Detailed Description

Low level filesystem operations

Most of the methods (with the exception of init and destroy) receive a request handle (fuse_req_t) as their first argument. This handle must be passed to one of the specified reply functions.

This may be done inside the method invocation, or after the call has returned. The request handle is valid until one of the reply functions is called.

Other pointer arguments (name, fuse_file_info, etc) are not valid after the call has returned, so if they are needed later, their contents have to be copied.

The filesystem sometimes needs to handle a return value of -ENOENT from the reply function, which means, that the request was interrupted, and the reply discarded. For example if fuse_reply_open() return -ENOENT means, that the release method for this file will not be called.

Field Documentation

void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::access)(fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t ino, int mask)

Check file access permissions

This will be called for the access() system call. If the 'default_permissions' mount option is given, this method is not called.

This method is not called under Linux kernel versions 2.4.x

Introduced in version 2.5

Valid replies: fuse_reply_err

Parameters
reqrequest handle
inothe inode number
maskrequested access mode
void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::bmap)(fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t ino, size_t blocksize, uint64_t idx)

Map block index within file to block index within device

Note: This makes sense only for block device backed filesystems mounted with the 'blkdev' option

Introduced in version 2.6

Valid replies: fuse_reply_bmap fuse_reply_err

Parameters
reqrequest handle
inothe inode number
blocksizeunit of block index
idxblock index within file
void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::create)(fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t parent, const char *name, mode_t mode, struct fuse_file_info *fi)

Create and open a file

If the file does not exist, first create it with the specified mode, and then open it.

Open flags (with the exception of O_NOCTTY) are available in fi->flags.

Filesystem may store an arbitrary file handle (pointer, index, etc) in fi->fh, and use this in other all other file operations (read, write, flush, release, fsync).

There are also some flags (direct_io, keep_cache) which the filesystem may set in fi, to change the way the file is opened. See fuse_file_info structure in <fuse_common.h> for more details.

If this method is not implemented or under Linux kernel versions earlier than 2.6.15, the mknod() and open() methods will be called instead.

Introduced in version 2.5

Valid replies: fuse_reply_create fuse_reply_err

Parameters
reqrequest handle
parentinode number of the parent directory
nameto create
modefile type and mode with which to create the new file
fifile information
void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::destroy)(void *userdata)

Clean up filesystem

Called on filesystem exit

There's no reply to this function

Parameters
userdatathe user data passed to fuse_lowlevel_new()
void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::fallocate)(fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t ino, int mode, off_t offset, off_t length, struct fuse_file_info *fi)

Allocate requested space. If this function returns success then subsequent writes to the specified range shall not fail due to the lack of free space on the file system storage media.

Introduced in version 2.9

Valid replies: fuse_reply_err

Parameters
reqrequest handle
inothe inode number
offsetstarting point for allocated region
lengthsize of allocated region
modedetermines the operation to be performed on the given range, see fallocate(2)
void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::flock)(fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t ino, struct fuse_file_info *fi, int op)

Acquire, modify or release a BSD file lock

Note: if the locking methods are not implemented, the kernel will still allow file locking to work locally. Hence these are only interesting for network filesystems and similar.

Introduced in version 2.9

Valid replies: fuse_reply_err

Parameters
reqrequest handle
inothe inode number
fifile information
opthe locking operation, see flock(2)
void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::flush)(fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t ino, struct fuse_file_info *fi)

Flush method

This is called on each close() of the opened file.

Since file descriptors can be duplicated (dup, dup2, fork), for one open call there may be many flush calls.

Filesystems shouldn't assume that flush will always be called after some writes, or that if will be called at all.

fi->fh will contain the value set by the open method, or will be undefined if the open method didn't set any value.

NOTE: the name of the method is misleading, since (unlike fsync) the filesystem is not forced to flush pending writes. One reason to flush data, is if the filesystem wants to return write errors.

If the filesystem supports file locking operations (setlk, getlk) it should remove all locks belonging to 'fi->owner'.

Valid replies: fuse_reply_err

Parameters
reqrequest handle
inothe inode number
fifile information
void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::forget)(fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t ino, unsigned long nlookup)

Forget about an inode

This function is called when the kernel removes an inode from its internal caches.

