So in this case single process is client as well as server. IOW, one
thread is fuse server servicing fuse requests and other thread is fuse
client accessing fuse filesystem?

So why did fuse server thread stop responding to fuse messages. Why
did it not complete flush.

Is it something to do with this init process dying in pid namespace
and it killed that fuse server thread. But it could not kill another
thread because it is in unkillable wait.

BTW, unkillable wait happens on ly fc->no_interrupt = 1. And this seems
to be set only if server probably some previous interrupt request
returned -ENOSYS.

fuse_dev_do_write() {
else if (oh.error == -ENOSYS)
fc->no_interrupt = 1;
}

So a simple workaround might be for server to implement support for
interrupting requests.

Having said that, this does sounds like a problem and probably should
be fixed at kernel level.

Trying to do a fatal signal killable wait sounds reasonable. But I am
not sure about the history.

- Why FORCE requests can't do killable wait.
- Why flush needs to have FORCE flag set.

That's strange. No idea what's going on.
