fuse: add support for kernel writeback cache
- Added kernel-writeback-cache command line and xlator
option for requesting utilisation of the writeback
cache of the kernel in FUSE_INIT (see [1]).
- Added attr-times-granularity command line and xlator
option via which granularity of the {a,m,c}time in
stat (attr) data that we support can be indicated to
kernel. This is a means to avoid divergence of the
attr times between kernel and userspace that could
occur with writeback-cache, while still maintaining
maximum time precision the FUSE server is capable of
(see [2]).
- Handling FATTR_CTIME flag in FUSE_SETATTR that
indicates presence of ctime in setattr payload.
Currently we cannot associate arbitrary ctimes to
files on backend, so we just touch them to update
their ctimes to current time. Having ctimes in setattr
payload is also a side effect of writeback cache
(see [3] and [4]).
