I hate to be that guy but could you run checkpatch on your patches.

This is very much like the work done by Lai. The difference is Lai remove 
the work queue handling complete in htable_lookup(). You can see the 
details at https://jira.hpdd.intel.com/browse/LU-9049. I will push the 
missing lu_object fixes including LU-9049 on top of your patch set so you
can see the approach Lai did. Form their we can figure out merge the 
lu_object work and fixing the issues Andreas and I pointed out.

I have the same question.
