It used here https://lore.kernel.org/io-uring/20230403-wound-roundworm-c1660e059b8c@brauner/T/#m5f86985d6c67dd1d01a977475dab542c338372dd fuse_finish_open has its own lock, so letting uring handle requests in parallel should not hurt? Is this going like application -> uring does parallel requests -> fuse.ko -> fuse-deamon So when fuse-deamon signals that it can handle parallel DIO, it is just fuse.ko that might need its own lock to extend the file? Thanks, Bernd
