[GIT PULL] 9p fixes for 7.2-rc1

[GIT PULL] 9p fixes for 7.2-rc1

[Dominique Martinet]

Hi Linus,

same report as usual with barely keeping up: there's actually another
half a dozen of LLM patches I didn't pick up for this cycle and will try
to find time to review for next one, and I'm not as happy as I want to
be about how thoroughly I've checked the patches that did get in (please
let me know if you'd rather I drop the "fix infinite loop in
p9_client_rpc on fatal signal" patch I mentioned in the tag, I think
the patch should be ok, but I don't necessarily judge the risk the same
as you would)

The commit date being a bit earlier today was just me dropping a commit
I hadn't intended to send, nothing else was reworked recently.

-------
The following changes since commit 8fc518e489c1386fd0cf7f4256d055960ed6a2e4:

  9p/trans_xen: replace simple_strto* with kstrtouint (2026-04-16 02:57:01 +0000)

  9p: Add missing read barrier in virtio zero-copy path (2026-06-21 05:22:57 +0000)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Asides of the avalanche of LLM-driven fixes, there are a couple of
big changes this cycle:

- negative dentry and symlink cache
- a way out of the unkillable "io_wait_event_killable" (because it
  looped around waiting for the request flush to come back from
  server; this has been bugging syzcaller folks since forever):
  I'm still not 100% sure about this patch, but I think it's as
  good as we'll ever get, and will keep testing a bit further in the
  coming weeks

The rest is more noisy than usual, but shouldn't cause any trouble.
