That's a bug, all right, but I would love to see how you trigger it.
It would require server to respond to "write that many bytes" with "OK,
<greater number> bytes written".  We certainly need to cope with that
(we can't trust the server to be sane), but if that's what is going on,
you've got a server bug as well.

Could you check if the patch below triggers WARN_ON() in it on your
reproducer?  p9_client_read() has a similar issue as well...

So if we'd actually want to merge it with the warning, I'd prefer writing it as

        if (WARN_ON_ONCE(count > rsize))
              count = size;

because it's smaller and cannot spam your logs. WARN_ON_ONCE() will
only _warn_ once, but it always returns the conditional for the
warning, so the above does the right thing.

Sure, but I would really like to verify that this _is_ what's going on
there.  This is just a "please try that on your reproducer to make sure
that it's not something entirely different", thus the lack of S-o-b,
etc.  For the final variant (and we definitely should cope with BS from
server) we probably want to use p9_debug() instead of WARN_ON/WARN_ON_ONCE.

I've tried something like your patch before to check the read side
and I haven't seen anything before and don't see it right now.
Though, this doesn't mean that there is no problem with read.
I mean that trinity hits this on write and may just not hit this on read.
