* This may be done inside the method invocation, or after the call

*
* Other pointer arguments (name, fuse_file_info, etc) are not valid
* after the call has returned, so if they are needed later, their
* contents have to be copied.
*
* In general, all methods are expected to perform any necessary
* permission checking. However, a filesystem may delegate this task
* to the kernel by passing the `default_permissions` mount option to
* `fuse_session_new()`. In this case, methods will only be called if
* the kernel's permission check has succeeded.
*
* The filesystem sometimes needs to handle a return value of -ENOENT
* from the reply function, which means, that the request was
* interrupted, and the reply discarded. For example if
* fuse_reply_open() return -ENOENT means, that the release method for
* this file will not be called.

* - When writeback caching is enabled, the kernel may send
* read requests even for files opened with O_WRONLY. The

* - When writeback caching is disabled, the filesystem is

* - When writeback caching is enabled, the kernel will

* (indicating that reliably O_APPEND is not available).
*
* Filesystem may store an arbitrary file handle (pointer,
