Re: [fuse-devel] [libfuse] Allow for 'fh' to be set from any function (#3)

[Antonio SJ M. <tra...@sp...>]

Moving from github[0]:

Something has to be able tie together the requests. Keep state. That
primary identifier or flow which ties together request A to B. That
identifier may be used by the kernel but the file handle is not used by the
kernel. So it's not clear why it was decided, besides convenience, to
include a userland layer piece of data in the kernel <-> userland protocol.

Keeping state in the message flow is nice and mostly stateless but in this
case makes it a protocol change to allow the flexibility I was looking for.
