It seems like this function is called during mount() operation. Is that correct? If yes then basically the admin process or node controller is being charged for this memory. Nothing bad but this info should be in commit message. Also what is the lifetime of these objects? From mount to unmount? Please add that info as well. There are other unaccounted allocations in the fuse fs. Is there a followup plan to include those as well? thanks, Shakeel
