[PATCH V11 2/9] famfs_fuse: Basic fuse kernel ABI enablement for famfs
From: John Groves
Date: Sun Jul 19 2026 - 23:47:09 EST
From: John Groves <john@xxxxxxxxxx>
Add the minimal fuse plumbing that later famfs commits build on:
- Kconfig: add FUSE_FAMFS_DAX to control compilation of famfs support
within fuse.
- uapi: add the FUSE_DAX_FMAP flag for the INIT request/reply, by which
the server and kernel negotiate famfs (in-kernel fs-dax map) support.
- fuse_conn->famfs_iomap to mark a famfs-enabled connection.
