Description of problem

I'm trying to run Docker VMs with Lima, which uses QEMU. I'm trying to expose my home directory on macOS to the Ubuntu VM using 9p. This is how the mount point looks like inside the Ubuntu VM:

root@lima-docker:~# mount | grep Users
mount0 on /Users/carlos type 9p (rw,relatime,dirsync,fscache,cachetag=4294894070,access=user,trans=virtio,version=9p2000.u)
root@lima-docker:~#

The problem I'm seeing is that doing an ls -l /Users/carlos gives a "Timer expired" error, and no output:

root@lima-docker:~# ls -l /Users/carlos
ls: reading directory '/Users/carlos': Timer expired
total 0

Under strace, it seems that the timer error is raised by the getdents64 system call:

root@lima-docker:~# strace -f ls -l /Users/carlos
[..]
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/Users/carlos", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_CLOEXEC|O_DIRECTORY) = 3
newfstatat(3, "", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=1984, ...}, AT_EMPTY_PATH) = 0
mmap(NULL, 135168, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xffffa16bf000
getdents64(3, 0xffffa16bf040, 131072)   = -1 ETIME (Timer expired)
[..]

I've also tried the 9p2000.L protocol instead, and the results are a bit better. I do get a directory listing, but I see "xxx" errors:

root@lima-docker:~# ls -l /Users/carlos
ls: /Users/carlos: Network dropped connection on reset
ls: /Users/carlos/Music: Network dropped connection on reset
ls: /Users/carlos/Pictures: Network dropped connection on reset
ls: /Users/carlos/Desktop: Network dropped connection on reset
ls: /Users/carlos/Library: Network dropped connection on reset
ls: /Users/carlos/Public: Network dropped connection on reset
ls: /Users/carlos/Movies: Network dropped connection on reset

The errors in this case seem to come from the lgetxattrsystem call:

root@lima-docker:~# strace -f ls -l /Users/carlos
[..]
statx(AT_FDCWD, "/Users/carlos/Downloads", AT_STATX_SYNC_AS_STAT|AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW, STATX_MODE|STATX_NLINK|STATX_UID|STATX_GID|STATX_MTIME|STATX_SIZE, {stx_mask=STATX_BASIC_STATS|STATX_MNT_ID, stx_attributes=0, stx_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, stx_size=5248, ...}) = 0
lgetxattr("/Users/carlos/Downloads", "security.selinux", 0xaaaaec72da70, 255) = -1 ENETRESET (Network dropped connection on reset)
write(2, "ls: ", 4ls: )                     = 4
write(2, "/Users/carlos/Downloads", 23/Users/carlos/Downloads) = 23
write(2, ": Network dropped connection on "..., 37: Network dropped connection on reset) = 37
[..]

I've reported this to the Lima folks at https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/issues/831, and they suggested opening an issue here. Any ideas?

Steps to reproduce

1. If you have Lima installed (I'm using version 0.10.0): limactl start --name=docker ./lima-templates/docker.yaml
