Heh, I don't know.

please see the reproducer,

	https://syzkaller.appspot.com/x/repro.c?x=10d6a44c580000

  res = syscall(__NR_pipe2, /*pipefd=*/0x400000001900ul, /*flags=*/0ul);
  if (res != -1) {
    r[2] = *(uint32_t*)0x400000001900;
    r[3] = *(uint32_t*)0x400000001904;
  }

then

  res = syscall(__NR_dup, /*oldfd=*/r[3]);
  if (res != -1)
    r[4] = res;

so r[2] and r[4] are the read/write fd's.

then later

   memcpy((void*)0x400000000280, "trans=fd,", 9);
   ...
   memcpy((void*)0x400000000289, "rfdno", 5);
   ...
   sprintf((char*)0x40000000028f, "0x%016llx", (long long)r[2]);
   ...
   memcpy((void*)0x4000000002a2, "wfdno", 5);
   ...
   sprintf((char*)0x4000000002a8, "0x%016llx", (long long)r[4]);
   ...
   syscall(__NR_mount, /*src=*/0ul, /*dst=*/0x400000000000ul,
           /*type=*/0x400000000040ul, /*flags=*/0ul, /*opts=*/0x400000000280ul);

so this pipe is actually used as "trans=fd".

Yes, I am not familiar with 9p or netfs, so I don't know either.

Oleg.
