Amir Goldstein 7dc4e97a4f fuse: introduce FUSE_PASSTHROUGH capability
FUSE_PASSTHROUGH capability to passthrough FUSE operations to backing
files will be made available with kernel config CONFIG_FUSE_PASSTHROUGH.

When requesting FUSE_PASSTHROUGH, userspace needs to specify the
max_stack_depth that is allowed for FUSE on top of backing files.

Introduce the flag FOPEN_PASSTHROUGH and backing_id to fuse_open_out
argument that can be used when replying to OPEN request, to setup
passthrough of io operations on the fuse inode to a backing file.

Introduce a refcounted fuse_backing object that will be used to
associate an open backing file with a fuse inode.

config FUSE_FS
tristate "FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) support"
select FS_POSIX_ACL
help
With FUSE it is possible to implement a fully functional filesystem
in a userspace program.
There's also a companion library: libfuse2. This library is available
from the FUSE homepage:
<https://github.com/libfuse/>
although chances are your distribution already has that library
installed if you've installed the "fuse" package itself.
See <file:Documentation/filesystems/fuse.rst> for more information.
See <file:Documentation/Changes> for needed library/utility version.
If you want to develop a userspace FS, or if you want to use
a filesystem based on FUSE, answer Y or M.
config CUSE
tristate "Character device in Userspace support"
depends on FUSE_FS
help
This FUSE extension allows character devices to be
implemented in userspace.
If you want to develop or use a userspace character device
based on CUSE, answer Y or M.
config VIRTIO_FS
tristate "Virtio Filesystem"
depends on FUSE_FS
select VIRTIO
help
The Virtio Filesystem allows guests to mount file systems from the
host.
If you want to share files between guests or with the host, answer Y
or M.
config FUSE_DAX
bool "Virtio Filesystem Direct Host Memory Access support"
default y
select INTERVAL_TREE
depends on VIRTIO_FS
depends on FS_DAX
depends on DAX
help
This allows bypassing guest page cache and allows mapping host page
cache directly in guest address space.
If you want to allow mounting a Virtio Filesystem with the "dax"
option, answer Y.
config FUSE_PASSTHROUGH
bool "FUSE passthrough operations support"
default y
depends on FUSE_FS
select FS_STACK
help
This allows bypassing FUSE server by mapping specific FUSE operations
to be performed directly on a backing file.
If you want to allow passthrough operations, answer Y.
