9p server might or might not send a reply on cancelled request. If 9p server
notices client's Tflush request early enough, then it would simply discard the
old=cancelled request and not send any reply on that old request. If server
notices Tflush too late, then server would send a response to the old request.

http://ericvh.github.io/9p-rfc/rfc9p2000.html#anchor28

However after sending Tflush client waits for the corresponding Rflush
response, and at this point situation should be clear; no further response
expected from server for old request at this point. And that's what Linux
client does.

Which server implementation caused that?
