Subject: Re: [V9fs-developer] [PATCH kernel] 9p/trans_fd: Check file mode at
 opening

Hi Alexey,

Working on 9p now ?!? ;-)

Cc'ing Dominique Martinet who appears to be the person who takes care of 9p
these days.

So this would cause open() to fail with EBADF, which might look a bit
weird to userspace since it didn't pass an fd... Is this to have a
different error than -EIO that is returned when either rfd or wfd
doesn't point to an open file descriptor ? If yes, why do we care ?
