In the io-uring case, there still can be fuds and their associated
fpqs given that /dev/fuse can be used still, no? So wouldn't the
io-uring case still need this logic in fuse_check_timeout() for
checking requests going through /dev/fuse?

How do you envision a queue check that bypasses grabbing the
queue->lock? The timeout handler could be triggered on any core, so
I'm not seeing how it could be core bound.

Why do we need to iterate through the ent lists (ent_w_req_queue and
ent_commit_queue)? AFAICT, in io-uring a request is either on the
fuse_req_queue/fuse_req_bg_queue or on the fpq->processing list. Even
when an entry has been queued to ent_w_req_queue or ent_commit_queue,
the request itself is still queued on
fuse_req_queue/fuse_req_bg_queue/fpq->processing. I'm not sure I
understand why we still need to look at the ent lists?

Why do we need to iterate through fuse_req_queue and
fuse_req_bg_queue? fuse_uring_request_expired() checks the head of
fuse_req_queue and fuse_req_bg_queue and given that requests are added
to fuse_req_queue/fuse_req_bg_queue sequentially (eg added to the tail
of these lists), why isn't this enough?


If it's helpful, I can resubmit this patch series so that the io-uring
changes are isolated to its own patch (eg have patch 1 and 2 from the
original series and then have patch 3 be the io-uring changes).

Thanks,
Joanne
