Perhaps, this additional change should be added (I only found two instances of
V9fsSynthOpenState allocation):

(To be precise) not just zero, but 1 byte. Also, to remind, for some
filesystems, such as CIFS, actual d_name size could be longer than NAME_MAX.
Because of that struct dirent cannot be allocated statically or with simple
sizeof.

Why g_new0 and not just g_malloc0? This is smallest code change, which seems
appropriate for a bug fix.
Thanks,
