When mounting a user-space filesystem using io_uring, the initialization
of the rings is done separately in the server side.  If for some reason
(e.g. a server bug) this step is not performed it will be impossible to
unmount the filesystem if there are already requests waiting.

This issue is easily reproduced with the libfuse passthrough_ll example,
if the queue depth is set to '0' and a request is queued before trying to
unmount the filesystem.  When trying to force the unmount, fuse_abort_conn()
will try to wake up all tasks waiting in fc->blocked_waitq, but because the
rings were never initialized, fuse_uring_ready() will never return 'true'.

Fixes: 3393ff964e0f ("fuse: block request allocation until io-uring init is complete")

Oh yes, I had missed that.

Thanks!  And... by the way, Bernd:

I know io_uring support in libfuse isn't ready yet, but I think there's
some error handling missing in your uring branch.  In particular, the
return of fuse_uring_start() is never checked, and thus if the rings
initialization fails, the server will not get any error.

I found that out because I blindly tried the patch below, and I was
surprised that the server was started just fine.

Cheers,

Thank you! I will work a bit on splitting the uring branch into 
merge-able patches later today, but probably won't finish today (too 
many other things to do).


Thanks,
Bernd
