[PATCH v5 2/3] fuse: create helper functions for filling in fuse args for open and getattr

From: Horst Birthelmer

Date: Tue Feb 10 2026 - 03:49:12 EST


From: Horst Birthelmer <hbirthelmer@xxxxxxx>

create fuse_getattr_args_fill() and fuse_open_args_fill() to fill in
the parameters for the open and getattr calls.

This is in preparation for implementing open+getattr and does not
represent any functional change.
