IF we asked for a read, we cannot instantiate the buffer and then *not issue any IO on it* and release it. That leaves an uninitialised buffer in memory, and there's every chance that something then trips over it and bad things happen. A buffer like this *must* be errored out and marked stale so that the next access to it will then re-initialise the buffer state and trigger any preparatory work that needs to be done for the new operation. This comes back to my first comments that XBF_TRYLOCK cannot simpy be replaced with XBF_NOWAIT semantics... -Dave.
