Hi, Miklos, this is not a well-tested patch, this is a concept, showing the places, where it looks we have a problem. Commit 7879c4e58b7c made io->async careless about inode size, and this is wrong. Asyncronuos background requests may be sent to userspace after inode becomes unlocked, when background queue is throttled. In this case we execute a write request extending inode size without any protection, and this ruines everything. Fix that. Also, some write background requests do not increment fi->writectr, e.g.: fuse_direct_IO() fuse_direct_io() fuse_send_write() fuse_async_req_send() fuse_request_send_background() This is a reason fuse_sync_writes() does not work as expected. Fix that too.
