When a waiting lock request comes in, we need a way to reply back saying wait for the notification. So I used value "1" for the fuse_out_header->error field for this purpose. As of now, 0 is returned for success and negative values for error code. So positive values seem to be unused. > > > +int fuse_lowlevel_notify_lock(struct fuse_session *se, uint64_t req_id, > > + int32_t error) > > +{ > > + struct fuse_notify_lock_out outarg; > > Missing = {} initialization to avoid information leaks to the guest.

It can just queue the notification reuqest and some other thread (including notification thread could send it later). Number of pre-allocated buffers could be of fixed and we will drop notifications if guest is not responding. This will also take care of concerns w.r.t rogue guest blocking filesystem code in daemon. Anyway, this is a TODO item and not implemented yet. Thanks Vivek
