From 3b463ae0c6264f70e5d4c0a9c46af20fed43c96e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Muir Date: Sun, 31 May 2009 11:13:57 -0400 Subject: fuse: invalidation reverse calls Add notification messages that allow the filesystem to invalidate VFS caches. Two notifications are added: 1) inode invalidation - invalidate cached attributes - invalidate a range of pages in the page cache (this is optional) 2) dentry invalidation - try to invalidate a subtree in the dentry cache Care must be taken while accessing the 'struct super_block' for the mount, as it can go away while an invalidation is in progress. To prevent this, introduce a rw-semaphore, that is taken for read during the invalidation and taken for write in the ->kill_sb callback.
