Thanks for the report.

I tried out the reproducer, and the deadlock can be triggered.
Unfortunately killing the deadlocked processes is not enough, but it
still should be possible to recover with "echo 1 >
/sys/fs/fuse/connections/$FUSE_DEV/abort".    In my tests this works,
so I'm not sure there's anything to fix here.

Is there a real life situation where this occurs, or is this just
triggered with fuzzing?

I'm wondering why syzbot didn't try aborting using the "abort" file in
sysfs, AFAICS it does know this trick.

Thanks,
Miklos
