The client process is one of the processes in container. And the server process is lxcfs 
which belongs to global namespace.

In this case, if the interrupt request is processed before the original request is processed, 
for the arriving original request, fuse_session_process_buf_int()which used in libfuse
invokes check_interrupt() can find the interrupt request and mark the req as interrupted, 
so the server thread which invokes fuse_lib_flush() will sleep for some time and eventually 
send reply to client without setting FUSE_INT_REQ_BIT in unique.

So why the client doesn't get woken up?
