Hi Trond and Boaz,

If object layout requires layout being committed before returned (as fixed in
the 3/3 patch), is it a potential problem to directly return layout here as
well? e.g., if one lseg is successfully written and pending layoutcommit,
then another lseg of the same file failed read/write, then layout will be
returned w/o layoutcommit. For blocklayout, it is a potential data corruption
and that's why block layout doesn't set PNFS_LAYOUTRET_ON_ERROR bit. So
I'm wondering if object will suffer from the same issue?

Thanks,
Tao
