So it looks like we’re either calling nfs_inode_remove_request twice on a request,
or somehow not grabbing the inode reference for some request that is in the async
write path. It’s interesting that these come in pairs - that has to mean something!

Any more info on how to reproduce this would be really great. Unfortunately I don’t
have access to an arm64 system.

If it’s possible, could we get a packet trace around when this happens? This is pure
speculation, but this might have something to do the resend path - a commit fails
and all the requests on the commit list have to be resent.

Have you noticed any side effects from this? That WARN_ON_ONCE was added
to sanity test the new page group code and we need to fix this, but I’m wondering
if anything “bad” happens…
