[fuse-devel] [PATCH 6/6] fuse: add mount option to disable synchronous release

[Maxim P. <MPa...@pa...>]

Synchronous release ensures that kernel fuse reports to userspace exactly
last fput(). However, nothing guarantees that last fput() will happen in the
context of close(2). So userspace applications must be prepared to the
situation when close(2) returned, but processing of FUSE_RELEASE is not
completed by fuse daemon yet. To make testing such use cases easier, the
patch introduces DISABLE_SYNC_RELEASE mount option which effectively mask out
FOPEN_SYNC_RELEASE flag.
