[PATCH v8 0/3] fuse: add kernel-enforced request timeout option

[Joanne Koong <joannelkoong@gmail.com>]

There are situations where fuse servers can become unresponsive or
stuck, for example if the server is in a deadlock. Currently, there's
no good way to detect if a server is stuck and needs to be killed
manually.

This patchset adds a timeout option where if the server does not reply to a
request by the time the timeout elapses, the connection will be aborted.
This patchset also adds two dynamically configurable fuse sysctls
"default_request_timeout" and "max_request_timeout" for controlling/enforcing
timeout behavior system-wide.

Existing systems running fuse servers will not be affected unless they
explicitly opt into the timeout.
