This constant is not defined in the kernel, so it will be lost when
fuse_kernel.h is not synchronized. Instead, the kernel just passes a
flag value of "1", so for now we also use a literal in userspace.
Add support for the relatively new copy_file_range() syscall. Backend
filesystems can now implement an efficient way of cloning/duplicating
data ranges within files. See 'man 2 copy_file_range' for more details.
This switches the -o no_readdirplus option to a tristate
string: -o readdirplus=(yes|no|auto)
Telling the kernel to always use readdirplus is beneficial to
filesystems (e.g. GlusterFS) where the cost to perform readdir
and readdirplus are identical.
The default remains "auto" (if supported).
This patch implements readdirplus support in FUSE usersapce. It adds
a new fuse lowlevel operations fuse_lowleve_ops::readdir_plus,
corespoding mount options and helper functions to maintain buffer.

This makes our terminology consistent with NFS and
our kernel module, as well as reducing user/developer
confusion in the command-line.
Note: I'm keeping "fuse_add_direntry_plus" since that is
less standardized in its use than "readdirplus" for now.

Several caching logic changes have been made on the kernel side
to better support network-based fuse filesystems. These include
kernel side mtime checking and read path cache revalidation. The
new caching logic is enabled through the FUSE_AUTO_INVAL_DATA
init flag. Export this to the user via the '[no_]auto_inval_data'
mount option.

fallocate filesystem operation preallocates media space for the given file.
If fallocate returns success then any subsequent write to the given range
never fails with 'not enough space' error.
This partially reverts commit 4b2157c44e.
Remove mmap/munmap suppor as this missed the interface changes for Linux-3.3
(API version 7.18).
Only revert the mmap/munmap bits and leave the retrieve_reply API fix in place
as well as the optimization in fuse_send_data_iov_fallback().
libfuse part to allow a FUSE file-system to tell the kernel when a
file or directory is deleted. If the specified dentry has the
specified inode number, the kernel will unhash it.

This fixes problems with emulating flock() with POSIX locking.
Reported by Sebastian Pipping.
As with lock/setlk/getlk most filesystems don't need to implement
this, as the kernel takes care of file locking. The only reason to
implement locking operations is for network filesystems which want
file locking to work between clients.
for mknod, mkdir and create requests by linux kernel version
2.6.31 or later, otherwise the umask is set to zero. Also
introduce a new feature flag: FUSE_CAP_DONT_MASK. If the kernel
supports this feature, then this flag will be set in conn->capable
in the ->init() method. If the filesystem sets this flag in in
conn->want, then the create modes will not be masked.
* Add low level interfaces for lookup cache and attribute
invalidation. This feature is available in linux kernels 2.6.31
or later. Patch by John Muir
* Kernel interface version is now 7.12
"restricted" ioctls are supported (which are defined with the
_IO(), _IOR(), _IOW() or _IOWR() macros). Unrestricted ioctls
will only be allwed to CUSE (Character Device in Userspace)
servers. Patch by Tejun Heo
