Before we share blocks between files, we need to break the pnfs leases
on the layout before we start slicing and dicing the block map.

I find the double predicates here highly confusing.

Also the code doesn't seem to handle the src == dest case as
far as I can tell.
+retry:
+	if (src_first) {
+		inode_lock(src);
+		inode_lock_nested(dest, I_MUTEX_NONDIR2);
+	} else {
+		inode_lock(dest);
+	}
Shouldn't this be replaced by a call to lock_two_nondirectories?
Even if that holds both locks over the noon-blocking break_layout
it makes things a lot simpler and only does an additional rountrip
for the layouts outstanding slow path.
+	error = break_layout(dest, false);
+	if (error == -EWOULDBLOCK) {
+		inode_unlock(dest);
+		if (src_first)
+			inode_unlock(src);
unlock_two_nondirectories?
+		error = break_layout(dest, true);
+		if (error)
+			return error;
+		goto retry;
+	} else if (error) {
no need for an else after a goto.
+		inode_unlock(dest);
+		if (src_first)
+			inode_unlock(src);
unlock_two_nondirectories?

Also seems like this could be simplified to:

	if (error) {
		unlock_two_nondirectories()
		if (error == -EWOULDBLOCK)
			goto retry;
		return error;
	}

So I guess the whole thing could simply become something like:

retry:
	lock_two_nondirectories(src, dest);
	error = break_layout(dest, false);
	if (error) {
		unlock_two_nondirectories(src, dest);
		if (error == -EWOULDBLOCK)
			goto retry;
		return error;
	}

and could probably just be inlined into the caller..
