This patch needs "fs: stream_open - opener for stream-like files so that
read and write can run simultaneously without deadlock" (10dce8af3422)
as its dependency. It documents so in its commit message. That base
dependency patch is being discussed here in stable context:

"fuse: add FOPEN_CACHE_DIR" added another nearby constant. The conflict
with that patch should be trivially resolvable (just add FOPEN_STREAM
irregardless that there is no FOPEN_CACHE_DIR in context).

same.

I have backported this patch to above those stable trees. You can pull
the result from https://lab.nexedi.com/kirr/linux.git, branches:

	fopen_stream-5.0.y
	fopen_stream-4.19.y
	fopen_stream-4.14.y
	fopen_stream-4.4.y
		( actually fixed deadlock on /proc/xen/xenbus as
		  581d21a2d02a was not backported to 4.4 )
	fopen_stream-3.18.y
		( actually fixed deadlock on /proc/xen/xenbus as
		  581d21a2d02a was not backported to 3.18 )


Hope it helps a bit,

Kirill

P.S.

The fact that 4.4 and 3.18 versions of stream_open patch had to
resolve xenbus conflict in a way that actually fixes /proc/xen/xenbus
deadlock (introduced in 3.14) suggests that deadlock error messages
produced by stream_open.cocci should indeed be considered by relevant
maintainers including stable team...
