For pNFS direct writes, layout driver may dynamically allocate ds_cinfo.buckets.
So we need to take care to free them when freeing dreq.

Ideally this needs to be done inside layout driver where ds_cinfo.buckets
are allocated. But buckets are attached to dreq and reused across LD IO iterations.
So I feel it's OK to free them in the generic layer.

Well spotted!
However doesn't the above need to be limited with an #ifdef
CONFIG_NFS_V4_1? Perhaps you can add a helper in
include/linux/nfs_xdr.h that takes a struct pnfs_ds_commit_info and
then frees the nbuckets.
Note also that kfree() is happy to take a NULL argument.

Thanks!

You are right! I'll send v2.
