hm, that's probably the version I sent without the fallback to
private_data fid if writeback fid was sent (I've only commented without
sending a v2)

ugh, you are correct, that was wrong as well in the version I sent by
mail... I've hurried that way too much.

The patch that's currently on the tip of my 9p-next branch should be
alright though, I'll resend it now so you can apply cleanly if you don't
want to fetch https://github.com/martinetd/linux/commits/9p-next

Yes, my version passes basic tests at least, and I could no longer
reproduce the problem.

Without the if (!fid) fid = file->private_data though it does fail
horribly like you've found out.
