◆ fuse_add_direntry()

size_t fuse_add_direntry ( fuse_req_t  req,
char *  buf,
size_t  bufsize,
const char *  name,
const struct stat *  stbuf,
off_t  off 
)

Add a directory entry to the buffer

Buffer needs to be large enough to hold the entry. If it's not, then the entry is not filled in but the size of the entry is still returned. The caller can check this by comparing the bufsize parameter with the returned entry size. If the entry size is larger than the buffer size, the operation failed.

From the 'stbuf' argument the st_ino field and bits 12-15 of the st_mode field are used. The other fields are ignored.

off should be any non-zero value that the filesystem can use to identify the current point in the directory stream. It does not need to be the actual physical position. A value of zero is reserved to mean "from the beginning", and should therefore never be used (the first call to fuse_add_direntry should be passed the offset of the second directory entry).

Parameters
reqrequest handle
bufthe point where the new entry will be added to the buffer
bufsizeremaining size of the buffer
namethe name of the entry
stbufthe file attributes
offthe offset of the next entry
Returns
the space needed for the entry

◆ fuse_lowlevel_notify_delete()

int fuse_lowlevel_notify_delete ( struct fuse_session *  se,
fuse_ino_t  parent,
fuse_ino_t  child,
const char *  name,
size_t  namelen 
)

This function behaves like fuse_lowlevel_notify_inval_entry() with the following additional effect (at least as of Linux kernel 4.8):

If the provided child inode matches the inode that is currently associated with the cached dentry, and if there are any inotify watches registered for the dentry, then the watchers are informed that the dentry has been deleted.

To avoid a deadlock this function must not be called while executing a related filesystem operation or while holding a lock that could be needed to execute such an operation (see the description of fuse_lowlevel_notify_inval_entry() for more details).

When called correctly, this function will never block.

Added in FUSE protocol version 7.18. If the kernel does not support this (or a newer) version, the function will return -ENOSYS and do nothing.

Parameters
sethe session object
parentinode number
childinode number
namefile name
namelenstrlen() of file name
Returns
zero for success, -errno for failure

◆ fuse_lowlevel_notify_expire_entry()

int fuse_lowlevel_notify_expire_entry ( struct fuse_session *  se,
fuse_ino_t  parent,
const char *  name,
size_t  namelen,
enum fuse_expire_flags  flags 
)

Notify to expire or invalidate parent attributes and the dentry matching parent/name

Underlying function for fuse_lowlevel_notify_inval_entry().

In addition to invalidating an entry, it also allows to expire an entry. In that case, the entry is not forcefully removed from kernel cache but instead the next access to it forces a lookup from the filesystem.

This makes a difference for overmounted dentries, where plain invalidation would detach all submounts before dropping the dentry from the cache. If only expiry is set on the dentry, then any overmounts are left alone and until ->d_revalidate() is called.

Note: ->d_revalidate() is not called for the case of following a submount, so invalidation will only be triggered for the non-overmounted case. The dentry could also be mounted in a different mount instance, in which case any submounts will still be detached.

Parameters
sethe session object
parentinode number
namefile name
namelenstrlen() of file name
flagsflags to control if the entry should be expired or invalidated
Returns
zero for success, -errno for failure

◆ fuse_lowlevel_notify_inval_entry()

int fuse_lowlevel_notify_inval_entry ( struct fuse_session *  se,
fuse_ino_t  parent,
const char *  name,
size_t  namelen 
)

Notify to invalidate parent attributes and the dentry matching parent/name

To avoid a deadlock this function must not be called in the execution path of a related filesystem operation or within any code that could hold a lock that could be needed to execute such an operation. As of kernel 4.18, a "related operation" is a lookup(), symlink(), mknod(), mkdir(), unlink(), rename(), link() or create() request for the parent, and a setattr(), unlink(), rmdir(), rename(), setxattr(), removexattr(), readdir() or readdirplus() request for the inode itself.

When called correctly, this function will never block.

Added in FUSE protocol version 7.12. If the kernel does not support this (or a newer) version, the function will return -ENOSYS and do nothing.

Parameters
sethe session object
parentinode number
namefile name
namelenstrlen() of file name
Returns
zero for success, -errno for failure

◆ fuse_lowlevel_notify_inval_inode()

int fuse_lowlevel_notify_inval_inode ( struct fuse_session *  se,
fuse_ino_t  ino,
off_t  off,
off_t  len 
)

Notify to invalidate cache for an inode.

Added in FUSE protocol version 7.12. If the kernel does not support this (or a newer) version, the function will return -ENOSYS and do nothing.

