Thanks for the context. P1 is a duplicate of Zhenghang's Friday report,
please consider it withdrawn.

You are right that clearing ent->fuse_req only in the commit_fetch error
path is not sufficient. The same window is reachable across the whole
copy path in fuse_uring_prepare_send(), so a single-point clear leaves
the race open on the other exits. I will not push a v2 for this one and
leave the scope call to you.

P2 ([PATCH 2/2] serialize ring teardown and per-ent setup against
ent->state writers) is a separate path: ent->state being written without
the queue lock while teardown frees the ring. If that overlaps with what
you are looking at today, I will hold off on P2 as well. If it is out of
scope for your work, a short note is enough and I will keep tracking it
independently.

KASAN config and the repro harness (qemu + libfuse uring example with
abort-on-mount) are set up here, happy to test your fix once it is on
the list.

Thanks,
Berkant
