Hm, it prevents interrupts. Looking closely, however it will only
prevent SIGKILL from immediately interrupting the request, otherwise
it will send an INTERRUPT request and the filesystem can ignore that.
Might make sense to have a args.nonint flag to prevent the sending of
INTERRUPT...

Maybe not for SETUPMAPPING (I was confused by the error log).

However if REMOVEMAPPING fails for some reason, than that dax mapping
will be leaked for the lifetime of the filesystem. Or am I
misunderstanding it?

Okay, and please move it to fuse_setup_one_mapping() where there's
already a pr_debug() for the success case.

I think before this is merged we have to fix the KVM crash; that's not
acceptable even if we explicitly say that shared directory is not
supported for the time being.

Thanks,
