Thanks; I appreciate the feedback you've provided so far.

Sure. I'm happy to reparent, resolve those conflicts, re-test, and send
another revision when we're ready.  I suspect there are going to be
additional changes requested on the v2.  With that in mind, I'll hold
off for the moment unless it is going to cause headaches for you.

For the atomic-open-revalidate changes: should I be working from what's
on the list?  This is the most recent patchset I see:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20230920173445.3943581-1-bschubert@ddn.com/

I found a 6.5 relative tree of yours on GitHub by following the libfuse
pull request, but nothing that seemed in sync with fuse/for-next.

Thanks,
