If there are outstanding LAYOUTGET rpc calls, then we want to ensure that we keep the layout stateid around so we that don't inadvertently pick up an old/misordered sequence id. The race is as follows: Client Server ====== ====== LAYOUTGET(seqid) LAYOUTGET(seqid) return LAYOUTGET(seqid+1) return LAYOUTGET(seqid+2) process LAYOUTGET(seqid+2) forget layout process LAYOUTGET(seqid+1) If it forgets the layout stateid before processing seqid+1, then the client will not check the layout->plh_barrier, and so will set the stateid with seqid+1.
