[Gluster-devel] FIRST_CHILD(frame->this)->fops->create

If this is the actual code below you have in your fop, please look for
the comments inline -

you need to have the loc->inode and loc->parent members filled in
properly. See fuse-bridge.c and server-protocol.c on how to generate
create()able inodes and fds. To reach the parent inode of the
directory where the file needs to be created, refer the
fuse_loc_fill() or server_loc_fill() functions.

the fd pointer should be pre-allocated with fd_create(). Refer
fuse_create() and fuse_create_cbk() to figure out the right things to
do. If you can describe your requirements in more detail, we can
suggest a few tips and directions on how to proceed.
