Hi Andy.

I hope you are online could you chat with me a bit about this, 
on boazharrosh-Re5JQEeQqe9fmgfxC/sS/w@public.gmane.org

I have seen your patch and i like it a lot. I have not yet test with
it, so I own you.

I'm talking about the other problem I had where the write-out returns
NFS_FILE_SYNC and commit is not called and pnfs_client_ops->nfs_commit_complete()
is not eventually called, then inode never gets written/updated and we get all
these straining .nfs000000000000XXX files and IO never finishes. You said
you had them too and I had a work around for objects. (This problem is new
in 2.6.34)

Do you have this problem or it's only me?
