License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a license

2017-11-02T10:20:11+00:00

Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be.  This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.

Update these files with an SPDX license identifier.  The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.

GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:

   NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
   services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
   of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.

Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier.  The format
is:
        ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)

SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text.  The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.  See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

fuse: Add posix ACL support

2016-10-01T05:32:32+00:00

Add a new INIT flag, FUSE_POSIX_ACL, for negotiating ACL support with
userspace.  When it is set in the INIT response, ACL support will be
enabled.  ACL support also implies "default_permissions".

When ACL support is enabled, the kernel will cache and have responsibility
for enforcing ACLs.  ACL xattrs will be passed to userspace, which is
responsible for updating the ACLs in the filesystem, keeping the file mode
in sync, and inheritance of default ACLs when new filesystem nodes are
created.

fuse: handle killpriv in userspace fs

2016-10-01T05:32:32+00:00

Only userspace filesystem can do the killing of suid/sgid without races.
So introduce an INIT flag and negotiate support for this.

fuse: serialize dirops by default

2016-06-30T11:10:49+00:00

Negotiate with userspace filesystems whether they support parallel readdir
and lookup.  Disable parallelism by default for fear of breaking fuse
filesystems.

fuse: device fd clone

2015-07-01T14:26:08+00:00

Allow an open fuse device to be "cloned".  Userspace can create a clone by:

      newfd = open("/dev/fuse", O_RDWR)
      ioctl(newfd, FUSE_DEV_IOC_CLONE, &oldfd);

At this point newfd will refer to the same fuse connection as oldfd.

fuse: add FUSE_NO_OPEN_SUPPORT flag to INIT

2014-07-22T14:37:43+00:00

Here some additional changes to set a capability flag so that clients can
detect when it's appropriate to return -ENOSYS from open.

This amends the following commit introduced in 3.14:

  7678ac50615d  fuse: support clients that don't implement 'open'

However we can only add the flag to 3.15 and later since there was no
protocol version update in 3.14.

fuse: fuse: add time_gran to INIT_OUT

2014-04-28T12:19:23+00:00

Allow userspace fs to specify time granularity.

This is needed because with writeback_cache mode the kernel is responsible
for generating mtime and ctime, but if the underlying filesystem doesn't
support nanosecond granularity then the cache will contain a different
value from the one stored on the filesystem resulting in a change of times
after a cache flush.

Make the default granularity 1s.
