Hi,
Are there any conditions under which a write to the fuse file descriptor
may block?
It seems to me that this should never be the case - except possibly when
sending a FUSE_NOTIFY_INVAL_ENTRY or FUSE_NOTIFY_DELETE request that is
related for to an ongoing file system operation. Here would would much
appreciate if someone could clarify what operations exactly would cause
the write to block. Is it possible that the write blocks indefinitely
because new related operations keep coming? Or will the kernel suspend
sending any new related requests and just wait for the existing ones to
terminate?
Thanks!
