If writeback cache is enabled, then writes might get reordered with
chmod/chown/utimes. The problem with this is that performing the write in
the fuse daemon might itself change some of these attributes. In such case
the following sequence of operations will result in file ending up with the
wrong mode, for example:
int fd = open ("suid", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL);
write (fd, "1", 1);
fchown (fd, 0, 0);
fchmod (fd, 04755);
close (fd);
This patch fixes this by flushing pending writes before performing
chown/chmod/utimes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