If the filesystem has writeback caching enabled, invalidating an inode will first trigger a writeback of all dirty pages. The call will block until all writeback requests have completed and the inode has been invalidated. It will, however, not wait for completion of pending writeback requests that have been issued before.

If there are no dirty pages, this function will never block.

Parameters
sethe session object
inothe inode number
offthe offset in the inode where to start invalidating or negative to invalidate attributes only
lenthe amount of cache to invalidate or 0 for all
Returns
zero for success, -errno for failure

Definition at line 2272 of file fuse_lowlevel.c.

◆ fuse_lowlevel_notify_poll()

int fuse_lowlevel_notify_poll ( struct fuse_pollhandle *  ph)

Notify IO readiness event

For more information, please read comment for poll operation.

Parameters
phpoll handle to notify IO readiness event for

Definition at line 2255 of file fuse_lowlevel.c.

◆ fuse_lowlevel_notify_retrieve()

int fuse_lowlevel_notify_retrieve ( struct fuse_session *  se,
fuse_ino_t  ino,
size_t  size,
off_t  offset,
void *  cookie 
)

Retrieve data from the kernel buffers

Retrieve data in the kernel buffers belonging to the given inode. If successful then the retrieve_reply() method will be called with the returned data.

Only present pages are returned in the retrieve reply. Retrieving stops when it finds a non-present page and only data prior to that is returned.

If this function returns an error, then the retrieve will not be completed and no reply will be sent.

This function doesn't change the dirty state of pages in the kernel buffer. For dirty pages the write() method will be called regardless of having been retrieved previously.

Added in FUSE protocol version 7.15. If the kernel does not support this (or a newer) version, the function will return -ENOSYS and do nothing.

Parameters
sethe session object
inothe inode number
sizethe number of bytes to retrieve
offsetthe starting offset into the file to retrieve from
cookieuser data to supply to the reply callback
Returns
zero for success, -errno for failure

Definition at line 2434 of file fuse_lowlevel.c.

◆ fuse_lowlevel_notify_store()

int fuse_lowlevel_notify_store ( struct fuse_session *  se,
fuse_ino_t  ino,
off_t  offset,
struct fuse_bufvec bufv,
enum fuse_buf_copy_flags  flags 
)

Store data to the kernel buffers

Synchronously store data in the kernel buffers belonging to the given inode. The stored data is marked up-to-date (no read will be performed against it, unless it's invalidated or evicted from the cache).

If the stored data overflows the current file size, then the size is extended, similarly to a write(2) on the filesystem.

If this function returns an error, then the store wasn't fully completed, but it may have been partially completed.

Added in FUSE protocol version 7.15. If the kernel does not support this (or a newer) version, the function will return -ENOSYS and do nothing.

Parameters
sethe session object
inothe inode number
offsetthe starting offset into the file to store to
bufvbuffer vector
flagsflags controlling the copy
Returns
zero for success, -errno for failure

Definition at line 2354 of file fuse_lowlevel.c.

◆ fuse_lowlevel_version()

void fuse_lowlevel_version ( void  )

Print low-level version information to stdout.

Definition at line 2746 of file fuse_lowlevel.c.

◆ fuse_parse_cmdline_30()

int fuse_parse_cmdline_30 ( struct fuse_args args,
struct fuse_cmdline_opts opts 
)

Utility function to parse common options for simple file systems using the low-level API. A help text that describes the available options can be printed with fuse_cmdline_help. A single non-option argument is treated as the mountpoint. Multiple non-option arguments will result in an error.

If neither -o subtype= or -o fsname= options are given, a new subtype option will be added and set to the basename of the program (the fsname will remain unset, and then defaults to "fuse").

Known options will be removed from args, unknown options will remain.

Parameters
argsargument vector (input+output)
optsoutput argument for parsed options
Returns
0 on success, -1 on failure

◆ fuse_reply_data()

int fuse_reply_data ( fuse_req_t  req,
struct fuse_bufvec bufv,
enum fuse_buf_copy_flags  flags 
)

Reply with data copied/moved from buffer(s)

Zero copy data transfer ("splicing") will be used under the following circumstances:

  1. FUSE_CAP_SPLICE_WRITE is set in fuse_conn_info.want, and
  2. the kernel supports splicing from the fuse device (FUSE_CAP_SPLICE_WRITE is set in fuse_conn_info.capable), and
  3. flags does not contain FUSE_BUF_NO_SPLICE
  4. The amount of data that is provided in file-descriptor backed buffers (i.e., buffers for which bufv[n].flags == FUSE_BUF_FD) is at least twice the page size.

