4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 2e38bea99a80eab408adee27f873a188d57b76cb upstream. fuse_file_put() was missing the "force" flag for the RELEASE request when sending synchronously (fuseblk). If this flag is not set, then a sync request may be interrupted before it is dequeued by the userspace filesystem. In this case the OPEN won't be balanced with a RELEASE.
