Subject: [PATCH 0/2] 9p: Fixes for hard-to-hit bugs

These two patches fix two hard-to-hit (but really annoying) bugs in 9p.
The first one was posted earlier in February (with one R-b), the second
is a new one.

Both of these have had soaking in NixOS distribution kernels for
a couple of months with no ill effects.

net/9p: Switch to wait_event_killable()

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fs/9p: Compare qid.path in v9fs_test_inode

Commit fd2421f54423 ("fs/9p: When doing inode lookup compare qid details
and inode mode bits.") transformed v9fs_qid_iget() to use iget5_locked()
instead of iget_locked(). However, the test() callback is not checking
fid.path at all, which means that a lookup in the inode cache can now
accidentally locate a completely wrong inode from the same inode hash
bucket if the other fields (qid.type and qid.version) match.

Fixes: fd2421f54423 ("fs/9p: When doing inode lookup compare qid details and inode mode bits.")

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] net/9p: Switch to wait_event_killable()

Because userspace gets Very Unhappy when calls like stat() and execve()
return -EINTR on 9p filesystem mounts. For instance, when bash is
looking in PATH for things to execute and some SIGCHLD interrupts
stat(), bash can throw a spurious 'command not found' since it doesn't
retry the stat().

In practice, hitting the problem is rare and needs a really
slow/bogged down 9p server.

Could you apply these? Thanks!
