v9fs_vfs_atomic_open() and v9fs_vfs_atomic_open_dotl() call
finish_open(file, dentry, generic_file_open) regardless of the file
type the server reported for the created dentry. The supplied
callback replaces f_op->open in do_dentry_open(), so blkdev_open()
never runs for a server-reported device node: an open() with O_CREAT
succeeds with f_op = def_blk_fops while f_mapping still points at the
9p inode, because the bdev mapping swap only happens inside
blkdev_open(). The block file methods then derive their block_device
from that inode with I_BDEV(); the loads land at the tail of a
656-byte v9fs_inode_cache object (offsets +624 and +632), which KASAN
reports as slab-out-of-bounds, and the garbage they read is then
dereferenced, so the first read(), write(), ioctl() or close() ends
in a NULL pointer write and a panic. In the ioctl(BLKGETSIZE64)
variant the value read this way is returned to userspace.
The server controls the file type reported for the create, so a
malicious server can crash the client this way. KASAN report of the
read() variant, on a build of linux-stable 2709dd5ae32f:

The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff88800828cc40
which belongs to the cache v9fs_inode_cache of size 656
The buggy address is located 624 bytes inside of
allocated 656-byte region [ffff88800828cc40, ffff88800828ced0)
A plain open() without O_CREAT is not affected: it runs blkdev_open()
and either maps the device correctly or fails with -ENXIO for an rdev
with no registered device. When the created inode is not a regular
file, clunk the fid the create opened. The unopened fid is already
on the dentry. Set FMODE_CREATED and return finish_no_open(file, NULL)
so the VFS keeps its dentry reference and calls the inode's ->open.
Regular files still use finish_open() with generic_file_open.

The unopened fid is already on the dentry. This clunks the fid
opened by the create. finish_no_open(file, NULL) leaves the VFS
dentry reference alone; FMODE_CREATED makes the caller run vfs_open().
