I am using Linux 3.19-rc1 and I encountered a bug where stat() would sporatically fail with EIO when called on a file in a FUSE filesystem very shortly after that filesystem has been mounted. This is a regression caused by commit 7078187a: "fuse: introduce fuse_simple_request() helper". The underlying issue is that the arguments to the FUSE request are being initialized before the protocol version (fc->minor) is known. This was not a problem with the old code because fuse_get_req() will wait until the channel has been initialized. The only potential solutions I have in mind are adding an explicit waits in all the needed places, or reverting the commit.
