Re: 9p EBADF with cache enabled (Was: 9p fs-cache tests/benchmark (was: 9p fscache Duplicate cookie detected))

[David Howells]

There may be a quick and dirty workaround.  I think the problem is that unless
the O_APPEND read starts at the beginning of a page, netfs is going to enforce
a read.  Does the attached patch fix the problem?  (note that it's untested)

Also, can you get the contents of /proc/fs/fscache/stats from after
reproducing the problem?
