Thanks for verification.
The reason is that resource owner has reference to segment till commit time
which leads to this warning. The fix is to remove reference from
resource owner when user calls this new API dsm_keep_segment, similar
to what currently dsm_keep_mapping does.
Find the updated patch to fix this problem attached with this mail.
