Can you try the attached?  I've also put it on my branch here:

9p: Don't revert the I/O iterator after reading

Don't revert the I/O iterator before returning from p9_client_read_once().
netfslib doesn't require the reversion and nor doed 9P directory reading.

Make p9_client_read() use a temporary iterator to call down into
p9_client_read_once(), and advance that by the amount read.
