Convert the following where appropriate:
(1) S_ISLNK(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_symlink(dentry).
(2) S_ISREG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_reg(dentry).
(3) S_ISDIR(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_dir(dentry). This is actually more
complicated than it appears as some calls should be converted to
d_can_lookup() instead. The difference is whether the directory in
question is a real dir with a ->lookup op or whether it's a fake dir with
a ->d_automount op.
In some circumstances, we can subsume checks for dentry->d_inode not being
NULL into this, provided we the code isn't in a filesystem that expects
d_inode to be NULL if the dirent really *is* negative (ie. if we're going to
use d_inode() rather than d_backing_inode() to get the inode pointer).
Note that the dentry type field may be set to something other than
DCACHE_MISS_TYPE when d_inode is NULL in the case of unionmount, where the VFS
manages the fall-through from a negative dentry to a lower layer. In such a
case, the dentry type of the negative union dentry is set to the same as the
type of the lower dentry.
However, if you know d_inode is not NULL at the call site, then you can use
the d_is_xxx() functions even in a filesystem.
There is one further complication: a 0,0 chardev dentry may be labelled
DCACHE_WHITEOUT_TYPE rather than DCACHE_SPECIAL_TYPE. Strictly, this was
intended for special directory entry types that don't have attached inodes.

Analysis from Marc:
"Commit 7078187a79 ("fuse: introduce fuse_simple_request() helper")
from the above pull request triggers some EIO errors for me in some tests
that rely on fuse
Looking at the code changes and a bit of debugging info I think there's a
general problem here that fuse_get_req checks and possibly waits for
fc->initialized, and this was always called first. But this commit
changes the ordering and in many places fc->minor is now possibly used
before fuse_get_req, and we can't be sure that fc has been initialized.
In my case fuse_lookup_init sets req->out.args[0].size to the wrong size
because fc->minor at that point is still 0, leading to the EIO error."
Fix by moving the compat adjustments into fuse_simple_request() to after
fuse_get_req().
This is also more readable than the original, since now compatibility is
handled in a single function instead of cluttering each operation.

The following test case demonstrates the bug:
sh# mount -t glusterfs localhost:meta-test /mnt/one
sh# mount -t glusterfs localhost:meta-test /mnt/two
sh# echo stuff > /mnt/one/file; rm -f /mnt/two/file; echo stuff > /mnt/one/file
bash: /mnt/one/file: Stale file handle
sh# echo stuff > /mnt/one/file; rm -f /mnt/two/file; sleep 1; echo stuff > /mnt/one/file
On the second open() on /mnt/one, FUSE would have used the old
nodeid (file handle) trying to re-open it. Gluster is returning
-ESTALE. The ESTALE propagates back to namei.c:filename_lookup()
where lookup is re-attempted with LOOKUP_REVAL. The right
behavior now, would be for FUSE to ignore the entry-timeout and
and do the up-call revalidation. Instead FUSE is ignoring
LOOKUP_REVAL, succeeding the revalidation (because entry-timeout
has not passed), and open() is again retried on the old file
handle and finally the ESTALE is going back to the application.
Fix: if revalidation is happening with LOOKUP_REVAL, then ignore
entry-timeout and always do the up-call.

The patch addresses two use-cases when the flag may be safely cleared:
1. fuse_do_setattr() is called with ATTR_CTIME flag set in attr->ia_valid.
In this case attr->ia_ctime bears actual value. In-kernel fuse must send it
to the userspace server and then assign the value to inode->i_ctime.
2. fuse_do_setattr() is called with ATTR_SIZE flag set in attr->ia_valid,
whereas ATTR_CTIME is not set (truncate(2)).
In this case in-kernel fuse must sent "now" to the userspace server and then
assign the value to inode->i_ctime.

Make fuse think that when writeback is on the inode's i_size is always
up-to-date and not update it with the value received from the userspace.
This is done because the page cache code may update i_size without letting
the FS know.
This assumption implies fixing the previously introduced short-read helper --
when a short read occurs the 'hole' is filled with zeroes.
fuse_file_fallocate() is also fixed because now we should keep i_size up to

Doing dput(parent) is not valid in RCU walk mode. In RCU mode it would
probably be okay to update the parent flags, but it's actually not
necessary most of the time...
So only set the FUSE_I_ADVISE_RDPLUS flag on the parent when the entry was
recently initialized by READDIRPLUS.
This is achieved by setting FUSE_I_INIT_RDPLUS on entries added by
READDIRPLUS and only dropping out of RCU mode if this flag is set.
FUSE_I_INIT_RDPLUS is cleared once the FUSE_I_ADVISE_RDPLUS flag is set in
the parent.

