- * Unfortunately request interruption not just solves the deadlock
- * problem, it causes problems too.  These stem from the fact, that an
- * interrupted request is continued to be processed in userspace,
- * while all the locks and object references (inode and file) held
- * during the operation are released.
- *
- * To release the locks is exactly why there's a need to interrupt the
- * request, so there's not a lot that can be done about this, except
- * introduce additional locking in userspace.
- *
- * More important is to keep inode and file references until userspace
- * has replied, otherwise FORGET and RELEASE could be sent while the
- * inode/file is still used by the filesystem.
- *
- * For this reason the concept of "background" request is introduced.
- * An interrupted request is backgrounded if it has been already sent
- * to userspace.  Backgrounding involves getting an extra reference to
- * inode(s) or file used in the request, and adding the request to
- * fc->background list.  When a reply is received for a background
- * request, the object references are released, and the request is
- * removed from the list.  If the filesystem is unmounted while there
- * are still background requests, the list is walked and references
- * are released as if a reply was received.
- *
- * There's one more use for a background request.  The RELEASE message is
- * always sent as background, since it doesn't return an error or
- * data.
