commit 4eb3117888a92 changed the cache= option to accept either string
shortcuts or bitfield values. It also changed /proc/mounts to emit the
option as the hexadecimal numeric value rather than the shortcut string.

However, by printing "cache=%x" without the leading 0x, shortcuts such
as "cache=loose" will emit "cache=f" and 'f' is not a string that is
parseable by kstrtoint(), so remounting may fail if a remount with
"cache=f" is attempted.

debug=%x has had the same problem since options have been displayed in
c4fac9100456 ("9p: Implement show_options")

Fix these by adding the 0x prefix to the hexadecimal value shown in
/proc/mounts.

fs/9p: Don't open remote file with APPEND mode when writeback cache is used 2025-12-18T12:59:32+00:00 Tingmao Wang m@maowtm.org 2025-11-02T23:56:30+00:00 c7ace9a933733da51c1204491ecb9278f9567d74 [ Upstream commit a63dd8fd137933551bfd9aeeeaa942f04c7aad65 ] When page cache is used, writebacks are done on a page granularity, and it is expected that the underlying filesystem (such as v9fs) should respect the write position. However, currently v9fs will passthrough O_APPEND to the server even on cached mode. This causes data corruption if a sync or fstat gets between two writes to the same file. This patch removes the APPEND flag from the open request we send to the server when writeback caching is involved. I believe keeping server-side APPEND is probably fine for uncached mode (even if two fds are opened, one without O_APPEND and one with it, this should still be fine since they would use separate fid for the writes).
