Hi Linus,

I rarely send fixes out small things before rc1, for single patches do
you have a preference between a pull request or just resending the patch
again with you added to recipients after reviews?

9p-for-5.17-rc3: fix cannot walk open fid rule

the 9p 'walk' operation requires fid arguments to not originate from
an open or create call and we've missed that for a while as the
servers regularly running tests with don't enforce the check and
no active reviewer knew about the rule.

Both reporters confirmed reverting this patch fixes things for them
and looking at it further wasn't actually required...
Will take more time for follow up and enforcing the rule more
thoroughly later.
