[PATCH V7 11/19] famfs_fuse: Basic fuse kernel ABI enablement for famfs

From: John Groves <hidden>
Date: 2026-01-18 22:32:56
Also in: linux-cxl, linux-fsdevel, lkml, nvdimm
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), fuse filesystem [core], the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Miklos Szeredi, Linus Torvalds

From: John Groves <john@groves.net>

This patch starts the kernel ABI enablement of famfs in fuse.

- Kconfig: Add FUSE_FAMFS_DAX config parameter, to control
  compilation of famfs within fuse.
- FUSE_DAX_FMAP flag in INIT request/reply
- fuse_conn->famfs_iomap (enable famfs-mapped files) to denote a
  famfs-enabled connection
