Unlike fuse_open.cpp, this file does NOT use a retry loop because the kernel guarantees serialization of create operations. WHY NO RETRY LOOP? ------------------ The fuse_open.cpp retry loop handles the case where multiple threads race to open an EXISTING file. With create(), the kernel serializes namespace operations at the VFS layer - only one create for a given path can succeed. Additionally, when a file is created, FUSE allocates a completely new nodeid (inode number). Since mergerfs never reuses nodeids, there should never be a collision in the open_files map. PASSTHROUGH MODE ---------------- Like fuse_open.cpp, this file supports FUSE passthrough mode for improved I/O performance. The backing_id is obtained from fuse_passthrough_open() and stored in the OpenFile entry. */ #include "fuse_create.hpp" #include "state.hpp" #include "config.hpp" #include "fs_readlink.hpp" #include "errno.hpp" #include "fileinfo.hpp" #include "fs_acl.hpp" #include "fs_close.hpp" #include "fs_clonepath.hpp" #include "fs_open.hpp" #include "fs_open_as.hpp" #include "fs_openat.hpp" #include "fs_path.hpp" #include "fuse_passthrough.hpp" #include "procfs.hpp" #include "syslog.hpp" #include "ugid.hpp" #include "fuse.h" #include #include /* The kernel expects being able to issue read requests when running with writeback caching enabled so we must change O_WRONLY to O_RDWR.
