Release mergerfs v2.36.0 · trapexit/mergerfs

Change Summary

Allow user to define depth of process thread message queues. Previously these were unbounded and "FORGET" message floods would bloat memory.
O_DIRECT now supported, mostly. If software attempt to change the O_DIRECT flag on the fly using fcntl(F_SETFL) it won't work as that is not supported by FUSE.
Fix bug in moveonenospc file moves when the file was opened in append mode.
When a create function fails with EROFS (which really only happens when an ext4 filesystem errors) the relevant branch will be marked as mode = RO and the call tried again.
Add ability to trigger memory cleanup via custom ioctl calls or signal SIGUSR2.
Add ability to trigger invalidation of all nodes to flush memory using custom ioctl or signal SIGUSR1.
