I don't understand why this patch is necessary.  It introduces an
intermediate structure that doesn't seem to be useful by itself.
Don't we always need the V9fsFidState?

The name "fs" is not meaningful.

This name is confusing.  A "map" is usually a container that stores
key/value pairs.  V9fsFidMapEntry would be clearer.  But then I
thought that is what V9fsFidState is?

I am bad at naming. I wanted to indicate something that can be shared
across multiple fids and also indicate the local file system
"mapping"/data. I will take any suggestion.

Where does sharing happen, I didn't notice any code that shares fds
between fids?

I saw your response to a later patch in this series that fd sharing is
not implemented.  In that case this patch doesn't add value, it just
makes the code harder to understand by introducing an unused level of
indirection for which we don't have a good name yet.

Perhaps drop this patch from the series and send it later if you
implement fd sharing.

That patch is not yet there. We can only share fd if they open flags
match. Hence making sure we open files on host with limited set of open
flags which enables us much better sharing.

Tracking open flags is fine and is needed for fd reclaim.  But
splitting V9fsFidState into the V9fsFidMap structure and all the churn
that causes to the code isn't necessary yet.  Please wait with that
until you submit patches fd sharing.  The reason I make this
suggestion is that everyone reading or working on the code until fd
sharing is added now needs to deal with the V9fsFidMap structure which
(currently) serves no purpose.
