+ /* This is an ugly Linux specific hack, relying on subtle
+ * implementation details.
+ *
+ * The self-heal algorithm of replicate relies on being
+ * notified by means of a flush fop whenever a consumer
+ * of a file is done with that file. If this happens
+ * from userspace by means of close(2) or process termination,
+ * the kernel sends us a FLUSH message which we can handle with
+ * the flush fop (nb. this mechanism itself is Linux specific!!).
+ *
+ * However, if it happens from a kernel context, we get no FLUSH,
+ * just the final RELEASE when all references to the file are gone.
+ * We try to guess that this is the case by checking if the last FLUSH
+ * on the file was just the previous message. If not, we conjecture
+ * that this release is from a kernel context and call the flush fop
+ * here.
+ *
+ * Note #1: we check the above condition by means of looking at
+ * the "unique" values of the FUSE messages, relying on which is
+ * a big fat NO NO NO in any sane code.
+ *
+ * Note #2: there is no guarantee against false positives (in theory
+ * it's possible that the scheduler arranges an unrelated FUSE message
+ * in between FLUSH and RELEASE, although it seems to be unlikely), but
+ * extra flushes are not a problem.
+ *
+ * Note #3: cf. Bug #223.
