I originally compile-tested the patch with `make -j4`, was distracted onto other topic and did not see the error after returning due to long tail of successful CC lines. Apologize for the inconvenience. Below is a fixed patch that was both compile-tested and runtime-tested with my FUSE workloads (non-glusterfs).

In this version we require only `sizeof(fuse_in_header) + sizeof(fuse_write_in)` instead of 4K for FUSE request header room, because, contrary to libfuse and kernel client behaviour, GlusterFS actually provides only so much room for request header. ] A FUSE filesystem server queues /dev/fuse sys_read calls to get filesystem requests to handle. It does not know in advance what would be that request as it can be anything that client issues - LOOKUP, READ, WRITE, ... Many requests are short and retrieve data from the filesystem. However WRITE and NOTIFY_REPLY write data into filesystem. Before getting into operation phase, FUSE filesystem server and kernel client negotiate what should be the maximum write size the client will ever issue. After negotiation the contract in between server/client is that the filesystem server then should queue /dev/fuse sys_read calls with enough buffer capacity to receive any client request - WRITE in particular, while FUSE client should not, in particular, send WRITE requests with > negotiated max_write payload. FUSE client in kernel and libfuse historically reserve 4K for request header. However an existing filesystem server - GlusterFS - was found which reserves only 80 bytes for header room (= `sizeof(fuse_in_header) + sizeof(fuse_write_in)`). https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20190611202738.GA22556@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/blob/v3.8.15-0-gd174f021a/xlators/mount/fuse/src/fuse-bridge.c#L4894 Since `sizeof(fuse_in_header) + sizeof(fuse_write_in)` == `sizeof(fuse_in_header) + sizeof(fuse_read_in)` == `sizeof(fuse_in_header) + sizeof(fuse_notify_retrieve_in)` is the absolute minimum any sane filesystem should be using for header room, the contract is that filesystem server should queue sys_reads with `sizeof(fuse_in_header) + sizeof(fuse_write_in)` + max_write buffer. If the filesystem server does not follow this contract, what can happen is that fuse_dev_do_read will see that request size is > buffer size, and then it will return EIO to client who issued the request but won't indicate in any way that there is a problem to filesystem server. This can be hard to diagnose because for some requests, e.g. for NOTIFY_REPLY which mimics WRITE, there is no client thread that is waiting for request completion and that EIO goes nowhere, while on filesystem server side things look like the kernel is not replying back after successful NOTIFY_RETRIEVE request made by the server. We can make the problem easy to diagnose if we indicate via error return to filesystem server when it is violating the contract. This should not practically cause problems because if a filesystem server is using shorter buffer, writes to it were already very likely to cause EIO, and if the filesystem is read-only it should be too following FUSE_MIN_READ_BUFFER minimum buffer size. Please see [1] for context where the problem of stuck filesystem was hit for real (because kernel client was incorrectly sending more than max_write data with NOTIFY_REPLY; see also previous patch), how the situation was traced and for more involving patch that did not make it into the tree.
