) 2004-01-13 Miklos Szeredi * Code cleanups 2004-01-07 Miklos Szeredi * Released 1.1-pre1 2004-01-06 Miklos Szeredi * Integrated 2.6 kernel support patch by Michael Grigoriev * Improvements and cleanups for 2.6 kernels 2004-01-05 Miklos Szeredi * Added -d option to fusermount 2003-12-15 Miklos Szeredi * Added major+minor version to library API, and minor version to kernel API 2003-12-13 David McNab * Implemented fsync support in examples/example.py * Implemented 'fsync' and 'statfs' methods in python interface 2003-12-12 Miklos Szeredi * Make it compile on 2.4.19. * Add fsync operation (write file failed on xemacs & vi) 2003-12-12 David McNab * Added distutils support to the python module, as per standard python development practice 2003-12-11 Miklos Szeredi * Add file locking for mount/unmount (based on patch by Valient Gough) 2003-12-11 David McNab * Python filesystem - was broken with python2.3, now fixed: - changed PyTuple_* calls to PySequence_*, because os.lstat is no longer returning a pure tuple - changed PyInt_Check() calls to also call PyLong_Check, to cover for cases (eg os.lstat) where longs are returned - Added support for file 'release' handling, which IMO is essential since this signals to a FS that writes to a file are complete (and therefore the file can now be disposed of meaningfully at the python filesystem's discretion) - Added '__init__' handler to base Fuse class, which allows your Python class to know the mountpoint and mount args, as attributes myfs.mountpoint, myfs.optlist, myfs.optdict * General: - added 'mount.fuse' script (in util/ dir), which is meant to be symlinked from /sbin, and which allows FUSE filesystems to be mounted with the 'mount' command, and listed in fstab; also, mount arguments get passed to your filesystem 2003-11-04 Miklos Szeredi * Fix kernel version detection (again).
