    No, I don't. Sorry. I was thinking you were referring to the wait_event
    calls in the fuse request code. My bad.

    Perhaps it's best to go back to my original position: hold new requests
    and allow existing ones to complete. I'll look again at previous
    messages to see why you thought that was problematic.

    Regards,

    Nigel
