1) You need to also call PetscSectionSetDof() in order to get full sizes. I
don't just add up the fields.

2) You need to set the DM into the KSP using KSPSetDM()

3) You need to make the DM inactive if you want to provide your own Mat/Vec
using KSPSetDMActive()

4) Then you can get rid of the special code for FS

5) Your options were wrong because you named the fields

I include a revised code sample, and you should run with

  -ksp_type gmres -pc_type fieldsplit -fieldsplit_Field_0_pc_type ilu
-fieldsplit_Field_0_ksp_type preonly -fieldsplit_Field_1_pc_type jacobi
-fieldsplit_Field_1_ksp_type preonly -ksp_view -ksp_monitor

 Thanks,

     Matt

and get the following output:
