Yes, thanks. I think this is a good idea, and maybe better than add the new
options
(mount_ns | no_mount_ns). Actually, "-o sandbox=" has not been upstream
when we
add the new options.

Consider the following removexattr handling procedure:

    lo_removexattr() {
        (1) // ......
        (2). fremovexattr / removexattr
        (3) // ......
        (4). fuse_reply_err(req, saverr);
    }

If virtiofsd successfully executed (2) but crashes at (3). When new
virtiofsd is
reconnected, as (4) is not executed before crashing, this fuse request will
be
re-executed from (1), and (2) will be executed for the second time. As the
xattr
is already removed by the first execution of (2), this time an ENODATA will
be
returned by (2) and mistakenly replied to fuse by (4).
