Has there been a reckoning for the employees, pilots & so on that knew and did nothing?

@dalias @navi On regular files, yes.

But if one builds FUSE filesystems for purposes similar to sysfs endpoints, that analogy breaks.

And the index limit for mmap is just a uint64 (this lacks equivalent infinity semantics).

One write use-case that comes to mind is a hash/checksum FUSE filesystem, where the input can indeed be of any length, from zero to infinite (though the trigger write to finish the digest will never happen in that last case).

Such "special" files are typically non-seekable, too.

(Yes, the ability of FUSE to serve as a poor man's 9p IPC interface is something I care about.)

@navi It really is. Most of that stuff has no place in the kernel.

For performance FUSE also have io_uring support, though it seems unavailable in Debian.

@icedquinn @zzt @lanodan @mia @navi DIY supports autonomy, can't have that.

Of course the only people that learn how to do things for themselves are <insert favorite horseman of the infocalypse>.

@dalias What I see is that they still failed to armor the cabin properly so the users will still die horribly the next time a deer or moose decides to throw itself in front of them.

The parts they armored are all the parts that don't matter because they were already engineered as a safe crumple zone.

What they did do is increase its lethality against children and pedestrians. A complete failure of a design.
