Haven't tried running or compiling, comments out of my head that might
be wrong below

You're adding this report tag but I don't see how you fix that failure.
What you need is p9_tag_cleanup(clnt) from p9_client_destroy -- I assume
this isn't possible for any fid to be allocated at this point so the fid
destroying loop is -probably- optional.

I would assume it is needed from p9_client_version failures.

Pretty sure you'll be "leaking transports" if someone tries to pass
trans=foo multiple times; this can't be removed...(continues below)...

... unless you also break the whole parsing, with this asking for -o
trans=virtio,msize=1M will just ignore the msize argument.
(or anything else that follows)

I appreciate that you're trying to avoid the get_default_trans below,
but unless you just remember the last string and try to get it get/put
trans is the most straight forward way to go.


(Note you just got me to try weird parsing and my old version was
double-puting these modules because of the put_trans below in this
function echoes with the client destroy. That'd just require removing
the put here though (or nulling after put), yet another invariant I had
wrongly assumed... Anyway.)

(oh, and if you parse options after trans= you'll need some sort of
escape hatch here...)

Pretty sure kmem_cache used to issue a warning when we did that (hence
me trying to move it up on allocation) -- at this point there can still
be in flight requests we need to finish freeing before we can destroy
the cache.
