[patch 3/3] fuse: support writable mmap

[Miklos Szeredi]

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx>

Quoting Linus (3 years ago, FUSE inclusion discussions):

  "User-space filesystems are hard to get right. I'd claim that they
   are almost impossible, unless you limit them somehow (shared
   writable mappings are the nastiest part - if you don't have those,
   you can reasonably limit your problems by limiting the number of
   dirty pages you accept through normal "write()" calls)."

Instead of attempting the impossible, I've just waited for the dirty
page accounting infrastructure to materialize (thanks to Peter
Zijlstra and others).  This nicely solved the biggest problem:
limiting the number of pages used for write caching.

Some small details remained, however, which this largish patch
attempts to address.  It provides a page writeback implementation for
fuse, which is completely safe against VM related deadlocks.
Performance may not be very good for certain usage patterns, but
generally it should be acceptable.

It has been tested extensively with fsx-linux and bash-shared-mapping.

This patch depends on
mm-bdi-allow-setting-a-maximum-for-the-bdi-dirty-limit-fix.patch


Fuse page writeback design
--------------------------

fuse_writepage() allocates a new temporary page with
GFP_NOFS|__GFP_HIGHMEM.  It copies the contents of the original page,
and queues a WRITE request to the userspace filesystem using this temp
page.

The writeback is finished instantly from the MM's point of view: the
page is removed from the radix trees, and the PageDirty and
PageWriteback flags are cleared.

For the duration of the actual write, the NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP counter is
incremented.  The per-bdi writeback count is not decremented until the
actual write completes.

On dirtying the page, fuse waits for a previous write to finish before
proceeding.  This makes sure, there can only be one temporary page used
at a time for one cached page.

This approach is wasteful in both memory and CPU bandwidth, so why is
this complication needed?

The basic problem is that there can be no guarantee about the time in
which the userspace filesystem will complete a write.  It may be buggy
or even malicious, and fail to complete WRITE requests.  We don't want
unrelated parts of the system to grind to a halt in such cases.

Also a filesystem may need additional resources (particularly memory)
to complete a WRITE request.  There's a great danger of a deadlock if
that allocation may wait for the writepage to finish.

Currently there are several cases where the kernel can block on page
writeback:

  - allocation order is larger than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER
  - page migration
  - throttle_vm_writeout (through NR_WRITEBACK)
  - sync(2)

Of course in some cases (fsync, msync) we explicitly want to allow
blocking.  So for these cases new code has to be added to fuse, since
the VM is not tracking writeback pages for us any more.

As an extra safetly measure, the maximum dirty ratio allocated to a
single fuse filesystem is set to 1% by default.  This way one (or
several) buggy or malicious fuse filesystems cannot slow down the rest
of the system by hogging dirty memory.

With appropriate privileges, this limit can be raised through
'/sys/class/bdi/<bdi>/max_ratio'.
