Boaz, try to remain calm.

Trond, please remove this patch from your nfs-for-next branch.  I can send a
revert patch if you like.

Uh-oh, I see it's been sent to stable too.

    pnfsblock: init pg_bsize properly
    
    pg_bsize is server->wsize/rsize by default. We would want to use the lseg
    length.

  If you want to get lazy about this patch and take the easy way out.
  The least you can do is supply the same fix to that other place
  that has the same bug.

  This is not nice. You have identified a deficiency in the generic
  layer, You know that objects would have the same bug, (because I told you)
  and you just don't care. I have spent plenty of times slaving over
  blocks code when changing or fixing generic layer. (And Benny even more
  then me)

  And when you will actually send a patch that does exactly the same in
  two places, which access only generic members, you might see that it
  might be better to fix it in a single place at the generic layer.

  NACK. I'm ok with getting lazy like below, but only if you also
  add the same code to objio_osd.c

Sorry, I sent the wrong patch.  Trond, please drop this one.
