The issue is real.
The fix, however, is not the right one. The fundamental problem is
that fuse_write_inode() blocks on a request to userspace.
This is the same issue that fuse_writepage/fuse_writepages face. In
that case the solution was to copy the page contents to a temporary
buffer and return immediately as if the writeback already completed.
Something similar needs to be done here: send the FUSE_SETATTR request
asynchronously and return immediately from fuse_write_inode(). The
tricky part is to make sure that multiple time updates for the same
inode aren't mixed up...
Thanks,
Miklos
