In the current setattr implementation in 9p, fid is always retrieved from dentry no matter file instance exists or not. Thus, there may be some info related to opened file instance dropped. So it's better to retrieve fid from file instance when it has passed to setattr.
for example: fd=open("tmp", O_RDWR); ftruncate(fd, 10); The file context related with the fd will be lost as fid is retrieved from dentry, then the backend can't get the info of file context. It is against the original intention of user and may lead to bug.
