Is that expected? Yes. The callers that pass in NULL are callers who should really never encounter a write delegation. E.g. it might happen if you exported a filesystem that you're also stacking ecryptfs on top of (assuming that's possible). Maybe I'm missing something, but that looks pointless. Erroring out seems a safe way to handle it. It wouldn't be a problem to convert more of those callers to do the same retry loop, it just seems better to avoid the extra spaghetti to support what looks like a nutty use case. --b.
