    fuse: add blksize field to fuse_attr · 0e9663ee

    There are cases when the filesystem will be passed the buffer from a single
    read or write call, namely:
    
     1) in 'direct-io' mode (not O_DIRECT), read/write requests don't go
        through the page cache, but go directly to the userspace fs
    
     2) currently buffered writes are done with single page requests, but
        if Nick's ->perform_write() patch goes it, it will be possible to
        do larger write requests.  But only if the original write() was
        also bigger than a page.
    
    In these cases the filesystem might want to give a hint to the app
    about the optimal I/O size.
    
    Allow the userspace filesystem to supply a blksize value to be returned by
    stat() and friends.  If the field is zero, it defaults to the old
    PAGE_CACHE_SIZE value.