Use d_materialise_unique() instead of d_splice_alias(). This allows dentry
subtrees to be moved to a new place if there moved, even if something is
referencing a dentry in the subtree (open fd, cwd, etc..).
This will also allow us to drop a subtree if it is found to be replaced by
something else. In this case the disconnected subtree can later be
reconnected to its new location.
d_materialise_unique() ensures that a directory entry only ever has one
alias. We keep fc->inst_mutex around the calls for d_materialise_unique()
on directories to prevent a race with mkdir "stealing" the inode.

The way how fuse calls truncate_pagecache() from fuse_change_attributes()
is completely wrong. Because, w/o i_mutex held, we never sure whether
'oldsize' and 'attr->size' are valid by the time of execution of
truncate_pagecache(inode, oldsize, attr->size). In fact, as soon as we
released fc->lock in the middle of fuse_change_attributes(), we completely
loose control of actions which may happen with given inode until we reach
truncate_pagecache. The list of potentially dangerous actions includes
mmap-ed reads and writes, ftruncate(2) and write(2) extending file size.
The typical outcome of doing truncate_pagecache() with outdated arguments
is data corruption from user point of view. This is (in some sense)
acceptable in cases when the issue is triggered by a change of the file on
the server (i.e. externally wrt fuse operation), but it is absolutely
intolerable in scenarios when a single fuse client modifies a file without
any external intervention. A real life case I discovered by fsx-linux
looked like this:
1. Shrinking ftruncate(2) comes to fuse_do_setattr(). The latter sends
FUSE_SETATTR to the server synchronously, but before getting fc->lock ...
2. fuse_dentry_revalidate() is asynchronously called. It sends FUSE_LOOKUP
to the server synchronously, then calls fuse_change_attributes(). The
latter updates i_size, releases fc->lock, but before comparing oldsize vs
attr->size..
3. fuse_do_setattr() from the first step proceeds by acquiring fc->lock and
updating attributes and i_size, but now oldsize is equal to
outarg.attr.size because i_size has just been updated (step 2). Hence,
fuse_do_setattr() returns w/o calling truncate_pagecache().
4. As soon as ftruncate(2) completes, the user extends file size by
write(2) making a hole in the middle of file, then reads data from the hole
either by read(2) or mmap-ed read. The user expects to get zero data from
the hole, but gets stale data because truncate_pagecache() is not executed
yet.
The scenario above illustrates one side of the problem: not truncating the
page cache even though we should. Another side corresponds to truncating
page cache too late, when the state of inode changed significantly.
Theoretically, the following is possible:
1. As in the previous scenario fuse_dentry_revalidate() discovered that
i_size changed (due to our own fuse_do_setattr()) and is going to call
truncate_pagecache() for some 'new_size' it believes valid right now. But
by the time that particular truncate_pagecache() is called ...
2. fuse_do_setattr() returns (either having called truncate_pagecache() or
not -- it doesn't matter).
3. The file is extended either by write(2) or ftruncate(2) or fallocate(2).
4. mmap-ed write makes a page in the extended region dirty.
The result will be the lost of data user wrote on the fourth step.
The patch is a hotfix resolving the issue in a simplistic way: let's skip
dangerous i_size update and truncate_pagecache if an operation changing
file size is in progress. This simplistic approach looks correct for the
cases w/o external changes. And to handle them properly, more sophisticated
and intrusive techniques (e.g. NFS-like one) would be required. I'd like to
postpone it until the issue is well discussed on the mailing list(s).
Changed in v2:

This patch implements readdirplus support in FUSE, similar to NFS.
The payload returned in the readdirplus call contains
'fuse_entry_out' structure thereby providing all the necessary inputs
for 'faking' a lookup() operation on the spot.
If the dentry and inode already existed (for e.g. in a re-run of ls -l)
then just the inode attributes timeout and dentry timeout are refreshed.
With a simple client->network->server implementation of a FUSE based
filesystem, the following performance observations were made:
Test: Performing a filesystem crawl over 20,000 files with
sh# time ls -lR /mnt
Without readdirplus:
Run 1: 18.1s
Run 2: 16.0s
Run 3: 16.2s
With readdirplus:
Run 1: 4.1s
Run 2: 3.8s
Run 3: 3.8s
The performance improvement is significant as it avoided 20,000 upcalls
calls (lookup). Cache consistency is no worse than what already is.
