[PATCH V3 5/4] 9p: fix cache option printing in v9fs_show_options

From: Eric Sandeen

Date: Tue Dec 02 2025 - 17:31:12 EST


commit 4eb3117888a92 changed the cache= option to accept either string
shortcuts or bitfield values. It also changed /proc/mounts to emit the
option as the hexadecimal numeric value rather than the shortcut string.

However, by printing "cache=%x" without the leading 0x, shortcuts such
as "cache=loose" will emit "cache=f" and 'f' is not a string that is
parseable by kstrtoint(), so remounting may fail if a remount with
"cache=f" is attempted.

Fix this by adding the 0x prefix to the hexadecimal value shown in
/proc/mounts.
