In the log file, each 'create' request is followed by several
'getattr' requests. I guess these 'getattr' requests resulted from
some kinds of permission check, but I can't reproduce this situation
locally.

which version of ceph/kernel are you using? do you use ceph-fuse or
kernel client, what's the mount options?