In order for SPLICE_F_MOVE to be used, the following additional conditions have to be fulfilled:

  1. FUSE_CAP_SPLICE_MOVE is set in fuse_conn_info.want, and
  2. the kernel supports it (i.e, FUSE_CAP_SPLICE_MOVE is set in fuse_conn_info.capable), and
  3. flags contains FUSE_BUF_SPLICE_MOVE

Note that, if splice is used, the data is actually spliced twice: once into a temporary pipe (to prepend header data), and then again into the kernel. If some of the provided buffers are memory-backed, the data in them is copied in step one and spliced in step two.

The FUSE_BUF_SPLICE_FORCE_SPLICE and FUSE_BUF_SPLICE_NONBLOCK flags are silently ignored.

Possible requests: read, readdir, getxattr, listxattr

Side effects: when used to return data from a readdirplus() (but not readdir()) call, increments the lookup count of each returned entry by one on success.

The pointer returned by this function will only be valid for the request's lifetime

Parameters
reqrequest handle
Returns
the context structure

Definition at line 2484 of file fuse_lowlevel.c.

◆ fuse_req_getgroups()

int fuse_req_getgroups ( fuse_req_t  req,
int  size,
gid_t  list[] 
)

Get the current supplementary group IDs for the specified request

Similar to the getgroups(2) system call, except the return value is always the total number of group IDs, even if it is larger than the specified size.

The current fuse kernel module in linux (as of 2.6.30) doesn't pass the group list to userspace, hence this function needs to parse "/proc/$TID/task/$TID/status" to get the group IDs.

This feature may not be supported on all operating systems. In such a case this function will return -ENOSYS.

Parameters
reqrequest handle
sizesize of given array
listarray of group IDs to be filled in
Returns
the total number of supplementary group IDs or -errno on failure

◆ fuse_req_interrupt_func()

void fuse_req_interrupt_func ( fuse_req_t  req,
fuse_interrupt_func_t  func,
void *  data 
)

Register/unregister callback for an interrupt

If an interrupt has already happened, then the callback function is called from within this function, hence it's not possible for interrupts to be lost.

Parameters
reqrequest handle
functhe callback function or NULL for unregister
datauser data passed to the callback function

Definition at line 2489 of file fuse_lowlevel.c.

◆ fuse_req_interrupted()

int fuse_req_interrupted ( fuse_req_t  req)

Check if a request has already been interrupted

Parameters
reqrequest handle
Returns
1 if the request has been interrupted, 0 otherwise

Definition at line 2502 of file fuse_lowlevel.c.

◆ fuse_req_userdata()

void* fuse_req_userdata ( fuse_req_t  req)

Get the userdata from the request

Parameters
reqrequest handle
Returns
the user data passed to fuse_session_new()

Definition at line 2479 of file fuse_lowlevel.c.

◆ fuse_session_custom_io()

int fuse_session_custom_io ( struct fuse_session *  se,
const struct fuse_custom_io *  io,
int  fd 
)

Set a file descriptor for the session.

This function can be used if you want to have a custom communication interface instead of using a mountpoint. In practice, this means that instead of calling fuse_session_mount() and fuse_session_unmount(), one could call fuse_session_custom_io() where fuse_session_mount() would have otherwise been called.

In io, implementations for read and writev MUST be provided. Otherwise -1 will be returned and fd will not be used. Implementations for splice_send and splice_receive are optional. If they are not provided splice will not be used for send or receive respectively.

The provided file descriptor fd will be closed when fuse_session_destroy() is called.

Parameters
sesession object
ioCustom io to use when retrieving/sending requests/responses
fdfile descriptor for the session
Returns
0 on success
-EINVAL if io, io->read or ìo->writev are NULL
-EBADF if fd was smaller than 0
-errno if failed to allocate memory to store io

◆ fuse_session_destroy()

void fuse_session_destroy ( struct fuse_session *  se)

Destroy a session

Parameters
sethe session

Definition at line 2763 of file fuse_lowlevel.c.

◆ fuse_session_exit()

void fuse_session_exit ( struct fuse_session *  se)

Flag a session as terminated.

This function is invoked by the POSIX signal handlers, when registered using fuse_set_signal_handlers(). It will cause any running event loops to terminate on the next opportunity.

Parameters
sethe session

◆ fuse_session_exited()

int fuse_session_exited ( struct fuse_session *  se)

Query the terminated flag of a session

Parameters
sethe session
Returns
1 if exited, 0 if not exited

◆ fuse_session_fd()

int fuse_session_fd ( struct fuse_session *  se)

Return file descriptor for communication with kernel.

