The proposed fix is no brainer:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240202121531.2550018-1-lizhi.xu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

+ v9fs_stat2inode_dotl(st, inode, 0);
  kfree(st);
  if (retval)
    goto error;

- v9fs_stat2inode_dotl(st, inode, 0);

Please ship it to Linus asap.
I'm surprised this bug slipped through.

It does affect bpf developers and our CI, since we run with KASAN and use 9P.
