Benny hi

If I remember/understand correctly, there is a mode in the RFC errata
about the layout forgetful-model and a client sending a layout_get with
an open_state_id after he already had previous state (layouts) on the file.

As I understood this is an indication to the server that client has
"forgotten" all it's layouts on a file, and Server can assume their
return.

Is my understanding correct?

If Yes:
	Did we implement the internal return of all layouts, if above
	open_state_id is encountered?
	I thought we did but I can't find this code.

Currently, I always set ROC so there is no leak. But theoretically
ROC does not have to be set. I'm doing some heavy lifting of
layout_return, and I want to make sure I have not missed a spot.

If I'm correct that it is needed, and it's missing:
My suggestion for now is that we always set ROC, disregarding FS so not to
leak layouts and therefor inode-refs, until such time that we implement it.

Thanks
Boaz
