I haven't yet addressed the previous review feedback from Miklos. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1093869 Running 9p server and client on the same host even though possible is not a strong use case at this point. I will get to that later. The patch series also don't address cache consistency issue that can arise due to direct modification in the server. I am not sure we need to complicate the client code for that considering the cache model that we follow is loose. In short the set of patches help the virtualization pass-through use case (http://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/9psetup) -aneesh
