The motivation and direction of this change is correct but unfortunately 
this is little bigger than
what is being identified here. This problem is not just limited to 
xattrs.  Unfortunately this is all over the place.

If you look at the post* functions of say, v9fs_do_lgetxattr( which is 
nothing but local_lgetxattr)
it tries to capture errno.
v9fs_post_xattr_getvalue()
v9fs_post_lxattr_check()
etc.

But this is not always the case say, in v9fs_xattr_fid_clunk()
retval = v9fs_do_lsetxattr(retval = v9fs_do_lsetxattr()).
So the plan is to change this from top to bottom. Starting from the 
virtio-9p.c to the virtio-9p-local.c
to other files and functions.
Just as you did, we need to push the errno to the source of the system 
call and from then on,
just use the function return values populated up. There should not be 
any errno references
other than immediately after the systemcall().  Something like below.
But I will be posting an initial patch which moves all the errno into 
v9fs_do*()
and then into local.c . It will be great if you want to take this all 
the way. :)
