OK, I think I understand. You mean that in fuse_send_readpages(), if 
(fc->async_read) is true, fuse_request_send_background() will be used
instead of fuse_request_send().

Therefore I think you assume from the backtrace I showed that 
(struct fuse_con *)->async_read was false, ie. that the reponse to the
initial FUSE_INIT by the sdcard daemon has not set FUSE_ASYNC_READ flag.

Thanks for you help.

Cheers.
