            SYNOPSIS
    
                  size[4] Tgetattr tag[2] fid[4] request_mask[8]
    
                  size[4] Rgetattr tag[2] lstat[n]
    
               DESCRIPTION
    
                  The getattr transaction inquires about the file identified by fid.
                  request_mask is a bit mask that specifies which fields of the
                  stat structure is the client interested in.
    
                  The reply will contain a machine-independent directory entry,
                  laid out as follows:

            This patch implements the client side of getattr implementation for
            9P2000.L. It introduces a new structure p9_stat_dotl for getting
            Linux stat information along with QID. The data layout is similar to
            stat structure in Linux user space with the following major
            differences:
    
            inode (st_ino) is not part of data. Instead qid is.
    
            device (st_dev) is not part of data because this doesn't make sense
            on the client.
    
            All time variables are 64 bit wide on the wire. The kernel seems to use
            32 bit variables for these variables. However, some of the architectures
            have used 64 bit variables and glibc exposes 64 bit variables to user
            space on some architectures. Hence to be on the safer side we have made
            these 64 bit in the protocol. Refer to the comments in
            include/asm-generic/stat.h
    
            There are some additional fields: st_btime_sec, st_btime_nsec, st_gen,
            st_data_version apart from the bitmask, st_result_mask. The bit mask
            is filled by the server to indicate which stat fields have been
            populated by the server. Currently there is no clean way for the
            server to obtain these additional fields, so it sends back just the
            basic fields.
