Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 00/21] FUSE BPF: A Stacked Filesystem Extension for FUSE

These patches extend FUSE to be able to act as a stacked filesystem. This
allows pure passthrough, where the fuse file system simply reflects the lower
filesystem, and also allows optional pre and post filtering in BPF and/or the
userspace daemon as needed. This can dramatically reduce or even eliminate
transitions to and from userspace.

For this patch set, I have removed the code related to the bpf side of things
since that is undergoing some large reworks to get it in line with the more
recent BPF developements. This set of patches implements direct passthrough to
the lower filesystem with no alteration. Looking at the v1 code should give a
pretty good idea of what the general shape of the bpf calls will look like.
Without the bpf side, it's like a less efficient bind mount. Not very useful
on its own, but still useful to get eyes on it since the backing calls will be
larglely the same when bpf is in the mix.

This changes the format of adding a backing file/bpf slightly from v1. It's now
a bit more modular. You add a block of data at the end of a lookup response to
give the bpf fd and backing id, but there is now a type header to both blocks,
and a reserved value for future additions. In the future, we may allow for
multiple bpfs or backing files, and this will allow us to extend it without any
UAPI breaking changes. Multiple BPFs would be useful for combining fuse-bpf
implementations without needing to manually combine bpf fragments. Multiple
backing files would allow implementing things like a limited overlayfs.
In this patch set, this is only a single block, with only backing supported,
although I've left the definitions reflecting the BPF case as well.
For bpf, the plan is to have two blocks, with the bpf one coming first.
Any further extensions are currently just speculative.

You can run this without needing to set up a userspace daemon by adding these
mount options: root_dir=[fd],no_daemon where fd is an open file descriptor
pointing to the folder you'd like to use as the root directory. The fd can be
immediately closed after mounting. This is useful for running various fs tests.

The main changes for v2:
-Refactored code to remove many of the ifdefs
-Adjusted attr related code per Amir's suggestions
-Added ioctl interface for responding to fuse requests (required for backing)
-Adjusted lookup add-on block for adding backing file/bpf
-Moved bpf related patches to the end of the stack (not included currently)

TODO:
override_creds to interact with backing files in the same context the daemon
would

Implement backing calls for other FUSE operations (i.e. File Locking/tmp files)
