If using Linux 6.9 or above and enabled (passthrough=true) files
opened or created will use the FUSE passthrough feature.
If direct-io=true / cache.files=off it will override passthrough. If
direct-io-allow-mmap is enabled only mmap will passthrough.
HANDLE_KILLPRIV and V2 are enabled now by default to remove the
kernel's need to issue getattr and getxattr requests.
moveonenospc will not work when leveraging passthrough.
* Remove request interrupt code. Required tracking of all requests unnecesssarily.
* Remove all debugging printing. Have plans to do full replacement.
* Remove deprecated functions.
* Remove unneeded error checking.
* Remove "userdata" which was unused.
* Remove allow_root feature.
* follow-symlinks: allows mergerfs to transparently follow symlinks
* link-exdev: in the event a link returns EXDEV create a symlink instead
* rename-exdev: in the event a rename returns EXDEV move the oldpath and
create a symlink for the newpath
addresses #521
mergerfs is written using libfuse's high level API. The HLAPI forces a certain
behavior with regard to unlinking or rename overwriting of open files. It
renames the file to .fuse_hiddenXXXXXX and when incoming requests refer
to the unlinked file it will use path based calls and use that path.
This behavior leads to rmdirs failing or some software noticing
the .fuse_hidden files.
This patch changes the HLAPI and removes entirely the .fuse_hidden behavior.
