If regular request queue gets full, currently we sleep for a bit and
retrying submission in submitter's context. This assumes submitter is not
holding any spin lock. But this assumption is not true for background
requests. For background requests, we are called with fc->bg_lock held.
This can lead to deadlock where one thread is trying submission with
fc->bg_lock held while request completion thread has called
fuse_request_end() which tries to acquire fc->bg_lock and gets blocked. As
request completion thread gets blocked, it does not make further progress
and that means queue does not get empty and submitter can't submit more
requests.
To solve this issue, retry submission with the help of a worker, instead of
retrying in submitter's context. We already do this for hiprio/forget
requests.

If virtqueue is full, we put forget requests on a list and these forgets
are dispatched later using a worker. As of now we don't count these forgets
in fsvq->in_flight variable. This means when queue is being drained, we
have to have special logic to first drain these pending requests and then
wait for fsvq->in_flight to go to zero.
By counting pending forgets in fsvq->in_flight, we can get rid of special
logic and just wait for in_flight to go to zero. Worker thread will kick
and drain all the forgets anyway, leading in_flight to zero.
I also need similar logic for normal request queue in next patch where I am
about to defer request submission in the worker context if queue is full.
This simplifies the code a bit.
Also add two helper functions to inc/dec in_flight. Decrement in_flight
helper will later used to call completion when in_flight reaches zero.

FR_SENT flag should be set when request has been sent successfully sent
over virtqueue. This is used by interrupt logic to figure out if interrupt
request should be sent or not.
Also add it to fqp->processing list after sending it successfully.

In virtiofs we keep per queue connected state in virtio_fs_vq->connected
and use that to end request if queue is not connected. And virtiofs does
not even touch fpq->connected state.
We probably need to merge these two at some point of time. For now,
simplify the code a bit and do not worry about checking state of
fpq->connected.

Submission context can hold some locks which end request code tries to hold
again and deadlock can occur. For example, fc->bg_lock. If a background
request is being submitted, it might hold fc->bg_lock and if we could not
submit request (because device went away) and tried to end request, then
deadlock happens. During testing, I also got a warning from deadlock
detection code.
So put requests on a list and end requests from a worker thread.
I got following warning from deadlock detector.

Virtio-fs does not accept any mount options, so it's confusing and wrong to
show any in /proc/mounts.

Add a basic file system module for virtio-fs. This does not yet contain
shared data support between host and guest or metadata coherency speedups.
However it is already significantly faster than virtio-9p.
Design Overview
===============
With the goal of designing something with better performance and local file
system semantics, a bunch of ideas were proposed.
- Use fuse protocol (instead of 9p) for communication between guest and
host. Guest kernel will be fuse client and a fuse server will run on
host to serve the requests.
- For data access inside guest, mmap portion of file in QEMU address space
and guest accesses this memory using dax. That way guest page cache is
bypassed and there is only one copy of data (on host). This will also
enable mmap(MAP_SHARED) between guests.
- For metadata coherency, there is a shared memory region which contains
version number associated with metadata and any guest changing metadata
updates version number and other guests refresh metadata on next access.
This is yet to be implemented.
How virtio-fs differs from existing approaches
==============================================
The unique idea behind virtio-fs is to take advantage of the co-location of
the virtual machine and hypervisor to avoid communication (vmexits).
DAX allows file contents to be accessed without communication with the
hypervisor. The shared memory region for metadata avoids communication in
the common case where metadata is unchanged.
By replacing expensive communication with cheaper shared memory accesses,
we expect to achieve better performance than approaches based on network
file system protocols. In addition, this also makes it easier to achieve
local file system semantics (coherency).
These techniques are not applicable to network file system protocols since
the communications channel is bypassed by taking advantage of shared memory
on a local machine. This is why we decided to build virtio-fs rather than
focus on 9P or NFS.
Caching Modes
=============
Like virtio-9p, different caching modes are supported which determine the
coherency level as well. The “cache=FOO” and “writeback” options control
the level of coherence between the guest and host filesystems.
- cache=none
metadata, data and pathname lookup are not cached in guest. They are
always fetched from host and any changes are immediately pushed to host.
- cache=always
metadata, data and pathname lookup are cached in guest and never expire.
- cache=auto
metadata and pathname lookup cache expires after a configured amount of
time (default is 1 second). Data is cached while the file is open
(close to open consistency).
- writeback/no_writeback
These options control the writeback strategy. If writeback is disabled,
then normal writes will immediately be synchronized with the host fs.
If writeback is enabled, then writes may be cached in the guest until
the file is closed or an fsync(2) performed. This option has no effect
on mmap-ed writes or writes going through the DAX mechanism.
