[PATCH] fuse: Fix the return code of fuse_direct_IO() to deal with the error for aio

From: Masayoshi Mizuma <m.mizuma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

exit_aio() is sometimes stuck in wait_for_completion() after aio is issued
with direct IO and the task receives a signal.

That is because kioctx in mm->ioctx_table is in use by aio_kiocb.
aio_kiocb->ki_refcnt is 1 at that time. That means iocb_put() isn't
called correctly.

fuse_get_req() returns as -EINTR when it's blocked and receives a signal.
fuse_direct_IO() deals with the -EINTER as -EIOCBQUEUED and returns as
-EIOCBQUEUED even though the aio isn't queued.
As the result, aio_rw_done() doesn't handle the error, so iocb_put() isn't
called via aio_complete_rw(), which is the callback.

The flow is something like as:

io_submit
aio_get_req
refcount_set(&req->ki_refcnt, 2)
__io_submit_one
aio_read
...
fuse_direct_IO # return as -EIOCBQUEUED
__fuse_direct_read
...
fuse_get_req # return as -EINTR
aio_rw_done
# Nothing to do because ret is -EIOCBQUEUED...
iocb_put
refcount_dec_and_test(&iocb->ki_refcnt) # 2->1

Return as the error code of fuse_direct_io() or __fuse_direct_read() in
fuse_direct_IO() so that aio_rw_done() can handle the error and call
iocb_put().

This issue is trucked as a virtio-fs issue:
