For the record, my comments regarding fuse_export_fid_operations and ovl_export_fid_operations variants were purely semantic - it did not make sense to mark them as _STABLE_HANDLE, but it does not matter if you set a flag on those ops, because they do not implement ->fh_to_dentry(), on purpose, they are not exportfs_can_decode_fh() by design.
