[Gluster-devel] Fuse operations

[Ian Latter]

Hello,


  I published the Hide module in order to open a
discussion around Fuse operations;
   
http://fuse.sourceforge.net/doxygen/structfuse__operations.html

  In the dedupe module I want to secure the hash
database from direct parent/use manipulation.  
The approach that I took was to find every 
GlusterFS file operation (fop) that took a loc_t 
parameter (as discovered via every xlator that is 
included in the tarball), in order to do path 
matching and then pass-through the call or 
return an error.

  The problem is that I can't find GlusterFS 
examples for all of the Fuse operators and, when
I stray from the examples (like getattr and 
utiments), gluster tells me that there are no
such xlator fops (at compile time - from the wind
and unwind macros).

  So, I guess;
    1) Are all Fuse/FS ops handled by Gluster?
    2) Where can I find a complete list of the 
         Gluster fops, and not just those that have
         been used in existing modules?
    3) Is it safe to path match on loc_t? (i.e. is
         it fully resolved such that I won't find
         /etc/././././passwd)?  This I could test ..


Thanks,
