Re: [PATCH v5] fs/9p: remove writeback fid and fix per-file modes

[Eric Van Hensbergen]

I swear I fixed that, must have been one of my fixes got dropped in
the process of churning over this patch.  I'm quite concerned that
this is coming up during the merge window because I'd really rather
not punt this patch series another two months.  I'm going to apply the
fix as an additional patch which hopefully Linus will accept with the
rest of the series.
