The fix looks good, but still allows the request to block during the copy phase
after being aborted, which the FR_LOCKED/FR_ABORT bits are meant to prevent.

Here's an updated fix.  It does not allow the request to be queued on the
fpq->io list after fuse_abort_conn() has aborted requests on that list.

Can you verify that it fixes the race you reported?

Thanks,
