Hmm. We only insert layouts (and search for conflicts) after calling
->proc_layoutget. So this might be racy against unwritten extent
conversion, or other writers, which is a bit of an issue. I guess
we need to fix nfsd4_layoutget to insert an in-progress layout before
calling into ->layouget.

We absolutely should be doing that as I said from my first reply.
Still trying to understand what is going on here at a higher level,
though.
