I checked it now, it's fine: there are only ceph_ioctl_dataloc
and ceph_ioctl_layout structures passed here, both of which
are compatible.

I assumed that the ceph_dir_fops operations were correct
here (they are), but you are right that I should have double
checked for more bugs as I encountered one of them.
