Hi Jim I think this "writeback deadlock" should be sent for
current 3.1 since surly it renders pnfsblock unusable. If you
feel it has not been tested enough consider submitting it with
CC: stable@. Because it should hit 3.1.x eventually. No?
(While at it maybe some of the other clear FIXs above as well
these that make it unusable)
I did send it to Trond (see the first list above). If the patches from the
first list don't show up in 3.1 I will send them again with cc: stable.
