I thought that 77469c3f5 ("9p: saner ->write_end() on failing copy into
non-uptodate page") prevented from that happening, but that's actually the
change that's causing it (I ended up misreading it last night).
Will fix it as follows:
diff --git a/fs/9p/vfs_addr.c b/fs/9p/vfs_addr.c
index adaf6f6..be84c0c 100644
--- a/fs/9p/vfs_addr.c
+++ b/fs/9p/vfs_addr.c

p9_debug(P9_DEBUG_VFS, "filp %p, mapping %p\n", filp, mapping);
- if (unlikely(copied < len && !PageUptodate(page))) {

}
