I tested symlinks and they seem to be handled correctly (i.e. the stripe
units seems to be the same as the target file).  Regarding pipes, I
didn't test them, but from the code it should be set to PAGE_SHIFT (see
the above mentioned commit 5ba72e607cdb).

Anyway, I can change the code to do *all* the i_blkbits initialization
inside the switch statement.  Something like:

switch (inode->i_mode & S_IFMT) {
case S_IFIFO:
case S_IFBLK:
case S_IFCHR:
case S_IFSOCK:
	inode->i_blkbits = PAGE_SHIFT;
        ...
case S_IFREG:
	inode->i_blkbits = fls(le32_to_cpu(info->layout.fl_stripe_unit)) - 1;
	...
case S_IFLNK:
	inode->i_blkbits = fls(le32_to_cpu(info->layout.fl_stripe_unit)) - 1;
	...
case S_IFDIR:
	inode->i_blkbits = CEPH_BLOCK_SHIFT;
	...
default:
	pr_err();
        ...
}

This would add some code duplication (S_IFREG and S_IFLNK cases), but
maybe it's a bit more clear.  The other option would be obviously to
leave the initialization outside the switch and only change the
i_blkbits value in the S_IF{IFO,BLK,CHR,SOCK,DIR} cases.
