[PATCH 0/2] virtiofsd: Support FUSE_SYNCFS on unannounced submounts

[Greg Kurz]

This is the current patches I have : one to track submounts
and the other to call syncfs() on them. Tested on simple
cases only.

I won't be able to work on this anymore, so I'm posting for the
records. Anyone is welcome to pick it up as there won't be a v2
from my side.

Cheers,

[PATCH 1/2] virtiofsd: Track submounts

[Greg Kurz]

If the server doesn't announce submounts to the client, it needs to
track them internally to properly support FUSE_SYNCFS. lo_do_lookup()
already knows how to detect them : it is a directory with a different
device ID or mount ID than its parent. Use the same logic and put
submount inodes into a dedicated hash : this will allow to iterate
on them in lo_syncfs().

[PATCH 2/2] virtiofsd: Support FUSE_SYNCFS on unannounced submounts

[Greg Kurz]

This adds the missing bits to support FUSE_SYNCFS in the case submounts
aren't announced to the client.

Iterate over all submounts and call syncfs() on them. Since syncfs() can
block for an indefinite time, we cannot call it with lo->mutex held as
it would prevent the server to process other requests. Generate a list
of submounts with lo->mutex held and bump their reference count to
ensure they don't vanish when lo->mutex is dropped.

Each individual call to syncfs() can legitimately fail. Try to flush
as much as possible anyway. A single error will be returned to the
client so that it knows that the flush didn't fully succeed.

Compared to the previous try, this basically tracks submount inodes
in a dedicated hash to avoid browsing through all inodes at sync
time.

Given the limited time I had to spend on this, it certainly
requires some more thinking and testing around corner cases.
Since C virtiofsd is being deprecated, I don't think it's
worth investing much in supporting all possible scenarios.
Maybe add sanity checks and proper error handling for things
that would obviously break.

Cheers,

Given the limited time I had to spend on this, it certainly
requires some more thinking and testing around corner cases.
Since C virtiofsd is being deprecated, I don't think it's
worth investing much in supporting all possible scenarios.
Maybe add sanity checks and proper error handling for things
that would obviously break.
