<content type='text'>
While working on a modified server I had the Linux clients crash
a few times. This lead me to find this:

Some error codes are directly extracted from the server replies.
A malformed server reply could contain an invalid error code, with a
very large value. If this value is then passed to ERR_PTR() it will
not be properly detected as an error code by IS_ERR() and as a result
the kernel will dereference an invalid pointer.

This patch tries to avoid this.

<title>net/9p: Add __force to cast of __user pointer</title>

<content type='text'>
A recent commit that removed unnecessary casts of pointers
to the same type uncovered a missing __force cast.

Add it.

Adding casts of objects to the same type is unnecessary
and confusing for a human reader.

For example, this cast:

	int y;
	int *p = (int *)&amp;y;

I used the coccinelle script below to find and remove these
unnecessary casts.  I manually removed the conversions this
script produces of casts with __force and __user.

@@
type T;
T *p;
@@

-	(T *)p
+	p

Use of "unsigned int" is preferred to bare "unsigned" in net tree.

<id>urn:sha1:208f3c28aab706fca2bc1bae7091da8a99c5e322</id>
<content type='text'>
When a Tclunk or Tremove request is flushed, the fid is not freed on the
server.

p9_client_clunk() should retry once on interrupt, then if interrupted
again, leak the fid for the duration of the connection.

p9_client_remove() should call p9_client_clunk() on interrupt
instead of unconditionally destroying the fid.

When a signal is received while sending a Tflush, the client,
which has recursed into p9_client_rpc() while sending another request,
should wait for Rflush as long as the transport is still up.

<content type='text'>
Reduce object size by deduplicating formats.

Use vsprintf extension %pV.
Rename P9_DPRINTK uses to p9_debug, align arguments.
Add function for _p9_debug and macro to add __func__.
Add missing "\n"s to p9_debug uses.
Remove embedded function names as p9_debug adds it.
Remove P9_EPRINTK macro and convert use to pr_&lt;level&gt;.
Add and use pr_fmt and pr_&lt;level&gt;.

Instead of saying all integer argument option should be listed in the beginning
move integer parsing to each option type.
