Hmm ok, I was hoping that contiguous memory is not needed.
I see that ENOMEM is handled, but how that that perform (or even
complete) on a really badly fragmented system? I guess splitting into
smaller pages or at least adding some reserve kmem_cache (or even
mempool) would make sense?

For ITER_IOVEC max_pages applies - which is limited to
FUSE_MAX_MAX_PAGES - why can't this be used in virtio_fs_ctx_set_defaults?

@Miklos, is there a reason why there is no upper fc->max_{read,write}
limit in process_init_reply()? Shouldn't both be limited to
(FUSE_MAX_MAX_PAGES * PAGE_SIZE). Or any other reasonable limit?


Thanks,
Bernd