The inode's lookup count increases by one for every call to fuse_reply_entry and fuse_reply_create. The nlookup parameter indicates by how much the lookup count should be decreased.

Inodes with a non-zero lookup count may receive request from the kernel even after calls to unlink, rmdir or (when overwriting an existing file) rename. Filesystems must handle such requests properly and it is recommended to defer removal of the inode until the lookup count reaches zero. Calls to unlink, remdir or rename will be followed closely by forget unless the file or directory is open, in which case the kernel issues forget only after the release or releasedir calls.

Note that if a file system will be exported over NFS the inodes lifetime must extend even beyond forget. See the generation field in struct fuse_entry_param above.

On unmount the lookup count for all inodes implicitly drops to zero. It is not guaranteed that the file system will receive corresponding forget messages for the affected inodes.

Valid replies: fuse_reply_none

Filesystem may store an arbitrary file handle (pointer, index, etc) in fi->fh, and use this in other all other file operations (read, write, flush, release, fsync).

Filesystem may also implement stateless file I/O and not store anything in fi->fh.

There are also some flags (direct_io, keep_cache) which the filesystem may set in fi, to change the way the file is opened. See fuse_file_info structure in <fuse_common.h> for more details.

Valid replies: fuse_reply_open fuse_reply_err

Parameters
reqrequest handle
inothe inode number
fifile information
void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::opendir)(fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t ino, struct fuse_file_info *fi)

Open a directory

Filesystem may store an arbitrary file handle (pointer, index, etc) in fi->fh, and use this in other all other directory stream operations (readdir, releasedir, fsyncdir).

Filesystem may also implement stateless directory I/O and not store anything in fi->fh, though that makes it impossible to implement standard conforming directory stream operations in case the contents of the directory can change between opendir and releasedir.

Valid replies: fuse_reply_open fuse_reply_err

Parameters
reqrequest handle
inothe inode number
fifile information
void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::poll)(fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t ino, struct fuse_file_info *fi, struct fuse_pollhandle *ph)

Poll for IO readiness

Introduced in version 2.8

Note: If ph is non-NULL, the client should notify when IO readiness events occur by calling fuse_lowelevel_notify_poll() with the specified ph.

Regardless of the number of times poll with a non-NULL ph is received, single notification is enough to clear all. Notifying more times incurs overhead but doesn't harm correctness.

The callee is responsible for destroying ph with fuse_pollhandle_destroy() when no longer in use.

Valid replies: fuse_reply_poll fuse_reply_err

Parameters
reqrequest handle
inothe inode number
fifile information
phpoll handle to be used for notification
void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::read)(fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t ino, size_t size, off_t off, struct fuse_file_info *fi)

Read data

Read should send exactly the number of bytes requested except on EOF or error, otherwise the rest of the data will be substituted with zeroes. An exception to this is when the file has been opened in 'direct_io' mode, in which case the return value of the read system call will reflect the return value of this operation.

fi->fh will contain the value set by the open method, or will be undefined if the open method didn't set any value.

Read directory

Send a buffer filled using fuse_add_direntry(), with size not exceeding the requested size. Send an empty buffer on end of stream.

fi->fh will contain the value set by the opendir method, or will be undefined if the opendir method didn't set any value.

Valid replies: fuse_reply_buf fuse_reply_data fuse_reply_err

Parameters

Parameters
reqrequest handle
inothe inode number
void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::release)(fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t ino, struct fuse_file_info *fi)

Release an open file

Release is called when there are no more references to an open file: all file descriptors are closed and all memory mappings are unmapped.

For every open call there will be exactly one release call.

The filesystem may reply with an error, but error values are not returned to close() or munmap() which triggered the release.

fi->fh will contain the value set by the open method, or will be undefined if the open method didn't set any value. fi->flags will contain the same flags as for open.

Valid replies: fuse_reply_err

Parameters

void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::rename)(fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t parent, const char *name, fuse_ino_t newparent, const char *newname)

Rename a file

If the target exists it should be atomically replaced. If the target's inode's lookup count is non-zero, the file system is expected to postpone any removal of the inode until the lookup count reaches zero (see description of the forget function).

