There is a minor race in setting the fuse out request error between fuse_abort_conn() and fuse_dev_do_read() as explained below. Thread-1 Thread-2 ======== ======== ->fuse_simple_request() ->shutdown ->__fuse_request_send() ->queue_request() ->fuse_abort_conn() ->fuse_dev_do_read() ->acquire(fpq->lock) ->wait_for(fpq->lock) ->set err to all req's in fpq->io ->release(fpq->lock) ->acquire(fpq->lock) ->add req to fpq->io The above scenario may cause Thread-1 request to add into fpq->io list after Thread-2 sets -ECONNABORTED err to all its requests in fpq->io list. This leaves Thread-1 request with unset err and this further misleads as a completed request without an err set upon request_end(). Handle this by setting the err appropriately.
