Not a very good idea.
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.
