I'm not sure I agree on the argument there: the waiting time is
unbounded for a single request as well. What's your use case?

I think it would be better to describe what you really do with
O_NONBLOCK that requires this, and not just false theoritical
arguments.

Code-wise looks mostly good, just a nitpick about keeping the total
variable in p9_client_read_once inline.

total only makes sense in an iterating p9_client_read, I think it makes
code harder to read here (can basically use count or 0 directly now)
