Overall pretty good for something that hadn't even been tested! I'm done with the comments here, the three other patches I didn't comment look good to me. For [PATCH 4/6] 9p: Remove an unnecessary memory barrier, your suggested wording in the comment is good; I've offered to do it if you aren't going to but since you're submitting a second version of the other patchs I suggest you do this one as well. Thanks for the well-needed cleanup, -- Dominique Martinet
