The type of 'num_fwd' in ceph 'MClientRequestForward' is 'int32_t',
while in 'ceph_mds_request_head' the type is '__u8'. So in case
the request bounces between MDSes exceeding 256 times, the client
will get stuck.

In this case it's ususally a bug in MDS and continue bouncing the
request makes no sense.
Ouch.  Nice catch.  This patch looks OK to me, just 2 minor comments
bellow.

Not sure -EIO is the most appropriate.  Maybe -E2BIG... although not quite
it either.

Yeah, I also not very sure here.

Jeff ?

This 'goto' statement can be dropped, but one before (when the
lookup_get_request() fails) needs to be adjusted, otherwise
ceph_mdsc_put_request() may be called with a NULL pointer.

Yeah, will fix it.

Thanks.
