Hang in 9p/virtio

Hi,

With fault injection triggering an allocation failure for the
alloc_indirect() call in virtqueue_add() I'm seeing a hang in
p9_virtio_zc_request() -- it seems to be waiting here indefinitely
(i.e. at least 120 seconds):

err = wait_event_interruptible(*req->wq,
req->status >= REQ_STATUS_RCVD);

Maybe somebody who is already familiar with the could would have a look?
