Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] fuse: Expose more information of fuse backing files
 to userspace

Please review this patch series carefully. I am new to kernel
development and I am not quite sure if I have followed the best
practices, especially in terms of seq_file, error handling and locking.
I would appreciate any feedback.

I have do some simply testing using libfuse example [1]. It seems to
work well.

Changes in v2:
- Void using seq_file private field as it seems that we can just simply
  returning fuse_backing_files_seq_state in start() and next()
- Apply some suggestions from Amir Goldstein:
  - Use idr_get_next() for iteration
  - Do fuse_backing_get/put(fb) around dereferencing fb->file
- Update fdinfo of fuse files
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250507032926.377076-2-chenlinxuan@uniontech.com
