After advice from Mateusz Guzik, I decided to do the latter. The implementation is simple because it piggybacks on the existing work_struct for ceph_queue_inode_work() - ceph_inode_work() calls iput() at the end which means we can donate the last reference to it.
This patch adds ceph_iput_async() and converts lots of iput() calls to it - at least those that may come through writeback and the messenger.
What would force those delayed calls through at fs shutdown time?
