Subject[GIT PULL] fuse update for 4.2
Hi Linus,

Please pull from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/fuse.git for-linus

This is the start of improving fuse scalability.

An input queue and a processing queue is split out from the monolithic fuse
connection, each of those having their own spinlock. The end of the patchset
adds the ability to clone a fuse connection. This means, that instead of having
to read/write requests/answers on a single fuse device fd, the fuse daemon can
have multiple distinct file descriptors open. Each of those can be used to
receive requests and send answers, currently the only constraint is that a
request must be answered on the same fd as it was read from.

This can be extended further to allow binding a device clone to a specific CPU
or NUMA node.

Based on a patchset by Srinivas Eeda and Ashish Samant. Thanks to Ashish for
the review of this series.

(While the commits seem young, this has been in for-next for a month at least,
only the Reviewed-by tags were added recently).

Thanks,
Miklos
