syzbot having a fresh look at 9p?

Well at least that one should be easy enough, the following (untested)
probably should work around that issue:

Subject: [PATCH] 9p: p9_client_create: use p9_client_destroy on failure

If trans was connected it's somehow possible to fail with requests in
flight that could still be accessed after free if we just free the clnt
on failure.
Just use p9_client_destroy instead that has proper safeguards.

I'll test and submit to Linus over the next few weeks.

I had a quick look at the other new syzbot warnings and:
 - 'possible deadlock in p9_req_put' is clear enough, we can just drop
the lock before running through the cancel list and I don't think
that'll cause any problem as everything has been moved to a local list
and that lock is abused by trans fd for its local stuff. I'll also send
that after quick testing.

syzbot reported a double-lock here and we no longer need this
lock after requests have been moved off to local list:
just drop the lock earlier.

 - but I don't get the two 'inconsistent lock state', the hint says it's
possibly an interrupt while the lock was held but that doesn't seem to
be the case from the stack trace (unless we leaked the lock, at which
point anything goes)
I'd need to take time to look at it, feel free to beat me to these.