The file selector can be used to integrate FUSE with a custom event loop. Whenever data is available for reading on the provided fd, the event loop should call fuse_session_receive_buf followed by fuse_session_process_buf to process the request.

The returned file descriptor is valid until fuse_session_unmount is called.

Parameters
sethe session
Returns
a file descriptor

Definition at line 3144 of file fuse_lowlevel.c.

◆ fuse_session_loop()

int fuse_session_loop ( struct fuse_session *  se)

Enter a single threaded, blocking event loop.

When the event loop terminates because the connection to the FUSE kernel module has been closed, this function returns zero. This happens when the filesystem is unmounted regularly (by the filesystem owner or root running the umount(8) or fusermount(1) command), or if connection is explicitly severed by writing 1 to theabort file in /sys/fs/fuse/connections/NNN. The only way to distinguish between these two conditions is to check if the filesystem is still mounted after the session loop returns.

When some error occurs during request processing, the function returns a negated errno(3) value.

If the loop has been terminated because of a signal handler installed by fuse_set_signal_handlers(), this function returns the (positive) signal value that triggered the exit.

Parameters
sethe session
Returns
0, -errno, or a signal value

Definition at line 19 of file fuse_loop.c.

◆ fuse_session_mount()

int fuse_session_mount ( struct fuse_session *  se,
const char *  mountpoint 
)

Mount a FUSE file system.

Parameters
mountpointthe mount point path
sesession object
Returns
0 on success, -1 on failure.

Definition at line 3094 of file fuse_lowlevel.c.

◆ fuse_session_new()

struct fuse_session* fuse_session_new ( struct fuse_args args,
const struct fuse_lowlevel_ops op,
size_t  op_size,
void *  userdata 
)

Create a low level session.

Returns a session structure suitable for passing to fuse_session_mount() and fuse_session_loop().

This function accepts most file-system independent mount options (like context, nodev, ro - see mount(8)), as well as the general fuse mount options listed in mount.fuse(8) (e.g. -o allow_root and -o default_permissions, but not -o use_ino). Instead of -o debug, debugging may also enabled with -d or --debug.

If not all options are known, an error message is written to stderr and the function returns NULL.

Option parsing skips argv[0], which is assumed to contain the program name. To prevent accidentally passing an option in argv[0], this element must always be present (even if no options are specified). It may be set to the empty string ('\0') if no reasonable value can be provided.

Parameters
argsargument vector
opthe (low-level) filesystem operations
op_sizesizeof(struct fuse_lowlevel_ops)
userdatauser data
Returns
the fuse session on success, NULL on failure

Definition at line 2964 of file fuse_lowlevel.c.

◆ fuse_session_process_buf()

void fuse_session_process_buf ( struct fuse_session *  se,
const struct fuse_buf buf 
)

Process a raw request supplied in a generic buffer

The fuse_buf may contain a memory buffer or a pipe file descriptor.

Parameters
sethe session
bufthe fuse_buf containing the request

Definition at line 2590 of file fuse_lowlevel.c.

◆ fuse_session_receive_buf()

int fuse_session_receive_buf ( struct fuse_session *  se,
struct fuse_buf buf 
)

Read a raw request from the kernel into the supplied buffer.

Depending on file system options, system capabilities, and request size the request is either read into a memory buffer or spliced into a temporary pipe.

Parameters
sethe session
bufthe fuse_buf to store the request in
Returns
the actual size of the raw request, or -errno on error

Definition at line 2792 of file fuse_lowlevel.c.

◆ fuse_session_reset()

void fuse_session_reset ( struct fuse_session *  se)

Reset the terminated flag of a session

Parameters
sethe session

◆ fuse_session_unmount()

void fuse_session_unmount ( struct fuse_session *  se)

Ensure that file system is unmounted.

In regular operation, the file system is typically unmounted by the user calling umount(8) or fusermount(1), which then terminates the FUSE session loop. However, the session loop may also terminate as a result of an explicit call to fuse_session_exit() (e.g. by a signal handler installed by fuse_set_signal_handler()). In this case the filesystem remains mounted, but any attempt to access it will block (while the filesystem process is still running) or give an ESHUTDOWN error (after the filesystem process has terminated).

If the communication channel with the FUSE kernel module is still open (i.e., if the session loop was terminated by an explicit call to fuse_session_exit()), this function will close it and unmount the filesystem. If the communication channel has been closed by the kernel, this method will do (almost) nothing.

NOTE: The above semantics mean that if the connection to the kernel is terminated via the /sys/fs/fuse/connections/NNN/abort file, this method will not unmount the filesystem.

Parameters
sethe session
