Hello maintainers and community,

This patch series addresses crash recovery issues for FUSE daemons
with passthrough support, following up on the previous RFC
discussion [1].

Problem Summary
===============
To simplify FUSE daemon crash recovery and reduce performance
overhead, passthrough backing_id information is not persisted.
However, this design choice introduces two issues when the daemon
restarts:

1. Non-persistent backing_ids prevent proper resource cleanup during
   daemon restart, potentially causing resource leaks.

2. New backing_ids allocated for the same backing file trigger -EIO
   errors due to strict pointer validation in
   fuse_inode_uncached_io_start(), even though the backing inodes
   are identical.

Changes from RFC v1
===================
Based on Amir Goldstein's suggestion, this v2 series implements:

Patch 1/2: "fuse: introduce close-all ioctl for passthrough backing
           cleanup"
  - Replaces the magic -1 value with a dedicated
    FUSE_DEV_IOC_BACKING_CLOSE_ALL ioctl for comprehensive cleanup
    during daemon restart.

Patch 2/2: "fuse: relax backing inode validation for crash recovery"
  - Drops the FOPEN_PASSTHROUGH_INODE_CACHE flag approach.
  - Modifies fuse_inode_uncached_io_start() to compare backing
    inodes instead of fuse_backing pointers, allowing safe reuse
    of identical backing files after recovery.

Testing
=======
The patches have been tested with FUSE daemon crash and recovery
scenarios on kernel 6.19-rc4, successfully resolving the -EIO
errors and backing file resource leaks.

This approach maintains the simplicity of non-persistent backing_ids
while ensuring proper recovery semantics.

Thank you for your review and previous guidance.
