            Bug ID: 218101
           Summary: [fuse] Support entry_timeout / attr_timeout
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern

Hello,

Would be nice if fuse could support following options :
- entry_timeout (entry_valid fuse field)
- attr_timeout  (attr_valid  fuse field)

>From Linux mount.fuse man :
entry_timeout=T
The timeout in seconds for which name lookups will be cached.
attr_timeout=T
The timeout in seconds for which file/directory attributes are cached.

This would help some fuse FS to work correctly, for example the encfs reverse
mode, which relies on both of them set to 0.

Many thanks !

Ben