Valid replies: fuse_reply_err

Parameters
reqrequest handle
parentinode number of the old parent directory
nameold name
newparentinode number of the new parent directory
newnamenew name

Callback function for the retrieve request

Introduced in version 2.9

Valid replies: fuse_reply_none

Parameters
reqrequest handle
cookieuser data supplied to fuse_lowlevel_notify_retrieve()
inothe inode number supplied to fuse_lowlevel_notify_retrieve()
offsetthe offset supplied to fuse_lowlevel_notify_retrieve()
bufvthe buffer containing the returned data
void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::rmdir)(fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t parent, const char *name)

Remove a directory

If the directory's inode's lookup count is non-zero, the file system is expected to postpone any removal of the inode until the lookup count reaches zero (see description of the forget function).

Valid replies: fuse_reply_err

Parameters
reqrequest handle
parentinode number of the parent directory
nameto remove
void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::setattr)(fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t ino, struct stat *attr, int to_set, struct fuse_file_info *fi)

Set file attributes

In the 'attr' argument only members indicated by the 'to_set' bitmask contain valid values. Other members contain undefined values.

If the setattr was invoked from the ftruncate() system call under Linux kernel versions 2.6.15 or later, the fi->fh will contain the value set by the open method or will be undefined if the open method didn't set any value. Otherwise (not ftruncate call, or kernel version earlier than 2.6.15) the fi parameter will be NULL.

Valid replies: fuse_reply_attr fuse_reply_err

Parameters
reqrequest handle
inothe inode number
attrthe attributes
to_setbit mask of attributes which should be set
fifile information, or NULL

Changed in version 2.5: file information filled in for ftruncate

void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::setlk)(fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t ino, struct fuse_file_info *fi, struct flock *lock, int sleep)

Acquire, modify or release a POSIX file lock

For POSIX threads (NPTL) there's a 1-1 relation between pid and owner, but otherwise this is not always the case. For checking lock ownership, 'fi->owner' must be used. The l_pid field in 'struct flock' should only be used to fill in this field in getlk().

Note: if the locking methods are not implemented, the kernel will still allow file locking to work locally. Hence these are only interesting for network filesystems and similar.

Introduced in version 2.6

Valid replies: fuse_reply_err

Parameters
reqrequest handle

fifile information
lockthe region/type to set
sleeplocking operation may sleep
void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::setxattr)(fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t ino, const char *name, const char *value, size_t size, int flags)

Set an extended attribute

Valid replies: fuse_reply_err

void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::statfs)(fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t ino)

void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::symlink)(fuse_req_t req, const char *link, fuse_ino_t parent, const char *name)

Create a symbolic link

Valid replies: fuse_reply_entry fuse_reply_err

Parameters
reqrequest handle
linkthe contents of the symbolic link
parentinode number of the parent directory
nameto create
void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::unlink)(fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t parent, const char *name)

Remove a file

If the file's inode's lookup count is non-zero, the file system is expected to postpone any removal of the inode until the lookup count reaches zero (see description of the forget function).

Valid replies: fuse_reply_err

Parameters
reqrequest handle
parentinode number of the parent directory
nameto remove
void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::write)(fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t ino, const char *buf, size_t size, off_t off, struct fuse_file_info *fi)

Write data

Write should return exactly the number of bytes requested except on error. An exception to this is when the file has been opened in 'direct_io' mode, in which case the return value of the write system call will reflect the return value of this operation.

fi->fh will contain the value set by the open method, or will be undefined if the open method didn't set any value.

Valid replies: fuse_reply_write fuse_reply_err

Parameters
reqrequest handle
inothe inode number
bufdata to write
sizenumber of bytes to write
offoffset to write to
fifile information
void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::write_buf)(fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t ino, struct fuse_bufvec *bufv, off_t off, struct fuse_file_info *fi)

Write data made available in a buffer

This is a more generic version of the ->write() method. If FUSE_CAP_SPLICE_READ is set in fuse_conn_info.want and the kernel supports splicing from the fuse device, then the data will be made available in pipe for supporting zero copy data transfer.

buf->count is guaranteed to be one (and thus buf->idx is always zero). The write_buf handler must ensure that bufv->off is correctly updated (reflecting the number of bytes read from bufv->buf[0]).

Introduced in version 2.9

Valid replies: fuse_reply_write fuse_reply_err

Parameters
reqrequest handle
inothe inode number
bufvbuffer containing the data
offoffset to write to
