It seems object layout uses the same code path as well. But I don't find the patch in either your tree or Benny's tree. Are there any concerns? > > Thanks, > Tao The whole pnfs_ld_write_done thing is bogus and needs to be replaced with something sane. It is trying to initiate a WRITE RPC call with the wrong block size, and is calling the MDS rpc_call_done() and rpc_release() with an uninitialised rpc task pointer. Ditto for pnfs_ld_read_done.
