Re: [PATCH RFC] fuse: add generic file store

A possible use case is fuse fd passthrough being developed
by Alessio Balsini [1] where underlying file system fd can be saved in
this file store.

oh, this could be quite what I'm currently intending do implement
(just considered 9p instead of fuse as it looks simpler to me):

I'd like the server being able to directly send an already opened fd to
the client (in response to it calling open()), quite like we can send
fd's via unix sockets.

The primary use case of that is sending already prepared fd's (eg. an
active network connection, locked-down file fd, a device that the client
can't open himself, etc).

Is that what you're working on ?
