Doh! You are quite correct.

Modifying fuse_get_req_nofail_nopages to fail is a bug.

I am thinking the proper solution is to write:

static void fuse_req_init_context_nofail(struct fuse_req *req)
{
req->in.h.uid = 0;
req->in.h.gid = 0;
req->in.h.pid = 0;
}

And use that in the nofail case. As it appears neither flush nor
the eviction of inodes is a user space triggered action and as such
user space identifiers are nonsense in those cases.

I will respin this patch shortly.
