Amir Goldstein 4a90451bbc fuse: implement open in passthrough mode
After getting a backing file id with FUSE_DEV_IOC_BACKING_OPEN ioctl,
a FUSE server can reply to an OPEN request with flag FOPEN_PASSTHROUGH
and the backing file id.

The FUSE server should reuse the same backing file id for all the open
replies of the same FUSE inode and open will fail (with -EIO) if a the
server attempts to open the same inode with conflicting io modes or to
setup passthrough to two different backing files for the same FUSE inode.
Using the same backing file id for several different inodes is allowed.

Opening a new file with FOPEN_DIRECT_IO for an inode that is already
open for passthrough is allowed, but only if the FOPEN_PASSTHROUGH flag
and correct backing file id are specified as well.

The read/write IO of such files will not use passthrough operations to
the backing file, but mmap, which does not support direct_io, will use
the backing file insead of using the page cache as it always did.

Even though all FUSE passthrough files of the same inode use the same
backing file as a backing inode reference, each FUSE file opens a unique
instance of a backing_file object to store the FUSE path that was used
to open the inode and the open flags of the specific open file.

The per-file, backing_file object is released along with the FUSE file.
The inode associated fuse_backing object is released when the last FUSE
passthrough file of that inode is released AND when the backing file id
is closed by the server using the FUSE_DEV_IOC_BACKING_CLOSE ioctl.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
