Sorry not so familiar with processes like these.

Thanks!

The steps to reproduce are:
mkfs.xfs -f a whole device bigger than int in bytes. mkfs.xfs sends a 
discard. Important is that you use scsi-hd and set 
discard_granularity=512. Otherwise rbd disabled discard support.

Might you have a look at my other rbd fix too? It fixes a race between 
task cancellation and writes. The same race was fixed in iscsi this summer.

Greets,
