If we had a layout on the file the nfs4_file would be referenced and we should have found it. Since we don't then it means all layouts where ROC and at this point we returned all of them on file close. So why does the Linux wonderful forgetfull client returnes it's ROC layouts on inode evict() (I hit this on umount at client). Actually this is on me, because it is a bug in Generic client code, but can only manifest with pnf-obj after an IO error.
