[PATCH] fuse: add O_ASYNC support to FUSE device
This adds asynchronous notification to FUSE - a FUSE server can request O_ASYNC on a /dev/fuse file descriptor and receive SIGIO when there is input available. One subtlety - fuse_dev_fasync, which is called when O_ASYNC is requested, does no locking, unlink the other methods. I think it's unnecessary, as the fuse_conn.fasync list is manipulated only by fasync_helper and kill_fasync, which provide their own locking. It would also be wrong to use the fuse_lock, as it's a spin lock and fasync_helper can sleep. My one concern with this is the fuse_conn going away underneath fuse_dev_fasync - sys_fcntl takes a reference on the file struct, so this seems not to be a problem.
