[RFC PATCH v3 0/8] fuse: LOOKUP_HANDLE operation

[Luis Henriques]

Hi,

I'm sending a new version of my work on lookup_handle, even though it's
still incomplete.  As suggested elsewhere, it is now based on compound
commands and thus it sits on top of Horst's patchset [0].  Also, because
this version is a complete re-write of the approach presented in my previous
RFC [1] I'm not going to detail what changed.

Here's a few notes:

- The code isn't yet fully testable as there are several pieces missing.
  For example, the FUSE_TMPFILE and FUSE_READDIRPLUS operations are not yet
  implemented.  The NFS-related changes have also been dropped in this
  revision.

- There are several details still to be sorted out in the compound
  operations.  For example, the nodeid for the statx operation in the
  lookup+statx is set to FUSE_ROOT_ID.

- The second operation (mkobj_handle+statx+open) is still draft (or maybe
  just wrong!).  It's not handling flags correctly, and the error handling
  has to be better thought out.

- Some of the patches in this set could probably be picked independently
  (e.g. patch 4 or even patch 1)

So, why am I sending this broken and incomplete patchset?  Well, simply
because I'd feel more confidence getting this approach validated.  I don't
expect any through review, but I would appreciate feedback on anything that
would help me correct major flaws.
