7 * This file is released under the GPLv2.
9 * CUSE enables character devices to be implemented from userland much
10 * like FUSE allows filesystems. On initialization /dev/cuse is
11 * created. By opening the file and replying to the CUSE_INIT request
12 * userland CUSE server can create a character device. After that the
13 * operation is very similar to FUSE.
15 * A CUSE instance involves the following objects.
17 * cuse_conn : contains fuse_conn and serves as bonding structure
18 * channel : file handle connected to the userland CUSE server
19 * cdev : the implemented character device
20 * dev : generic device for cdev
22 * Note that 'channel' is what 'dev' is in FUSE. As CUSE deals with
23 * devices, it's called 'channel' to reduce confusion.
25 * channel determines when the character device dies. When channel is
26 * closed, everything begins to destruct. The cuse_conn is taken off
27 * the lookup table preventing further access from cdev, cdev and
28 * generic device are removed and the base reference of cuse_conn is
31 * On each open, the matching cuse_conn is looked up and if found an
32 * additional reference is taken which is released when the file is
