This is just a safety precaution to avoid checking flags on memory that was initialized on the user space side. libfuse zeroes struct fuse_init_out outarg, but this is not guranteed to be done in all implementations. Better is to act on flags and to only apply flags2 when FUSE_INIT_EXT is set. There is a risk with this change, though - it might break existing user space libraries, which are already using flags2 without setting FUSE_INIT_EXT.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
