Hi Alessio,

Thank you for working on this, I'm excited to see things moving again on
this front!

What I would really like to see in the long-term is the ability for FUSE
to support passthrough for specific areas of a file, i.e. the ability to
specify different passthrough fds for different regions of the FUSE
file.

I do not want to ask you to extend the patch, but I am a little worried
that the proposed interface would make a future extension more
complicated than necessary. Could you comment on that? Is there a way to
design the libfuse interface in a way that would - in the future - make
it easier to extend it along these lines?

What I have in mind is things like not coupling the setup of the
passthrough fds to open(), but having a separate notification message for
this (like what we use for invalidation of cache), and adding not just
an "fd" field but also "offset" and "length" fields (which would
currently be required to be both zero to get the "full file" semantics).

What do you think?

Best,
-Nikolaus
