Or, as EBADF is somewhat unexpected here (assuming v9fs_co_closedir() was
called by checking for a valid file handle), maybe it would make sense to log
this?
if (unlikely(err && errno == EBADF)) {
error_report("v9fs_co_closedir() failed with EBADF");
} else {
total_open_fd--;
}
In the sense, if EBADF happens here, it's an indication for a bug in 9p
server.

Same here then.
